Does this matter?

High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.92%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.

It was found that Keycloak oauth would permit an authenticated resource to obtain an access/refresh token pair from the authentication server, permitting indefinite usage in the case of permission revocation.
