Which packages are affected by CVE-2026-47426?

CVE-2026-47426 affects the following packages: org.openidentityplatform.openam:openam-oauth2 (Maven). Ecosystems affected: Maven.

How do I fix CVE-2026-47426?

Update org.openidentityplatform.openam:openam-oauth2 to 16.1.1 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2026-47426 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect CVE-2026-47426 in my Maven dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for org.openidentityplatform.openam:openam-oauth2, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.

How do I mitigate CVE-2026-47426 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-2026-47426?

O3 Security's impact-aware SCA analyses which vulnerable code paths your application actually calls, so a match like CVE-2026-47426 can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.

Is CVE-2026-47426 actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for CVE-2026-47426 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.

Description

Summary

Description

An Improper Authentication (CWE-287) issue in OpenAM's OAuth2 private_key_jwt client authentication path allows any registered OAuth2 client to mint tokens in the name of any other client whose key is published via a jwks_uri, without knowing the victim's signing key. This affects OpenAM Community Edition through version 16.0.6 and was patched in version 16.1.1.

Impact

OpenAM Community Edition deployments through version 16.0.6 that have OAuth2 clients configured for private_key_jwt authentication with keys published via jwks_uri are potentially affected. An attacker holding any such client registration, their own, or one obtained through open dynamic client registration where enabled, can mint access tokens in any other such client's name, in any realm hosted by the OpenAM process.

Patch

This has been patched in OpenAM Community Edition version 16.1.1. Users are encouraged to update to the latest release.
