DescriptionGitHub Advisory

OpenSlides is a free, web based presentation and assembly system for managing and projecting agenda, motions and elections of an assembly. Prior to version 4.2.29, OpenSlides supports local logins with username and password or an optionally configurable single sign on with SAML via an external IDP. For users synced to OpenSlides via an external IDP, there is an incorrect access control regarding the local login of these users. Users can successfully login using the local login form and the OpenSlides username of a SAML user and a trivial password. This password is valid for all SAML users. This issue has been patched in version 4.2.29.

AnalysisAI

OpenSlides versions prior to 4.2.29 allow unauthorized authentication bypass for SAML-synchronized users through the local login form by using the victim's username with a hardcoded trivial password. An attacker can gain complete access to any SAML user account without knowing their actual credentials, potentially compromising sensitive assembly management data including agendas, motions, and election information. …
