Summary
OpenText Advanced Authentication Server from 6.4.0.0 through 6.4.3.8, from 6.5.0.0 through 6.5.0.10, and from 6.6.0.0 through 6.6.1.0 is affected. The server accepts untrusted data alongside trusted data (CWE-349), so it trusts a list of completed authentication methods that the attacker controls. An unauthenticated remote attacker can reach functionality that access control lists should restrict, which bypasses logon.
