MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Privilege Escalation The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires the target to have an OIDC or Google identity provider configured with login restrictions such as claim filtering - deployments without such IdP restrictions are not affected because there is no check to bypass. The attacker must be an authenticated client (PR:L) capable of using the JWT-based authorization grant flow; the standard browser login path correctly enforces the claims and is not the affected path. Impact is limited to obtaining tokens for users the IdP claims should have blocked, with low confidentiality and integrity impact and no availability impact. |
| Impact | This is a moderate-severity authorization bypass (CWE-862) rated CVSS 5.4 via CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N. The network vector with low attack complexity and no user interaction makes the flaw easy to trigger, but PR:L means an attacker must already be an authenticated client, which meaningfully narrows the attacker population and caps impact at low confidentiality/integrity with no availability effect. No EPSS score was provided and there is no CISA KEV listing, so there is no signal of active exploitation; the vuln.today decision label is 'this_month' rather than act_now/emergency, consistent with a real but non-urgent issue. No SSVC decision breakdown (automatable, technical impact) was supplied. The practical risk is conditional: it only matters where an OIDC or Google identity provider is configured with login restrictions such as claim filtering, so this is a prioritize-within-the-month patch for affected Keycloak/RH-SSO deployments rather than a drop-everything CVSS-inflated issue. The signals are internally consistent - moderate CVSS, no exploitation evidence, mid-tier priority label all align. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | In a Keycloak or Red Hat Single Sign-On deployment where an OIDC or Google identity provider is configured to restrict logins (for example, filtering on specific claims), an authenticated client uses the JWT Authorization Grant flow instead of a standard browser login. Because the claim-filtering checks are skipped on that code path, the client obtains access tokens for a user whose identity-provider claims should have blocked the login. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 29, 2026
Keycloak's JWT Authorization Grant implementation skips the claim-filtering and login restrictions configured on OIDC or Google identity providers, so an authenticated client using that grant can obtain access tokens for users whose IdP claims should have blocked login. Red Hat Build of Keycloak and Red Hat Single Sign-On 7 are in the affected CPE set, and the issue is rated CVSS 5.4 (PR:L) with low confidentiality and integrity impact and no availability impact. The supplied data contains no CISA KEV entry and no public exploit identified at time of analysis; exploitation requires a restricted OIDC/Google IdP plus an authenticated client able to use the JWT grant flow.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch or fixed version is identified in the supplied data; monitor the Red Hat advisory at https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2026-117627 and Bugzilla 2561959 for the corrected build and apply it when available. The supplied advisory does not describe a workaround. Because exploitation requires a client able to use the JWT Authorization Grant flow against an OIDC or Google IdP configured with claim filtering, limiting that grant flow to trusted clients-with the trade-off that legitimate JWT-grant integrations may be disrupted-reduces exposure; deployments without such IdP login restrictions are not affected because no check is bypassed.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The flaw is in keycloak-services' JWT Authorization Grant handling and is classified CWE-862 (Missing Authorization). OIDC and Google identity providers can be configured with login restrictions-such as claim filtering-that are enforced on the standard browser login path; the JWT-based grant path does not apply those checks. The result is an authorization bypass for that specific flow: an authenticated client (CVSS PR:L) can request tokens for a user whose IdP claims would otherwise deny login. The trigger conditions are both a restricted OIDC/Google IdP and use of the JWT Authorization Grant flow; deployments without IdP restrictions have no check to bypass. The supplied CPE data covers Red Hat Build of Keycloak and Red Hat Single Sign-On 7 with wildcard versions, so exact affected builds are not enumerated.

Severity by source
AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N
Authenticated client is required so PR:L; the grant flow is reachable over the network with no user interaction and reliable triggering, yielding AV:N/AC:L/UI:N and low C/I impact from unauthorized token issuance.

CVSS VectorNVD
DescriptionNVD
A flaw was found in the JWT Authorization Grant implementation of the keycloak-services component. When an OIDC or Google identity provider is configured with specific login restrictions, such as claim filtering, these checks are correctly applied during standard browser logins but are skipped during the JWT-based grant flow. This allows an authenticated client to obtain access tokens for a user even if their identity provider claims should have blocked the login.
