Technical details

A reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the OpenAM federation library within the SAML2 Cluster Cookie-Hash-Redirect path. The root cause is the inconsistent application of output encoding in the `FSUtils.postToTarget` method when rendering user-supplied parameters into HTML responses. This vulnerability is exploitable without authentication but requires a non-default configuration typically found in clustered deployments. An attacker can achieve script execution in the context of the victim's session by inducing a user to visit a specially crafted URL. The issue is addressed in version 16.1.1.
