| Exploitation Conditions | The affected software must be the Drupal contrib module 'SAML SSO - Service Provider' at any version from 0.0.0 up to and including 3.2.0; upgrading past 3.2.0 removes the flaw. The root cause is a hard-coded credential (CWE-798) embedded in the module, and the described outcome is retrieval of embedded sensitive data. The available sources do not state the specific endpoint, request, or configuration that exposes the credential, so the trigger is not described in the available sources. Limiting factors on impact: the flaw is confidentiality-only (C:L, with I:N and A:N), so it discloses data but does not grant modification or denial of service; severity is Medium (5.3), EPSS is very low, and there is no evidence of active exploitation. |
| Impact | Signals converge on a genuine but non-urgent, moderate-severity issue rather than an emergency. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 5.3 (Medium) with a confidentiality-only impact (C:L/I:N/A:N), meaning the flaw leaks embedded sensitive data but does not by itself alter or disable the system. The vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) implies network-reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated access; however, note the authentication qualifier is taken from the CVSS PR:N field only - the advisory text does not describe the trigger mechanism, so exactly how the hard-coded credential is reached is unverified. EPSS is very low (0.14%, 3rd percentile) and there is no CISA KEV listing and no public exploit or PoC reference in the provided data, so this is not evidenced as widely exploited. The vuln.today decision label is 'this_month' (not act_now/emergency), consistent with the low EPSS and absence of KEV. One internal conflict: the input Tags assert 'Authentication Bypass', but the CVSS vector shows I:N and the description states only 'Retrieve Embedded Sensitive Data' - these point to information disclosure, not a full authentication bypass; treat the auth-bypass characterization as unverified. Net: a real, patch-this-month confidentiality issue in a niche contrib module, not a high-urgency mass-exploitation threat. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A remote attacker interacts with a Drupal site running the SAML SSO - Service Provider module at version 3.2.0 or earlier and extracts a credential or secret that was hard-coded into the module. Using that embedded secret, the attacker reads sensitive data that should have been protected. No public exploit code or PoC reference is identified in the available data, and the precise trigger (endpoint or feature exposing the secret) is not described in the sources. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 22, 2026
Unauthenticated remote retrieval of embedded sensitive data is possible in the Drupal contrib module 'SAML SSO - Service Provider' versions 0.0.0 through 3.2.0, because the module ships a hard-coded credential (CWE-798) rather than generating or requiring a site-specific secret. The assessed vector (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N, 5.3 Medium) is confidentiality-only: an attacker can read exposed data but cannot modify it or cause denial of service. EPSS is 0.14% (3rd percentile), there is no KEV listing and no public exploit identified at time of analysis, so the issue is genuine but non-urgent; a vendor patch is available and upgrading past 3.2.0 removes the flaw.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: available per vendor advisory (Drupal SA-CONTRIB-2026-148, https://www.drupal.org/sa-contrib-2026-148) - upgrading past 3.2.0 removes the flaw, and the advisory should be followed for the exact patched release to install on each Drupal branch, because the supplied data does not name a specific fixed version number. Because the root cause is a hard-coded credential, treat any secret that shipped with the module as disclosed once the site has been exposed, and rotate affected SP signing or authentication material after the upgrade; the trade-off is a coordinated update of IdP-side metadata so existing SAML trust is not broken. If the upgrade must be scheduled rather than applied immediately - consistent with the 'this_month' priority rather than an emergency response - restrict network access to the module's SAML endpoints to known Identity Provider addresses at the web server or WAF, accepting that this breaks SSO for users arriving from other networks, and check the vendor advisory for any module-level workaround it documents. There is no evidence of active exploitation, so no emergency out-of-band change is indicated, but the update should not slip beyond the normal monthly maintenance window.

Technical ContextAI · show details
SAML SSO - Service Provider is a Drupal contributed module that implements the SAML 2.0 Service Provider role, consuming assertions from an external Identity Provider and mapping SAML attributes to Drupal user accounts and sessions. CWE-798 (Use of Hard-coded Credentials) means a credential value is baked into the module's distributed code rather than being generated per site or supplied through configuration, so every deployment of the affected range carries the same value. Because such a value is identical across installs and readable by anyone who obtains the module code, it can be used to reach data that should have been protected by that secret; the outcome described by the vendor is retrieval of embedded sensitive data. The CPE entry (cpe:2.3:a:drupal:saml_sso_-_service_provider:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) confirms the target is the Drupal contrib module itself, and the affected range is 0.0.0 through 3.2.0 (ENISA EUVD records it as 0.0.0 <3.2.0). The available sources do not state the specific endpoint, request path, or configuration that exposes the credential, so the trigger is not described; the confidentiality-only scoring (C:L with I:N and A:N) is the only confirmed impact bound.

Attack Technique
Authentication bypass attacks exploit flaws in the verification mechanisms that control access to systems and applications.
Information disclosure occurs when an application unintentionally exposes sensitive data that aids attackers in reconnaissance or directly compromises security.
