Summary

OpenAM (Open Identity Platform) is an open-source Identity and Access Management (IAM) platform derived from ForgeRock OpenAM, providing SSO, OAuth2, SAML, and OpenID Connect capabilities. It is widely deployed in enterprise environments as a central authentication gateway. The /sessionservice endpoint, used for internal session management operations, does not sufficiently restrict the URLs that authenticated users may register for session event notifications. Under certain conditions, this may result in outbound server-side requests to attacker-controlled destinations, potentially exposing session-related data. This behavior results in a server-side request forgery (SSRF) vulnerability, where an authenticated attacker can trigger outbound requests to arbitrary destinations.

Impact

What is server-side request forgery (SSRF)?

Untrusted input controls the target URL of a server-initiated request, which may reach internal services not otherwise accessible from outside. Typical impact: access to internal metadata services, internal APIs, or cloud credentials.

Affected versions

maven

  • org.openidentityplatform.openam:openam-core (<= 16.0.6)

Security releases

  • org.openidentityplatform.openam:openam-core → 16.1.1 (maven)
Kodem intelligence

Severity tells you how bad this could be in the worst case. It does not tell you whether you are exposed. Exploitability and impact are functions of runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A vulnerable package can sit in your dependency tree and never run.

Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter instead of chasing every advisory.

Kodem's runtime-powered SCA identifies whether CVE-2026-44202 is reachable in your applications. Explore open-source security for your team.

Frequently asked questions about CVE-2026-44202

What is CVE-2026-44202?

CVE-2026-44202 is a medium-severity server-side request forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in org.openidentityplatform.openam:openam-core (maven), affecting versions <= 16.0.6. It is fixed in 16.1.1. Untrusted input controls the target URL of a server-initiated request, which may reach internal services not otherwise accessible from outside.

Which versions of org.openidentityplatform.openam:openam-core are affected by CVE-2026-44202?

org.openidentityplatform.openam:openam-core (maven) versions <= 16.0.6 is affected.

Is there a fix for CVE-2026-44202?

Yes. CVE-2026-44202 is fixed in 16.1.1. Upgrade to this version or later.

Is CVE-2026-44202 exploitable, and should I be worried?

Whether CVE-2026-44202 is exploitable in your environment depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable. A CVSS score is a worst-case rating; it does not account for your specific deployment, configuration, or usage patterns. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to show which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so you can focus on the ones that represent real risk. Get a demo

What actually determines whether CVE-2026-44202 is exploitable, and how bad it is?

Exploitability and impact are not fixed properties of a CVE. They depend on runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A high CVSS score on a dependency that never runs is not the same as real risk. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter.

How do I fix CVE-2026-44202?

Upgrade org.openidentityplatform.openam:openam-core to 16.1.1 or later.
