"The version of Keycloak installed on the remote host is 26.4.x prior to 26.4.15, or 26.6.x prior to 26.6.6. It is,
therefore, affected by a vulnerability:
- A flaw was found in the reset-credentials flow of the keycloak-services component, which is the core
engine for identity and access management. The issue allows an unauthenticated attacker to force the
password reset process for any user without needing to click the required email verification link. This
can result in the attacker gaining full control over target user accounts by directly setting new
credentials. (CVE-2026-18963)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
