SCA: security update for org.openidentityplatform.openam:openam-auth-webauthn (GHSA-6c99-87fr-6q7r)

critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 443885

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, WebAuthnAuthentication
 loads a serialized AuthenticatorImpl object graph from the configured userAttribute through
 loadAuthenticators without an ObjectInputFilter. Exploitation requires the WebAuthn flow to be reachable
 and an attacker to have previously written controlled data to that attribute through delegated
 administration, provisioning, directory access, legacy REST self-registration, or unsafe configuration.
 When those non-default conditions hold, the data is deserialized before assertion verification and can
 execute a classpath gadget in the application server process. This issue is fixed in version 16.1.1.
 (CVE-2026-45051)

Solution

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