CVE-2023-37471

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions OpenAM versions prior to 14.7.3

Description Open Access Management (OpenAM) is an access management solution that includes Authentication, SSO, Authorization, Federation, Entitlements and Web Services Security. OpenAM does not properly validate the signature of SAML responses received as part of the SAMLv1.x Single Sign-On process. Attackers can use this fact to impersonate any OpenAM user, including the administrator, by sending a specially crafted SAML response to the SAMLPOSTProfileServlet servlet.

Recommendations For versions prior to 14.7.3, update to OpenAM 14.7.3-SNAPSHOT or later. As a temporary workaround, consider commenting out the SAMLPOSTProfileServlet from the pom file or disabling SAML in OpenAM. Alternatively, disable the SAMLPOSTProfileServlet in web.xml to minimize the risk of exploitation.
