CVE-2026-37980 is a medium-severity cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in org.keycloak:keycloak-services (maven), affecting versions <= 26.5.5. No fixed version is listed yet.
A flaw was found in Keycloak, specifically in the organization selection login page. A remote attacker with manage-realm or manage-organizations administrative privileges can exploit a Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability. This flaw occurs because the organization.alias is placed into an inline JavaScript onclick handler, allowing a crafted JavaScript payload to execute in a user's browser when they view the login page. Successful exploitation enables arbitrary JavaScript execution, potentially leading to session theft, unauthorized account actions, or further attacks against users of the affected realm.
Untrusted input is rendered as active markup in a victim's browser, which can run script in their session. Typical impact: session or credential theft, and actions taken as the user.
CVE-2026-37980 has a CVSS score of 6.9 (Medium). The vector is network-reachable, high privileges required, and user interaction required. A CVSS score reflects the worst-case severity of the vulnerability, not your specific exposure. Whether this affects your application depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable in your environment.
No fixed version is listed yet, so configuration controls and monitoring matter more in the interim.

org.keycloak:keycloak-services (<= 26.5.5)Severity tells you how bad this could be in the worst case. It does not tell you whether you are exposed. Exploitability and impact are functions of runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A vulnerable package can sit in your dependency tree and never run.
Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter instead of chasing every advisory.
Kodem's runtime-powered SCA identifies whether CVE-2026-37980 is reachable in your applications. Explore open-source security for your team.

Exploitability and impact are not fixed properties of a CVE. They depend on runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A high CVSS score on a dependency that never runs is not the same as real risk. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter.
