NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream keycloak-advanced-compat package and not the keycloak-advanced-compat package as distributed by Minimos. See How to fix? for Minimos:latest relevant fixed versions and status.

A flaw was found in Keycloak, an open-source identity and access management solution. When a user account is temporarily locked due to repeated failed login attempts, an attacker with valid client credentials can exploit the Client-Initiated Backchannel Authentication (CIBA) flow to bypass this brute-force protection. This allows continued authentication attempts and token issuance even when the account should be locked, potentially enabling further unauthorized access attempts.
