SAML IdP disruption via cache modification
Published Sep 2, 2025 · Updated Sep 3, 2025
Improper input validation in Open Identity Platform OpenAM 14.0.0 through 14.0.1 allows remote authenticated users to interrupt its SAML IdP. The SAML IdP request path fails to validate a request parameter before using it to modify OpenAM's internal cache; the exact function is undisclosed. Exploitation requires low-privileged authentication and a deployment with multiple trust circles, and the bounded result is IdP malfunction rather than data disclosure.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
