## Overview

OpenAM from 14.0.0 before 16.1.4 contains an information disclosure vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to read live session tokens from the notification WebSocket. Attackers can bypass the agent-only check through an unvalidated internal forward on legacy Liberty ID-FF endpoints, collecting iPlanetDirectoryPro tokens to hijack user and administrator sessions.

## Affected

- `OpenAM >= 14.0.0 < 16.1.4`
- `OpenAM >= 14.0.0 < 16.1.4`
- `OpenAM >= 14.0.0 < 16.1.4`
