Description
OpenAM before 16.1.4 contains a server-side request forgery vulnerability that allows administrators, including delegated realm administrators, to make the server fetch arbitrary URLs through federation configuration wizard metadata URLs. Attackers can enter metadata or OpenID Connect discovery URLs pointing to internal hosts or cloud metadata endpoints to probe the internal network and read partial responses.

AI Analysis

Impact

OpenAM versions prior to 16.1.4 allow administrators, including delegated realm administrators, to control federation configuration wizard metadata URLs so that the server fetches arbitrary URLs. This server-side request forgery can be used to probe internal hosts or cloud metadata services, returning partial responses that may reveal sensitive information about the internal network. The vulnerability does not give the ability to execute arbitrary code but permits internal network enumeration and limited disclosure of internal configuration data.

Affected Systems

OpenIdentityPlatform’s OpenAM software versions earlier than 16.1.4 are affected.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 5.1 indicates moderate severity. The exploit is only possible for users with administrative authority or delegated realm administration rights. No EPSS data is available, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, suggesting that public exploitation is not currently documented. However, an attacker who can gain an administrative role can use the vulnerability to access internal endpoints and gather useful information.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade to OpenAM 16.1.4 or later to remove the SSRF flaw.
  • Disable or restrict the federation configuration wizard feature and block outbound HTTP requests to internal endpoints for administrative accounts that do not need it.
  • Enforce strict role‑based access control so that only trusted administrators can configure metadata URLs; avoid granting delegation that enables federation configuration to untrusted users.
