Summary

OpenAM from 14.5.1 before 16.1.4 contains a cross-site request forgery flaw (CWE-352) in the OAuth 2.0 device authorization flow. When consent is skipped for implied-consent clients, an attacker can approve device codes. The attacker lures a logged-in user to a crafted page, which yields access and ID tokens that call APIs as that user.
