SCA: security update for org.openidentityplatform.openam:openam-oauth2 (GHSA-4v2w-2wqp-mc85)

critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 444111

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - Open Access Management (OpenAM) is an access management solution. Prior to 16.1.1,
 AuthorizationCodeGrantTypeHandler requires a code_verifier only when the realm-wide codeVerifierEnforced
 setting is enabled, even when an authorization code stores a code_challenge. Because that setting is
 disabled by default, an attacker who intercepts a PKCE-protected authorization code can omit code_verifier
 and redeem the code, while an explicitly incorrect verifier is rejected. Public clients are directly
 affected, and confidential-client exploitation additionally requires client authentication material or
 another redemption context. This issue is fixed in version 16.1.1. (CVE-2026-48717)

Solution

Update the org.openidentityplatform.openam:openam-oauth2 library and its related packages to version 16.1.1 or later.
