CVE-2026-15013 Details
Description
The SAML Single Sign On – SSO Login plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Authentication Bypass via SAML Signature Algorithm Confusion in all versions up to, and including, 5.4.3. The vulnerability exists because `Mo_SAML_Utilities::mo_saml_cast_key()` reads the `SignatureMethod` Algorithm attribute directly from the attacker-controlled `SAMLResponse` parameter rather than enforcing the locally configured algorithm, causing the plugin to recast the IdP's RSA public key as an HMAC-SHA1 shared secret and validate the forged signature against it. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to forge a SAML assertion targeting any WordPress account — including administrators — obtain valid WordPress authentication cookies, and achieve full administrator-level account takeover.
A vulnerability allowing authentication bypass has been identified in the SAML Single Sign On – SSO Login plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions through 5.4.3. This vulnerability arises from the plugin's improper handling of the 'SignatureMethod' Algorithm attribute within the 'SAMLResponse' parameter. Instead of applying the user's configured algorithm, the plugin allows attackers to dictate the algorithm, leading to the misinterpretation of the Identity Provider's RSA public key as a shared secret. Exploiting this flaw, attackers can forge SAML assertions, target any WordPress user, including administrators, and gain access to their accounts by stealing authentication cookies.
Users are advised to update the SAML Single Sign On – SSO Login plugin to version 5.4.4 or later.
