SCA: security update for org.openidentityplatform.openam:openam-auth-oauth2 (GHSA-gf57-4mp6-m85x)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 444008

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, the OAuth2
 authentication module updates an existing local account with profile attributes that can include
 userPassword and inetUserStatus, rewriting the password to the username and reactivating disabled
 accounts. The missing OAuth.removeRestrictedAccountUpdateAttributes filtering permits these credential and
 status fields to reach the account update. With account creation enabled, repeated OAuth login causes the
 default ldapService chain to accept the username as both identifier and password, allowing an
 unauthenticated attacker to take over the local account without interacting with the identity provider.
 The rewrite can be denied for usernames shorter than the configured minimum password length. This issue is
 fixed in version 16.1.1. (CVE-2026-46623)

Solution

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