What is CVE-2026-8922?

A flaw was identified in Keycloak that impacts the OpenID Connect (OIDC) Introspection capability. When realm-level and client-level 'notBefore' revocation policies are set, the OIDC feature improperly fails to enforce the realm-level policy. This oversight allows tokens, which should have been invalidated, to remain operational. Consequently, this can lead to unauthorized access or enable ongoing session validity, thereby compromising the security of identity and access management systems that depend on Keycloak.
