Exploitation Conditions

Requires a Drupal site running the SAML SSO - Service Provider module at a version below 3.2.0 (0.0.0 up to but not including 3.2.0). Exploitation is 'forceful browsing': an attacker directly requests a resource or endpoint whose authorization check is absent, so no authentication (PR:N), no user interaction (UI:N), and no special configuration are stated as required. Limiting factors: the attacker must know or discover the specific protected URL/resource, impact is confined to Low confidentiality and Low integrity (no availability effect), and the site must actually have the vulnerable module installed and enabled. The exact protected feature or path affected is not described in the available sources, so defenders should consult drupal.org/sa-contrib-2026-141 to scope which resources are exposed.

Impact

This is a moderate-severity (CVSS 6.5) missing-authorization flaw (CWE-862) in the Drupal 'SAML SSO - Service Provider' contributed module, with signals that point to low real-world urgency rather than an emergency. The CVSS vector CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N indicates a network-reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated (PR:N) issue requiring no user interaction, but with only Low confidentiality and Low integrity impact and no availability impact. These severity signals are reinforced by weak exploitation signals: EPSS is 0.14% (3rd percentile), there is no CISA KEV listing, and no public exploit was identified at time of analysis. The vuln.today decision label is 'this_month' - a routine patch-cycle priority, not act_now or emergency. The signals are consistent with each other: a genuinely remote/unauthenticated weakness but low impact and no evidence of exploitation interest, so this is a patch-on-schedule item rather than a top-priority fire. Note the primary reference (drupal.org/sa-contrib-2026-141) could not be inspected here, so the precise affected feature is not confirmed from source text - the description only states 'Forceful Browsing' as the mechanism.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

A remote, unauthenticated attacker directly requests a resource or page served by the SAML SSO - Service Provider module whose authorization check is missing, retrieving or altering content that should have been access-controlled (forceful browsing). Because the CVSS vector is AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N, no credentials, special conditions, or victim interaction are needed, but impact is bounded to partial confidentiality and integrity. No public exploit code was identified at time of analysis.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 22, 2026

The Drupal 'SAML SSO - Service Provider' contributed module (all versions before 3.2.0) omits an authorization check on at least one protected resource, so remote unauthenticated attackers can reach it directly through forceful browsing rather than through the intended SAML-authenticated flow. Successful abuse is bounded to low confidentiality and low integrity impact with no availability effect, and the trigger requires the module to be installed and enabled on a Drupal site plus knowledge or discovery of the specific protected URL. There is no CISA KEV listing and no public exploit identified at time of analysis; EPSS is 0.14% (3rd percentile), and a vendor patch is available.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: upgrade the SAML SSO - Service Provider module to version 3.2.0 or later, following the Drupal.org security advisory at https://www.drupal.org/sa-contrib-2026-141, which is the authoritative source for the fixed release and any release-specific notes; sites running any version below 3.2.0 are affected regardless of the Drupal core version in use. The supplied intelligence does not describe module-level workarounds or configuration switches that close the missing authorization check, so no specific feature-disable or path-blocking mitigation can be stated from the available data; where an update cannot be applied immediately, defenders should use the advisory to identify which protected resource is affected and scope compensating access restrictions accordingly, and should verify whether the module is actually installed and enabled, since removing or disabling an unused module eliminates the exposure. Priority per the vuln.today decision signal is this_month rather than emergency handling, consistent with EPSS 0.14% (3rd percentile) and the absence of KEV or public exploit reporting.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The affected component is a Drupal contributed module implementing the Service Provider side of SAML 2.0 single sign-on, published under the Drupal.org project namespace (CPE cpe:2.3:a:drupal:saml_sso_-_service_provider). The root cause class is CWE-862, Missing Authorization: a route or resource that should be gated by Drupal's access-check layer is reachable without an authorization decision being applied, which is what the advisory labels forceful browsing. Because the CVSS vector is AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N, the assessed exposure is a remote, unauthenticated request with no user interaction and no special conditions, although the assessment notes that the attacker must know or discover the affected protected path. Neither the CVE description, the ENISA EUVD record, nor the supplied assessment identifies the specific menu route, controller, or SAML SP endpoint that lacks the check, so the precise resource exposed remains unverified from the available sources and must be scoped against the Drupal security advisory sa-contrib-2026-141.
