Description
Open Access Management (OpenAM) is an access management solution. Prior to 16.1.1, the /sessionservice addSessionListener operation allows an authenticated user to register an arbitrary notification URL without requiring an administrative or application client token. SessionRequestHandler passes the attacker-controlled destination to the session listener service, causing the OpenAM server to make outbound requests and potentially disclose session-related notification data to an attacker-controlled destination. This issue is fixed in version 16.1.1.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for org.openidentityplatform.openam:openam-core, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update org.openidentityplatform.openam:openam-core to 16.1.1 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2026-44202 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
How O3 protects you
O3 Security's impact-aware SCA analyses which vulnerable code paths your application actually calls, so a match like CVE-2026-44202 can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.
Tailored to CVE-2026-44202. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
