Summary

OpenIdentityPlatform OpenAM from 14.0.0 before 16.1.4 contains an information disclosure flaw (CWE-201) that exposes live session tokens through the notification WebSocket. An unauthenticated remote attacker can bypass the agent-only check through an unvalidated internal forward on legacy Liberty ID-FF endpoints and collect iPlanetDirectoryPro tokens. The stolen tokens allow the attacker to hijack user and administrator sessions.
