Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

OpenAM's openam-oauth2 Maven package, versions 13.0.0 up to 16.1.1 (exclusive), is affected by a reflected cross-site scripting flaw in the OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect authorization endpoint when the form_post response mode is used. The source gives few details beyond the fact that user-supplied parameters are not sufficiently sanitized before being placed in the generated HTML page. An unauthenticated attacker could potentially inject content into the page under the OpenAM origin by getting a user to open a crafted link. Upgrade to openam-oauth2 version 16.1.1.
