What is CVE-2026-47424?
CVE-2026-47424 is a high-severity code injection vulnerability in OpenIdentityPlatform OpenAM, published on 15 Sep 2026. An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.
Official description
Open Access Management (OpenAM) is an access management solution. Prior to 16.1.1, GroovySandboxValueFilter permits an authenticated server-side script author to escape the scripting sandbox despite the default class allow and deny lists. A user such as a sub-realm RealmAdmin who can create or edit a script in an executed context can invoke operating-system commands as the OpenAM application server account, crossing the realm-scoped administration boundary and compromising the JVM and every realm it serves. This issue is fixed in version 16.1.1.
