How to fix?

Upgrade org.keycloak:keycloak-services to version 26.5.3 or higher.

Overview

org.keycloak:keycloak-services is an open source identity and access management solution for modern applications and services.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Incorrect Privilege Assignment due to insufficient ownership verification in the UserManagedPermissionService (UMA Protection API). An attacker can gain unauthorized access to modify or delete authorization rules for resources they do not own by updating or deleting a policy associated with multiple resources, where the authorization check only validates ownership of the first resource in the list.
