CVE-2026-18963 is a critical flaw in the reset-credentials flow of the keycloak-services component in Red Hat Build of Keycloak. The vulnerability allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to trigger and complete the password reset process for arbitrary users without the intended email verification step being completed. In the vulnerable flow, the attacker can bypass the requirement for the victim to click the password-reset confirmation link and directly set new credentials on the target account. The issue affects the identity and access management functionality provided by keycloak-services and results in a broken password recovery mechanism that fails to enforce proof of control over the registered email address.
