Machine-written summary

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

Keycloak (org.keycloak:keycloak-core) versions before 24.0.0 are vulnerable to denial of service. An attacker who can send repeated HTTP requests can exhaust server resources, because attributes per object are not limited and responses can contain long attribute values. Upgrade to Keycloak 24.0.0 or later, which adds the User Profile feature that addresses the issue.
