CERT-FR issued an advisory regarding a vulnerability in Keycloak, the open-source identity and access management platform, affecting versions 26.7.x prior to 26.7.4. The flaw allows an attacker to bypass the security policy, though the advisory does not detail the exact mechanism or the attacker's required access level. This was published alongside an upstream GitHub Security Advisory (GHSA-xpwp-2pcm-8xq3) and assigned CVE-2026-90997.
No evidence of active exploitation in the wild is mentioned in the bulletin. Defenders running affected Keycloak versions should consult the vendor advisory and CVE record for patch details and upgrade to 26.7.4 or later. Given Keycloak's role as an IAM/SSO provider, a security policy bypass could have downstream implications for authentication and authorization controls across dependent applications, warranting prompt patching even absent confirmed exploitation.
