  - Open Access Management (OpenAM) is an access management solution. Prior to 16.1.1,
    GroovySandboxValueFilter permits an authenticated server-side script author to escape the scripting
    sandbox despite the default class allow and deny lists. A user such as a sub-realm RealmAdmin who can
    create or edit a script in an executed context can invoke operating-system commands as the OpenAM
    application server account, crossing the realm-scoped administration boundary and compromising the JVM and
    every realm it serves. This issue is fixed in version 16.1.1. (CVE-2026-47424)
