AI-suggested

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

Description

OpenAM versions before 16.1.4 have an authentication bypass vulnerability in the SAML v2.0 service provider. This flaw allows unauthenticated remote attackers to submit forged unsigned assertions via ECP (PAOS) and HTTP-Artifact bindings when WantAssertionsSigned is false, enabling them to impersonate any mapped user, including administrators, and hijack single sign-on sessions.
