Go to dashboardOpenAM Community Edition's session management endpoint does not check ownership or privilege when querying sessions, so any logged-in user can retrieve raw session credentials of other accounts. Taking over a higher-privileged session can lead to administrative actions on the platform.

OpenAM Community Edition deployments through 16.0.6 that use stateful session storage and expose the session management endpoint. The sources say exploitation needs a valid low-privilege session and knowledge of a target user's identifier, which may be obtainable through normal platform use. Deployments on patched versions, or not exposing that endpoint with stateful sessions, are not described as affected.

Description
An insufficient authorization (CWE-285) and information exposure (CWE-200) issue in OpenAM's session management endpoint allows a low-privileged authenticated user to retrieve active session credentials belonging to other users, including those with higher privileges. This affects OpenAM Community Edition through version 16.0.6 and was patched in version 16.1.1.
This may be related to CVE-2021-4201, a similar issue patched in ForgeRock Access Management, a separate product sharing a common codebase ancestry.
OpenAM Community Edition deployments through version 16.0.6 using stateful session storage and exposing the session management endpoint are potentially affected. The endpoint does not enforce ownership or privilege checks when querying session information, meaning an authenticated user may retrieve active session credentials for arbitrary users. Successful exploitation requires a valid low-privilege session and knowledge of a target user's identity identifier, which may be obtainable through normal platform functionality.
If credentials belonging to a highly privileged account are obtained, this could enable further administrative actions within the platform
This has been patched in OpenAM Community Edition version 16.1.1. Users are encouraged to update to the latest release.
