Summary
Certain federation endpoints do not consistently apply output encoding when rendering user-supplied parameters into HTML responses. Under a non-default configuration used in some clustered deployments, this inconsistency can result in reflected XSS in the OpenAM origin without authentication.
AnalysisAI
Reflected cross-site scripting in the federation endpoints of OpenIdentityPlatform OpenAM allows an unauthenticated attacker to inject script into the OpenAM origin by luring a victim to a crafted URL, but only when a non-default clustering configuration (the SAML2 cluster cookie-hash-redirect path handled by FSUtils.postToTarget) is in use. The flaw is an output-encoding inconsistency (CWE-79) in the openam-federation-library package, fixed in version 16.1.1 via upstream commit 2f5e9bf4. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing was identified at time of analysis, and because execution runs in the trusted identity-provider origin, a successful attack can drive authenticated state-changing actions rather than merely steal a low-value session.
