Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
OpenAM (openam-core Maven package) versions before 16.1.1 are affected. An authenticated low-privileged user can use the session management endpoint, which does not check ownership or privileges, to retrieve active session credentials of other users, including more privileged accounts, and possibly take administrative actions. The source gives few details on exploitation conditions. Upgrade to version 16.1.1 or later.
