Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-06-26 17:32 – Updated: 2026-06-26 17:32Summary
Description
An LDAP Injection (CWE-90) vulnerability in the MSISDN authentication module allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to obtain an arbitrary OpenAM session without a password in the default trusted gateway configuration. This impacts OpenAM Community Edition through version 16.0.6. This issue was patched in version 16.1.1.
Impact
OpenAM deployments through version 16.0.6 that have MSISDN enabled are potentially affected. This enables a pre-authentication login bypass for any realm where an MSISDN module instance is enabled in an authentication chain and reachable through the trusted-gateway list, which allows all traffic by default. The request-supplied MSISDN value was concatenated directly into an LDAP search filter. The resulting OpenAM session is a normal authenticated session for the matched user.
Patch
This has been patched in OpenAM Community Edition version 16.1.1. Users are encouraged to update to the latest release.
