CVE-2026-41573
Published:June 22, 2026
Updated:June 24, 2026
OpenAM (Open Identity Platform) is an open-source IAM platform providing SSO, OAuth2, SAML, and OpenID Connect capabilities. The CREST REST API layer exposes user query endpoints under "/json/{realm}/users". In "IdentityResourceV1.queryCollection()", the HTTP query parameter "_queryId" is passed to a "CrestQuery" object with "escapeQueryId" explicitly set to "false", bypassing the escape protection introduced as part of the CVE-2021-29156 fix. The unescaped value flows directly to "DJLDAPv3Repo.getFilter()" where it is concatenated into an LDAP filter string without sanitization, enabling authenticated attackers to inject arbitrary LDAP metacharacters for user enumeration and blind LDAP injection. Affected Endpoint | Endpoint | Auth Required | Injection Parameter | |----------|--------------|---------------------| | "GET /openam/json/{realm}/users?_queryId=<INJECTION>" | SSO Token | "_queryId" | | "GET /openam/json/{realm}/groups?_queryId=<INJECTION>" | SSO Token (TBD) | "_queryId" | Background: CVE-2021-29156 CVE-2021-29156 was a pre-authentication LDAP injection in OpenAM's Webfinger endpoint, where user-supplied input reached "DJLDAPv3Repo.getFilter()" unescaped. The fix introduced the "escapeQueryId" flag in "CrestQuery" (defaulting to "true") and added "Filter.escapeAssertionValue()" in the filter-building path: Credit Discovered by JD-Security SHENYI Team
