The GenericConsumer class in the Consumer component in ZendOpenId before 2.0.2 and the ZendOpenIdConsumer class in Zend Framework 1 before 1.12.4 does not verify that the openidopendpoint value identifies the same Identity Provider as the provider used in the association handle, which allows remote attackers to bypass authentication and spoof arbitrary OpenID identities by using a malicious OpenID Provider that generates OpenID tokens with arbitrary identifier and claimedid values.
