AI-suggested

Upgrade OpenAM to version 16.1.4 or later, where this vulnerability is fixed. No other mitigations are indicated by the vendor advisory.

Description

OpenAM versions prior to 16.1.4 contain a privilege management vulnerability that allows anonymous attackers to bypass attribute restrictions during self-registration. This flaw enables attackers to assign themselves to administrative groups via legacy self-service REST endpoints or the User Self-Service flow, resulting in full administrative control over OpenAM.
