REDHAT-BUG-2482462
Summary Under FGAPv2, the ScopeMappedResource and ScopeMappedClientResource write endpoints (add and delete scope mappings) do not call requireMapClientScope per role. An admin holding only fine-grained manage on a single client can attach any realm role — including realm-admin — to that client's scope mapping, bypassing the MAP_ROLE_CLIENT_SCOPE permission boundary. When a privileged user subsequently authenticates through the modified client, the injected role is projected into the issued token. Requirements to exploit FGAPv2 enabled on the realm (adminPermissionsEnabled=true) Attacker holds fine-grained manage permission on at least one client A user holding the targeted role (e.g. realm-admin) must authenticate through the modified client *Component affected:* org.keycloak.services.resources.admin *Version affected:* All versions with FGAPv2 support *Patch available:* no *File issue trackers?* Yes *CVSS:* CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:H/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:N (7.3 High) *Embargo:* no *Acknowledgement:* Andrej Tomci Github - @andrejtomci Steps to reproduce 1. Enable FGAPv2 on the realm (adminPermissionsEnabled=true) 2. Create a delegated admin with fine-grained manage on a single client — no global manage-clients, no MAP_ROLE_CLIENT_SCOPE on any privileged role 3. As the delegated admin, call POST /admin/realms/{r}/clients/{uuid}/scope-mappings/realm with realm-admin in the roles body — the request succeeds despite no MAP_ROLE_CLIENT_SCOPE permission 4. Optionally flip fullScopeAllowed=true on the client via PUT /admin/realms/{r}/clients/{uuid} 5. Authenticate as a user holding realm-admin through the modified client 6. Inspect the issued token — realm-admin is projected into the token via the injected scope mapping
