DescriptionCVE.org
Summary
A pre-authentication remote code execution vulnerability affects OpenAM. The remote authentication endpoint (/authservice, PLL) accepts an XML element that names an arbitrary Java class, which the server then loads and instantiates without validation. On a default configuration this is reachable without authentication and allows an attacker to run code on the server.
Impact
Unauthenticated remote code execution / full server compromise on any OpenAM instance with default settings.
Affected
All releases up to and including 16.1.1 (the defect predates the Open Identity Platform fork).
Remediation
Upgrade to 16.1.2.
Interim mitigation
- Require the remote-auth security token by enabling
sunRemoteAuthSecurityEnabled (rejects unauthenticated /authservice calls).
- Restrict or block external network access to
/authserviceuntil patched.

Vulnerability discovered by Zhixi "Jace" Sun of ASM/VI at TikTok.
AnalysisAI
Remote code execution in OpenAM 16.1.1 and earlier allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code via the /authservice endpoint by crafting XML that injects a malicious Java class, leading to full server compromise. The vulnerability, classified as CWE-94 (Code Injection), is rated Critical (CVSS 9.8) and has a publicly available patch. No exploitation in the wild or public exploit code has been confirmed at this time.
