How to fix?

Upgrade org.keycloak:keycloak-services to version 26.7.1 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 Origin Validation Error in the IdP-initiated broker endpoint. An attacker who controls a linked upstream SAML identity can send a signed IdP-initiated SSO response to /realms/{realm}/broker/{alias}/endpoint/clients/{client_id} and log in as the associated local user even when that identity provider is configured for account linking only.
