medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 444272

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - A flaw was found in Keycloak. An authenticated administrator with the `manage-clients` role can exploit a
 Time-of-check to time-of-use (TOCTOU) vulnerability in the name-based admin role checks. This allows the
 attacker to escalate their privileges to `realm-admin` for all users within the realm, granting them
 extensive control over the system. The composite role relationship persists even after the attacker's own
 permissions are revoked and across system reboots. (CVE-2026-9796)

Solution

Update the org.keycloak:keycloak-server library and its related packages to version 26.6.4 or later.
