CVE-2026-94612 Details
Description
authentik is an open-source identity provider. Prior to 2026.2.7, 2026.5.7, and 2026.8.2, an authentik SAML Source verifies an assertion's signature and validity period but does not ensure that the identity provider issued the assertion for that Source or in response to a login request from that Source. The SAML Source also does not record already accepted assertions, allowing replay. An unauthenticated actor who possesses such a valid assertion can use an assertion intended for another service provider or reuse an earlier assertion to authenticate as the user named by the assertion. Only SAML Sources are affected; SAML Providers and other Source types are not affected. This issue is fixed in versions 2026.2.7, 2026.5.7, and 2026.8.2.
A vulnerability exists in authentik's SAML Source component, affecting versions prior to 2026.2.7, 2026.5.7, and 2026.8.2. The issue arises because the SAML Source verifies an assertion's signature and validity period but fails to confirm that the identity provider issued the assertion for that specific Source or in response to a login request from that Source. Additionally, the SAML Source does not record accepted assertions, allowing for replay attacks. An unauthenticated actor with a valid assertion can use it to authenticate as the user named in the assertion, potentially accessing services intended for that user.
Users can upgrade to authentik versions 2026.2.7, 2026.5.7, or 2026.8.2 to address this vulnerability.
