Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
OpenAM (org.openidentityplatform.openam:openam-oauth2) versions before 16.1.1 are vulnerable to an authentication flaw in the OAuth2 private_key_jwt client authentication path, where keys are published via jwks_uri. An attacker who holds any registered OAuth2 client, including one from open dynamic client registration where enabled, can mint access tokens in the name of another client without its signing key, in any realm hosted by the OpenAM process. Upgrade to version 16.1.1.
