NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream rh-sso7-keycloak-server package and not the rh-sso7-keycloak-server package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

Red Hat Keycloak before version 2.4.0 did not correctly check permissions when handling service account user deletion requests sent to the rest server. An attacker with service account authentication could use this flaw to bypass normal permissions and delete users in a separate realm.
