CVE-2026-62379: OpenAM: Unauthenticated Remote Code Execution via Class.forName in AuthXMLUtils.createCustomCallback
(updated )
A pre-authentication remote code execution vulnerability affects OpenAM. The
remote authentication endpoint (/authservice, PLL) accepts an XML element
that names an arbitrary Java class, which the server then loads and
instantiates without validation. On a default configuration this is reachable
without authentication and allows an attacker to run code on the server.
