Short explanation
OpenAM versions prior to 16.1.4 do not enforce the Valid Creation Attributes list during self‑registration, allowing anonymous attackers to set restricted attributes such as group membership, join administrative groups and obtain full administrative control. CVSS scores are high (9.3‑9.8) and patch status is not verified in official sources (UNKNOWN).
Compromise of an identity and access management platform endangers all federated services and user accounts.
What should be done?
- Apply the vendor advisory when a patch is released
- Restrict or disable self‑registration functionality
- Enforce strict validation of creation attributes
- Implement monitoring and alerts for unauthorized registrations
- Upgrade to OpenAM 16.1.4 or later
- Conduct regular security reviews of the identity platform

Chain of evidence and sources
OpenAM 16.1.4 öncesi sürümler, self‑registration sırasında sınırlı özniteliklerin ayarlanmasına izin vererek anonim saldırganların yönetici gruplarına katılmasını sağlar (S0, S1).
Resmî kaynaklarda yama durumu doğrulanamadı; yama durumu UNKNOWN olarak rapor edilmiştir (S0).
CVSS baz skorları kaynaklar arasında (9.3 ve 9.8) farklılık gösteriyor, bu da kritik seviyenin kesinliğini etkileyebilir (S1, S2).
Show the technical text from the sources
OpenAM before 16.1.4 fails to enforce the Valid Creation Attributes list during self-registration, allowing anonymous attackers to set restricted attributes including group membership. Attackers can register through the legacy self-service REST endpoint or User Self-Service flow to join administrative groups and gain full administrative control of OpenAM.
