CVE-2026-9796MEDIUMCVSS 6.5

Keycloak has a Time-of-check Time-of-use (TOCTOU) Race Condition

Published May 28, 2026·Updated Aug 19, 2026

NVD Description

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.
