OpenAM: Pre-auth Reflected XSS in OAuth2 / OIDC response_mode=form_post via state parameter (FormPostResponse.ftl)

Published Sep 15, 2026 · Updated Sep 17, 2026 · Assigned by GitHub_M

Description

Open Access Management (OpenAM) is an access management solution. Prior to 16.1.1, the OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect authorization endpoint does not sufficiently encode user-supplied parameters before FormPostResponse.ftl and checkSession.ftl render them into HTML for the form_post response mode. An unauthenticated attacker can induce a user to open a crafted authorization request and execute script in the OpenAM origin. This issue is fixed in version 16.1.1.
