    <description>&lt;p&gt;A flaw in Keycloak's reset-credentials flow (keycloak-services) lets an unauthenticated attacker force a password reset for any user without clicking the emailed verification link, then set new credentials and take over the account. Red Hat rates it CVSS 9.1. Fixes shipped in August (26.4.15, 26.6.6, 26.7.2); on Oct 21 a full proof-of-concept with check and takeover modes was published on Exploit-DB, so unpatched Keycloak instances should be upgraded now.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Status:&lt;/strong&gt; live · &lt;strong&gt;Patch:&lt;/strong&gt; patched · &lt;strong&gt;Fixed in:&lt;/strong&gt; 26.4.15, 26.6.6, 26.7.2, 26.8.0 and later&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Latest updates:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;2026-10-21: Exploit-DB publishes EDB-52699 &amp;quot;Keycloak 26.7.2 - Unauthenticated Account Takeover&amp;quot; by Abel Maldonado (Orevim): a PoC with a safe --check mode and a --set-password takeover mode, tested on Keycloak 26.6.2. (&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/52699&quot;&gt;source&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;2026-08-18: CVE-2026-18963 published with GitHub advisory GHSA-4gv3-mc9p-5wqc (critical); fixed in keycloak-services 26.4.15, 26.6.6 and 26.7.2, with Red Hat errata for Red Hat Build of Keycloak. (&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-4gv3-mc9p-5wqc&quot;&gt;source&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;
