## Summary

Okta Access Gateway is affected by an authentication source verification flaw that lets a user who already has an active session change the authentication source during sign-on. This could allow that user to obtain a SAML assertion that grants access to the Admin Console.

Model-written summary (anthropic/claude-haiku-5.5). Verify details against the original sources.

## Affected

- Okta Okta Access Gateway: fixed in 2026.10.2

## Description

Okta Access Gateway (OAG) does not validate the selected authentication source during sign-on. An authenticated user with an active session can modify the authentication source parameter, which may generate a SAML assertion granting access to the Admin Console.
