CVE-2026-16100 (GCVE-0-2026-16100)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2026-08-05 13:50 – Updated: 2026-08-31 15:01

Title

Keycloak-services: keycloak-services: unbounded metric cardinality in user event metrics via request-controlled error text

Summary

A flaw was found in the user-event metrics recording of Keycloak. When metrics are enabled, the system records raw error messages from failed account operations as Prometheus metric labels. Because these error messages can include user-supplied input like nonexistent client IDs, an authenticated user can create a massive number of unique metric entries, eventually exhausting system memory and causing the service to crash or become unavailable.

Severity

6.5 (Medium)

  "details": "A flaw was found in the user-event metrics recording of Keycloak. When metrics are enabled, the system records raw error messages from failed account operations as Prometheus metric labels. Because these error messages can include user-supplied input like nonexistent client IDs, an authenticated user can create a massive number of unique metric entries, eventually exhausting system memory and causing the service to crash or become unavailable.",
