The affected sessions REST endpoint can disclose usernames, universal IDs, and session handles for sessions in every realm.

3

Which deployments are affected?

ForgeRock OpenAM versions before 16.1.3 are affected. The provided information does not identify any configuration prerequisite beyond access to the sessions REST endpoint and delegated RealmAdmin privileges.
