"The version of Keycloak installed on the remote host is prior to 26.3.0. It is, 
therefore, affected by a phishing vulnerability. A flaw was found in Keycloak. When an authenticated attacker attempts 
to merge accounts with another existing account during an identity provider (IdP) login, the attacker will subsequently 
be prompted to 'review profile' information. This vulnerability allows the attacker to modify their email address to
match that of a victim's account, triggering a verification email sent to the victim's email address. The attacker's email 
address is not present in the verification email content, making it a potential phishing opportunity. If the victim clicks 
the verification link, the attacker can gain access to the victim's account.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
