Solution

No solution given by the vendor.


Workaround

To mitigate this issue, restrict administrative access to Keycloak instances. Ensure that only trusted and authorized personnel have the necessary privileges to configure client settings, including the backchannel_client_notification_endpoint. This limits the ability of an attacker to manipulate the endpoint for SSRF attacks.
