Summary
Red Hat Build of Keycloak is affected by a flaw in the User Session Note mapper. The mapper does not check whether a session note holds federated access tokens from external identity providers (CWE-200). A delegated client administrator can copy a user's upstream bearer tokens into tokens issued to their managed application, which can lead to unauthorized access to the user's data on external platforms.

Description from the CNA
A flaw was found in the User Session Note mapper of the Keycloak identity and access management solution. The issue occurs because the mapper does not validate whether a requested session note contains sensitive internal credentials, such as federated access tokens from external identity providers. This allows a delegated client administrator to leak a user's upstream bearer tokens into the tokens issued to their managed application, potentially leading to unauthorized access to the user's data on external platforms.
