CVE-2026-94213 · Severity: medium · CVSS 4.9 · Published 2026-09-21

Keycloak is an open-source identity and access management platform used to control who can access applications and data. A flaw in its policy evaluation feature allows delegated administrators with limited permissions to view full user profiles, email addresses, and security roles they should not have access to. An attacker with administrative privileges on a specific client or resource could exploit this to extract sensitive user information from the entire organization.
