CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedOpenAM versions prior to 16.1.1 are vulnerable to unauthenticated remote requests that can write persistent entries into a user's Liberty Discovery store, bypassing LDAP and identity access control lists. This critical vulnerability allows attackers to manipulate service-routing and security-mechanism records, potentially leading to unauthorized access and data breaches. Organizations utilizing OpenAM for access management should prioritize upgrading to version 16.1.1 to mitigate this risk.

Original NVD Description
Open Access Management (OpenAM) is an access management solution. Prior to 16.1.1, the Liberty Web Services SOAP receiver permits unauthenticated remote requests to write persistent entries through SOAPReceiver and DiscoveryService into a user's Liberty Discovery store and the shared root-realm Discovery branch. The server-side handlers bypass requester LDAP and identity ACLs, and the global path uses an internal administrative token. Deployments that consume Liberty discovery data can subsequently use manipulated service-routing or security-mechanism records. This issue is fixed in version 16.1.1.
