CVE-2026-79652
This allows an authenticated attacker with valid client credentials and a trusted identity provider assertion to bypass the consent requirement and obtain unauthorized access to a user account at a consent-gated client.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.34%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
A flaw was found in the JWT Bearer authorization grant implementation within the keycloak-services component of Red Hat Build of Keycloak. This component handles various OAuth2 and OpenID Connect grant types used for issuing access tokens. The issue occurs because the JWT Bearer grant fails to check if a client requires user consent before issuing a token. This allows an authenticated attacker with valid client credentials and a trusted identity provider assertion to bypass the consent requirement and obtain unauthorized access to a user account at a consent-gated client.
