Technical details

The UserManagedPermissionService in Keycloak's UMA Protection API fails to validate the resourceType field during policy creation, allowing an authenticated attacker to create policies that apply to resources owned by other users. This is a missing authorization check (CWE-862) requiring low privileges and network access with no user interaction. Successful exploitation results in unauthorized read and modification of other users' resources within the realm.
