Red Hat RoleContainerResource: insecure direct object reference
Medium4.9CVE-2026-16105 · Published Jul 31, 2026 · updated Sep 16, 2026
A flaw was found in the RoleContainerResource component of Keycloak. The issue occurs because certain name-based endpoints in the admin REST API do not properly enforce authorization checks when managing composite roles. This allows a delegated administrator with manage-realm permissions to remove essential child roles from built-in admin roles, potentially disrupting administrative functions within a realm.
