Machine-written summary

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

OpenAM versions through 16.0.6 (the openam-federation-library Maven package, fixed in 16.1.1) have an improper authorization flaw in the Liberty Web Services SOAP receiver. An unauthenticated remote attacker who can reach the Liberty endpoints can write persistent entries into the Liberty Discovery store, including on users' LDAP entries and a shared root-realm branch. Upgrade to version 16.1.1. The source gives few details on downstream impact.
