source listed< 16.1.1
## Summary **Description** A Deserialization of Untrusted Data (CWE-502) issue exists in OpenAM's Push Notification SNS callback resource. The REST route that handles SNS push messages is mounted with anonymous access and, when a supplied message identifier has expired from the in-memory dispatcher, falls back to a CTS-stored predicate blob whose top-level keys are treated as Java class names and passed to Class.forName(...) before attacker-controlled JSON is deserialized via Jackson. This impacts OpenAM Community Edition through version 16.0.6. This issue was patched in version 16.1.1. Arbitrary attacker-controlled code execution was not confirmed on tested stock classpaths for the latest release, but the flaw yields a reliable class-loading and Jackson-construction primitive whose impacts include remotely triggerable process execution, file writes, and DoS, depending on the deployment's classpath and environment. ## Impact OpenAM Community Edition deployments through version 16.0.6 that enable the Push Notification Service with SNS callbacks are potentially affected. While the callback route itself is anonymous, the planting step requires a low-privileged user who can start P
03 / Response
What to do next
- investigate
Identify the exact component and deployed version, examine the linked publisher’s conditions, and retain evidence of any mitigation.
Confirm current vendor support, compatibility and deployment evidence. This report has not tested a fix in your system. FIRST EPSS
A fixed release is not deployment evidence.
Check current vendor support and compatibility. After making a change, verify the deployed build and relevant runtime conditions. Keep the evidence, owner and time. An updated lockfile alone does not prove what is running.
