Summary
Red Hat build of Keycloak 26.6 is affected by a flaw in the login theme rendering component. A bypass of the input sanitization filter (CWE-79) lets an administrator store malicious scripts in display fields. These scripts run in the browsers of users who visit the login page, which can expose data or interfere with sessions. The attacker needs administrator privileges.

Description from the CNA
A flaw was found in the login theme rendering component of Keycloak. The issue occurs because the security filter responsible for cleaning user input can be bypassed, allowing a realm administrator to store malicious scripts in display fields. This could result in unauthorized JavaScript execution in the browsers of users visiting the login page, potentially leading to data exposure or session interference.
