Description
When Keycloak is started with `--features-disabled=account,account-api`, the Account REST API is only partially disabled. Five endpoints under the versioned path `/account/v1alpha1` remain fully functional — including both read and write operations — because they lack the `checkAccountApiEnabled()` gate that correctly blocks four other endpoints in the same REST service class. The user needs to have permissions to use the API.

What to do
Workaround: To reduce the attack surface, restrict network access to the Keycloak server's administration and API endpoints to trusted networks or hosts. This limits the ability of unauthorized users to interact with the server and potentially exploit this improper access control vulnerability. If the Keycloak service is reloaded or restarted, ensure that firewall rules or network access controls remain in effect.
