DescriptionCVE.org

A flaw was found in the Dynamic Client Registration service of Keycloak, an open-source identity and access management solution. The issue occurs when a user with the view-clients role accesses the client registration endpoint to retrieve client details. Due to a failure to mask sensitive information, the service returns the client's confidential secret in cleartext. This could allow a read-only administrator to obtain full access to the affected client's account and potentially escalate their privileges within the realm.

AnalysisAI

Keycloak's Dynamic Client Registration endpoint exposes confidential client secrets in cleartext to users holding the view-clients realm management role, violating the principle of least privilege. Affected deployments include Red Hat Build of Keycloak and Red Hat Single Sign-On 7 across all tracked versions. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires that the attacker possess a valid Keycloak account that has been explicitly granted the view-clients realm management role - this role is not assigned by default to end users or even to all administrators, and must be deliberately delegated by a realm admin. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 4.9 medium score is justified at the raw metric level - PR:H requires the attacker to already hold a specific administrative role - but the practical business impact is meaningfully higher than the numeric score suggests because the compromised credential enables secondary privilege escalation: a view-clients user who obtains a client_secret can impersonate any confidential client in the realm, potentially gaining access to protected resource servers, user data, or other admin-adjacent APIs depending on how clients are scoped. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Consult the Red Hat security advisory at https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2026-89298 and the associated Bugzilla ticket at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2531871 for patch availability and exact fixed versions - no specific patched version was provided in the available intelligence data, so a vendor-confirmed fix version is not independently confirmed at time of analysis. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
