What happened

OpenAM (Open Identity Platform) is an open-source Identity and Access Management (IAM) platform derived from ForgeRock OpenAM, providing SSO, OAuth2, SAML, and OpenID Connect capabilities. It is widely deployed in enterprise environments as a central authentication gateway.

The /sessionservice endpoint, used for internal session management operations, does not sufficiently restrict the URLs that authenticated users may register for session event notifications. Under certain conditions, this may result in outbound server-side requests to attacker-controlled destinations, potentially exposing session-related data.

This behavior results in a server-side request forgery (SSRF) vulnerability, where an authenticated attacker can trigger outbound requests to arbitrary destinations.

About this data

This record was ingested from a data source. Retrieved: Oct 28, 2026, 16:55 UTC. Ingestion is not an independent editorial investigation.

A CISA KEV listing documents known exploitation, not necessarily a zero-day; absence from the catalog does not prove a vulnerability has never been exploited.

Technology tags indicate possible relevance, not verified exposure. Confirm the affected product, version, and configuration against your own inventory; KEVWire does not scan your systems.
