How severe is CVE-2026-44793?

No CVSS score has been assigned to CVE-2026-44793 yet. Review the advisory details and affected package list to assess your exposure.

How do I fix CVE-2026-44793?

Update org.openidentityplatform.openam:openam-federation-library to 16.1.1 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2026-44793 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect CVE-2026-44793 in my Maven dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for org.openidentityplatform.openam:openam-federation-library, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.

How do I mitigate CVE-2026-44793 if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

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 does O3 Security protect against CVE-2026-44793?

O3 Security's impact-aware SCA analyses which vulnerable code paths your application actually calls, so a match like CVE-2026-44793 can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.

Is CVE-2026-44793 actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for CVE-2026-44793 yet. This does not mean the vulnerability cannot be exploited — absence of public exploits does not imply safety. Apply the recommended fix and use O3 Security to monitor your exposure.

What is the EPSS score for CVE-2026-44793?

CVE-2026-44793 has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 0.4%, placing it in the 38th percentile of all CVEs. EPSS is maintained by FIRST.org and estimates the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited in the wild within the next 30 days. This score indicates relatively lower exploitation probability, though the CVSS severity should still guide your patching priority.

What type of vulnerability is CVE-2026-44793?

CVE-2026-44793 is classified as Cross-site Scripting (XSS) (CWE-79). This weakness type describe the underlying flaw category, which helps determine the potential impact and the right class of mitigation. This is a high-impact weakness class that often enables remote code execution or data exposure.

When was CVE-2026-44793 published, and has it been updated?

CVE-2026-44793 was published on September 15, 2026 and was last updated on September 17, 2026. Advisory data evolves as severity scores, affected ranges, and exploit intelligence are revised — always check the latest version of the advisory before acting.

Real-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects Maven packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.

Description

Open Access Management (OpenAM) is an access management solution. Prior to 16.1.1, certain federation endpoints in a non-default clustered configuration inconsistently encode user-supplied parameters rendered into HTML in the SAML2 cluster cookie-hash redirect path. An unauthenticated attacker can induce a user to follow a crafted request and execute script in the OpenAM origin. This issue is fixed in version 16.1.1.
