CVE-2026-15572

HIGH CVSS 3.1: 8.8
Updated Aug 05, 2026
Keycloak
Parameter Value
CVSS 8.8 (HIGH)
Type CWE-843 (Type Confusion)
Vendor Keycloak
Public PoC No

A flaw was found in Keycloak's Dynamic Client Registration (DCR) security policy management. The "Allowed Protocol Mapper Types" policy, which restricts which types of data mappers a client can use, fails to re-validate the mapper type during a client update if the mapper's configuration remains unchanged. An attacker with client registration privileges can exploit this by first registering an allowed mapper type with a malicious configuration and then swapping it for a restricted, high-privilege mapper type (such as one that hardcodes administrative roles).

This allows the attacker to gain full administrative access to the Keycloak realm.
