Impact Analysis

This vulnerability allows unauthorized users to obtain information about which organizations other users belong to within Keycloak.

While it does not allow modification or deletion of data, it results in a confidentiality breach by exposing potentially sensitive organizational membership information.

Such information disclosure could be leveraged for further targeted attacks or social engineering.
