How to fix?

Upgrade org.keycloak:keycloak-services to version 26.6.3 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 Implementation of Authentication Algorithm through the TokenManager and OIDC endpoint token checks in the access token introspection, refresh token, and userinfo paths. An attacker can keep using a token after a realm-level not-before event by presenting it to introspection, refresh, or userinfo requests when client-level not-before values are also in play. This lets revoked or otherwise invalidated tokens remain accepted, allowing continued access to protected account, userinfo, and token-refresh operations until the token expires.
