Doc Text:	A flaw was found in org.keycloak/keycloak-model-storage-service. The KeycloakRealmImport custom resource substitutes placeholders within imported realm documents, potentially referencing environment variables. This substitution process allows for injection attacks when crafted realm documents are processed. An attacker can leverage this to inject malicious content during the realm import procedure. This can lead to unintended consequences within the Keycloak environment.	Story Points:	---

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-08-19 13:11:42 UTC

There is a potential security issue with the KeycloakRealmImport custom 
resource. Placeholders within the realm document, which may reference 
environment variables, will be replaced as part of the import process. 
That provides a way to inject into the realm sensitive environment 
variables, such as the database password. See
