WordPress · Saml Single Sign On – Sso Login · CVE-2026-15013
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
SAML Single Sign On – SSO Login plugin for WordPress versions prior to 5.4.4
**Description**
An authentication bypass exists due to SAML Signature Algorithm Confusion. The issue occurs because the `Mo SAML Utilities::mo saml cast key()` function reads the `SignatureMethod` attribute directly from the attacker-controlled `SAMLResponse` parameter instead of using the locally configured algorithm. This allows the plugin to treat the Identity Provider's RSA public key as an HMAC-SHA1 shared secret to validate a forged signature. Consequently, unauthenticated attackers can forge SAML assertions for any account, including administrators, to obtain authentication cookies and achieve full account takeover.
**Recommendations**
Update the plugin to a version newer than 5.4.3.
