CVE-2026-21391
An improper validation vulnerability exists within PingAM where a well-crafted request allows arbitrary or protected ID Token claims to be set or overridden.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.45%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
An improper validation vulnerability exists within PingAM where a well-crafted request allows arbitrary or protected ID Token claims to be set or overridden. In certain configurations this could allow an attacker to bypass authentication controls via spoofing leading to privilege escalation or impersonation.
