OpenAM before 16.1.4 SAML Authentication Bypass via Unsigned Assertions

Assigner: VulnCheck
Reserved: 06.11.2026 Published: 08.11.2026 Updated: 08.11.2026

OpenAM before 16.1.4 contains an authentication bypass vulnerability in its SAML v2.0 service provider that accepts unsigned assertions on the ECP (PAOS) and HTTP-Artifact bindings when WantAssertionsSigned is false. Unauthenticated remote attackers can submit forged assertions to obtain sessions as any mapped user, including administrators, and hijack single sign-on to dependent applications.
