Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
Keycloak packages org.keycloak:keycloak-server-spi-private and org.keycloak:keycloak-services before 26.6.3 are vulnerable. An authenticated user with low privileges can send an oversized subject_token JWT to the token endpoint, which is silently dropped so the system falls back to client credentials, letting the user gain the permissions of the client's service account. Upgrade both packages to 26.6.3.
