CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedOpenAM's SessionRequestHandler prior to version 16.1.1 is vulnerable due to a lack of ownership and privilege checks, allowing low-privileged authenticated users to access and retrieve active session credentials of other users, including those with higher privileges. This flaw can lead to session hijacking, posing a significant risk to user accounts and sensitive data. Organizations using affected versions of OpenAM should prioritize upgrading to version 16.1.1 to mitigate this high-severity vulnerability.

Original NVD Description
Open Access Management (OpenAM) is an access management solution. Prior to 16.1.1, SessionRequestHandler in the session management endpoint does not enforce ownership or privilege checks when a low-privileged authenticated user queries session information in deployments using stateful session storage. A requester who knows a target identity identifier can retrieve another user's active session credentials, including credentials for a more privileged account, and use them to hijack that session. This issue is fixed in version 16.1.1.
