GHSA-8CW5-3V42-MC6R
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-05-14 12:30 – Updated: 2026-05-14 12:30Comarch ERP Optima client connects to a database using a high privileged account regardless of an application account to which a user logs in. It is possible for a local attacker who controls the client process to dump it's memory, extract credentials and use them to gain a privileged access to the database. In order to exploit this vulnerability, the client application has to be already configured, but a user does not have to be logged in. This issue has been fixed in version 2026.4

GHSA-8HCX-P7M8-GC28
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-05-28 06:31 – Updated: 2026-07-01 21:20Duplicate Advisory
This advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-32h4-44jj-c5vx. This link is maintained to preserve external references.
Original Description
A flaw was found in Keycloak's Fine-Grained Admin Permissions (FGAPv2) feature. An administrator with limited client management permissions can exploit this vulnerability to assign any realm role, including highly privileged roles, to a client's scope mapping. This bypasses intended security controls, allowing the injected role to be projected into a user's authentication token when they access the modified client. This could lead to unauthorized privilege escalation within the Keycloak realm.

Mitigation MIT-1
Very carefully manage the setting, management, and handling of privileges. Explicitly manage trust zones in the software.
Mitigation MIT-17
Strategy: Environment Hardening
Run your code using the lowest privileges that are required to accomplish the necessary tasks [REF-76]. If possible, create isolated accounts with limited privileges that are only used for a single task. That way, a successful attack will not immediately give the attacker access to the rest of the software or its environment. For example, database applications rarely need to run as the database administrator, especially in day-to-day operations.
No CAPEC attack patterns related to this CWE.
