Source description

As published by the source; long descriptions are shortened.

A flaw was found in the Keycloak server during refresh token processing, specifically in the TokenManager class responsible for enforcing refresh token reuse policies. When strict refresh token rotation is enabled, the validation and update of refresh token usage are not performed atomically. This allows concurrent refresh requests to bypass single-use enforcement and issue multiple access tokens from the same refresh token. As a result, Keycloak’s refresh token rotation hardening can be undermined.

# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2026-1035

Advisory: Keycloak does not validate and update refresh token usage atomically
IDs: CVE-2026-1035, GHSA-m2w5-7xhv-w6fh
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2026-1035 (revision 1, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 16:45 UTC)
Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected.
Severity: Low (CVSS 3.1)
Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV.
Vendor response: Vendor response not established. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- Maven org.keycloak:keycloak-services: affected <= 26.2.5

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- Maven org.keycloak:keycloak-services: check the installed version with your package manager.

## Supported action
No complete vendor fix is recorded. Follow the primary source's mitigation guidance and check this record again before closing anything.

## Required regression checks
- Run the test suite and a production build.
- Exercise the features that depend on org.keycloak:keycloak-services.
- Repeat the inspection and confirm that only fixed versions remain installed.

## Rollback considerations
- Keep the previous lockfile and deployment artifact. Rolling back reinstates the vulnerable version, so apply any documented mitigation while you fix forward.

## Unresolved questions
- Which deployments run an affected version?
- Exploitation status can change. Check again before lowering the priority.
- Mark the work resolved only after the fixed version is verified in production.

## Sources
- Verified: https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-m2w5-7xhv-w6fh (GitHub-reviewed advisory GHSA-m2w5-7xhv-w6fh lists affected ranges: Maven org.keycloak:keycloak-services >=0 <=26.2.5)
