SCA: security update for org.openidentityplatform.openam:openam-core (GHSA-wg5r-wc3x-39vc)

critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 445606

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 16.1.2, the pre-authentication
 /authservice PLL endpoint accepts a CustomCallback XML element whose className value selects an arbitrary
 Java class for AuthXMLUtils to load and instantiate without verifying that it implements
 DSAMECallbackInterface. Default configurations expose the endpoint without authentication, allowing
 attacker-controlled class initialization and unsafe deserialization of a serialized Subject value to
 execute code in the server process. Enabling sunRemoteAuthSecurityEnabled does not prevent the vulnerable
 parsing and instantiation because its check occurs later. This issue is fixed in version 16.1.2.
 (CVE-2026-62379)

Solution

Update the org.openidentityplatform.openam:openam-core library and its related packages to version 16.1.2 or later.
