Description

Open Access Management (OpenAM) versions prior to 16.1.1 contain a vulnerability in the IdentityResourceV1.queryCollection() method where the _queryId parameter is passed without proper escaping. This allows an authenticated attacker to inject LDAP metacharacters, leading to user enumeration and blind LDAP injection. The issue is resolved in version 16.1.1.
