OpenAM (Open Source Edition) allows an attacker to bypass authentication and access unauthorized contents via unspecified vectors. Note that this vulnerability affects OpenAM (Open Source Edition) implementations configured as SAML 2.0IdP, and switches authentication methods based on AuthnContext requests sent from the service provider.

Weakness

When an actor claims to have a given identity, the product does not prove or insufficiently proves that the claim is correct.
