CVE-2026-18215

MEDIUM 6.8

Published 2026-07-31 · Last modified 2026-07-31

Keycloak provides a way to let users log in using Microsoft accounts while restricting access to a specific organization (tenant). A flaw was discovered where this restriction is ignored when using the token exchange feature. This means an attacker with a valid Microsoft token from a completely different organization could gain access to the Keycloak realm, potentially accessing sensitive data or performing unauthorized actions.
