Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
Keycloak (Maven package org.keycloak:keycloak-services, versions up to 26.4.7, 26.5.0 through 26.6.4) is affected. An attacker who holds valid client credentials can use the CIBA flow to get past brute-force lockout on a temporarily locked user account, continuing login attempts and token issuance. No fixed version is listed, and the source gives few details on workarounds.
