Description

Open Access Management (OpenAM) prior to version 16.1.1 contains a vulnerability in its OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect authorization endpoints. The issue arises because user-supplied parameters are not sufficiently encoded before being rendered into HTML in the form_post response mode, allowing an unauthenticated attacker to induce a user to execute scripts in the OpenAM origin. This vulnerability is fixed in version 16.1.1.
