Summary

Red Hat Build of Keycloak exposes the active primary secret of confidential clients through its installation provider and client registration endpoints, which is a case of exposure of sensitive information (CWE-200). An administrator holding only the read-only view-clients role can retrieve these secrets, although access should be restricted. The exposed secret lets an attacker impersonate the client and gain the permissions of its associated service account.

Description from the CNA

A flaw was found in the installation provider and client registration endpoints of the Keycloak identity management service. A realm administrator with only the read-only view-clients role can access the active primary secret of any confidential client, which should normally be restricted. This exposed secret can be used to impersonate the client and gain unauthorized access to its associated service account permissions.
