What is CVE-2026-7500?
CVE-2026-7500 is a medium-severity missing authorization vulnerability in Redhat Build of Keycloak, published on 30 Apr 2026. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.
Official description
When Keycloak is started with `--features-disabled=account,account-api`, the Account REST API is only partially disabled. Five endpoints under the versioned path `/account/v1alpha1` remain fully functional — including both read and write operations — because they lack the `checkAccountApiEnabled()` gate that correctly blocks four other endpoints in the same REST service class. The user needs to have permissions to use the API.
Weakness: CWE-425
