AI-suggested

Upgrade OpenAM to version 16.1.2 or later, where this vulnerability is fixed. No other mitigations are indicated or effective since the vulnerability is in the deserialization logic and the fix is official. Patch status is confirmed by the vendor advisory indicating the issue is resolved in 16.1.2.

Description

CVE-2026-62263 is a critical deserialization vulnerability in OpenIdentityPlatform's OpenAM prior to version 16.1.2. The flaw arises because the WebAuthnAuthentication.deserialize method applies an ObjectInputFilter that insufficiently restricts serialized objects beyond the root AuthenticatorImpl object, allowing nested malicious gadget classes to execute code during deserialization. This vulnerability enables a pre-authentication attacker to bypass previous mitigations by supplying a crafted userHandle with a valid root object but malicious nested payloads. The issue is resolved in OpenAM version 16.1.2.
