Vulnerability in org.keycloak:keycloak-ldap-federation (CVE-2026-9801)

Summary

Vulnerability in org.keycloak:keycloak-ldap-federation (CVE-2026-9801). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure. Mitigation: upgrade to 26.6.3 or later.

Original description

The description as published by the source.

A flaw was found in Keycloak. A remote attacker with high privileges, such as a realm administrator configuring a malicious Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) server or an attacker compromising an upstream LDAP server, could exploit this vulnerability. By sending a malformed LDAP password policy response during a password authentication request, the attacker can trigger an OutOfMemoryError. This causes the Keycloak Java Virtual Machine (JVM) to terminate, leading to a denial of service (DoS) for all realms on the affected node.
