Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

Keycloak's keycloak-ldap-federation package, versions 26.3.0 up to 26.4.6 and earlier than 26.2.11, is vulnerable to untrusted Java deserialization. An authenticated realm administrator who points the LDAP User Federation configuration at a malicious LDAP server can trigger deserialization of untrusted Java objects. Upgrade to version 26.4.6 or 26.2.11. If upgrading is not possible, disable LDAP referrals in all LDAP user providers in all realms.
