NewCVE-2026-18963 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade org.keycloak:keycloak-services to version 26.7.2 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 Weak Password Recovery Mechanism for Forgotten Password in the ResetCredentialEmail.action() flow in services/src/main/java/org/keycloak/authentication/authenticators/resetcred/ResetCredentialEmail.java. An attacker can force the password reset process for any user by sending a crafted reset-credentials request that reaches the action step without the required email verification link or action token. This lets an unauthenticated attacker advance the authentication session into the password update phase and set new credentials for the target account, resulting in account takeover and loss of control over the user’s account.
