Upgrade org.keycloak:keycloak-services to this version or later

Description

Keycloak allows the use of email as a username and doesn't check that an account with this email already exists. That could lead to the unability to reset/login with email for the user. This is caused by usernames being evaluated before emails.

How to fix

Move to the fixed version or later with your package manager, update the lockfile, and run your tests. If the package only arrives through another dependency, upgrade that dependency first. If none of its releases pulls a fixed version yet, force the version with your package manager's override.

org.keycloak:keycloak-services Maven → 24.0.1
