AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N
Network refresh endpoint (AV:N) but needs an existing refresh token (PR:L) plus a disabled-client/offline-validation condition (AC:H); limited confidentiality/integrity from continued token access, no availability impact.

2DescriptionNVD
A flaw was found in the OIDC protocol implementation of Keycloak, an open-source identity and access management solution. The issue occurs during the token refresh process when the server restores requested audiences from stored client IDs. Keycloak fails to verify if the target audience client is still enabled before issuing a new access token. This allows an application with an existing refresh token to continue obtaining valid access tokens for a disabled client, potentially bypassing administrative access controls for resource servers that rely on offline JWT validation.
AnalysisAI
Keycloak's OpenID Connect token refresh path can issue fresh access tokens on behalf of an OIDC client that an administrator has already disabled, because the server restores requested audiences from stored client IDs without re-checking whether that audience client is still enabled. An attacker who already possesses a valid, unexpired refresh token for the affected client can therefore keep obtaining usable access tokens after the client is turned off, but only against resource servers that validate the JWT locally (offline signature/claim checks) rather than calling Keycloak for introspection or userinfo. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Requires the attacker to already hold a valid, unexpired refresh token for a client (PR:L), and the specific target audience client must have been administratively disabled AFTER the refresh token was issued - this is the core precondition that makes the flaw meaningful. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | This is a genuinely low-to-moderate priority issue, and the signals are consistent rather than conflicting. … 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 | No vendor-released patch version is identified in the supplied intelligence, so the first step is to track the Red Hat advisory at https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2026-93999 and the Bugzilla entry at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2537165 for the exact fixed Red Hat Build of Keycloak / Red Hat Single Sign-On 7 build and upgrade as soon as it is published. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
