Medium (6.9) in openidentityplatform openam. EPSS 0.3% estimated probability of exploitation activity in the next 30 days.
OpenAM before 16.1.4 ships built-in identities in the Top Level Realm (demo, anonymous, wsc, wsp, SecurityTokenService and agentAuth) with passwords that are identical on every installation, publicly known, and able to authenticate. Unauthenticated remote attackers can log in as these identities to obtain authenticated sessions, and the agent identities can read the configuration of other agent profiles.
