Summary

Keycloak's login-failure storage component, as used by Keycloak Services, can be pushed into a loop on MySQL or MariaDB multi-node deployments when many failed logins for the same account arrive at once. An attacker can do this remotely, without logging in, and it locks that user's record so legitimate logins fail and some failed attempts are not counted by brute-force protection.

Written by anthropic/claude-haiku-5.5 from the sources below. Verify against them.

Read the original description

A flaw was found in the login-failure storage component of Keycloak, the identity and access management solution. This issue specifically affects deployments using MySQL or MariaDB databases in a multi-node configuration. When multiple failed login attempts occur simultaneously for the same account, a synchronization error can cause the system to enter a repetitive loop that locks the user's record in the database. This results in legitimate login attempts for that user being blocked and failing with an error. Furthermore, because some failures are not correctly recorded during this loop, the system's brute-force protection may not accurately count all failed attempts.

Check your systems with an agent

Paste this into a coding or ops agent. It checks your systems read-only and reports a table per asset.

Check whether my systems are affected by CVE-2026-112201 (Keycloak-services: keycloak-services: login-failure upsert trusts mysql/mariadb affected-row count), using the cve.now data below.

Rules: work read-only. Do not run exploit code, proof-of-concept scripts or scanners that send attack payloads, and do not change any configuration, package, image or deployment. Report findings only.

What cve.now has for CVE-2026-112201 (entry last updated 2026-11-11):
Affected:
- Keycloak keycloak-services: from 26.8.0, through 26.8.1
- Red Hat Red Hat Build of Keycloak: version range not reported
- Red Hat Red Hat Build of Keycloak: version range not reported
- Red Hat Red Hat Single Sign-On 7: version range not reported
Fixed versions: none listed yet.
Setup: unknown whether the bug needs a non-default feature or setting. Check the advisory.
CISA KEV: CVE-2026-112201 is not listed as of cve.now's last read.
This KEV status is for CVE-2026-112201 only. If you also check another CVE, look up its own KEV status; never assume it from this one.

How to check:
- Installed software: check what is actually running, not what a repo declares. Read the version from each host, container image and Kubernetes node (the binary's version output, the OS package database, image layers), and check whether the conditions above hold there. Distribution packages may carry a backported fix under an older version number; confirm against the distribution's own advisory.

Verify against the linked advisories before concluding, and cite the date you read each one:
- https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2555463
- https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2026-112201
Do not conclude an asset is unaffected unless you checked it and the evidence covers both its version and the conditions above. If you could not check something, mark it unknown and say what is missing.

Report a table with one row per asset and these columns: Asset | Version or build | Status (affected, fixed, not applicable, unknown) | Compensating controls | Exposure (internet-facing, internal, none) | Evidence | Next action.
