MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Impact The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires that the miniOrange SAML SP Single Sign On plugin (versions through 6.1.0) be installed and its SAML SSO HTTP endpoint be reachable by the attacker; per the CVSS vector it needs no authentication (PR:N), no user interaction (UI:N), and only low complexity (AC:L), so any internet-exposed site running the affected plugin is reachable. The specific feature, parameter, or request pattern that triggers the unthrottled allocation is not described in the available sources. Limiting factors: impact is availability-only (C:N/I:N) - it cannot expose or alter data - and only sites that have this particular SSO plugin enabled and exposed are affected. |
| Impact | The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H, base 7.5) describes a remotely reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated resource-exhaustion flaw whose only impact is availability - consistent with CWE-770 (Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling) and the stated 'HTTP DoS' effect. No EPSS probability was supplied, and the vulnerability is NOT in CISA KEV, so there is no_public_exploit identified as weaponized and no evidence of active exploitation; a public PoC reference exists via Patchstack but it is not verified as working exploit code. The vuln.today decision label is 'this_week', which positions this as a prioritize-but-not-emergency item rather than an act_now/emergency case. Signals are internally consistent (network vector matches an HTTP DoS against a WordPress plugin), so there is no CVSS-vs-description conflict; the main caveat is that EPSS is absent, so widespread-exploitation likelihood cannot be quantified from the input. Net: a genuine but availability-only issue - meaningful for sites exposing this SSO endpoint, but it cannot be used to breach confidentiality or integrity. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A remote, unauthenticated attacker sends crafted or high-volume HTTP requests to the plugin's SAML SSO endpoint, causing it to allocate resources without limit and exhaust server capacity, rendering the WordPress site unavailable. A public PoC reference exists (Patchstack); it is not verified as working exploit code, and no active exploitation is confirmed. The CVSS AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N vector indicates this requires no authentication, no user interaction, and only low attack complexity. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Nov 04, 2026
Unauthenticated resource exhaustion in the miniOrange SAML SP Single Sign On WordPress plugin (versions through 6.1.0) lets remote attackers drive an HTTP denial-of-service against sites that expose the plugin's SAML SSO endpoint. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N, base 7.5) confirms the attack needs no credentials, no user interaction and only low complexity, but the impact is availability-only - confidentiality and integrity are unaffected. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and the vulnerability is tracked for remediation this week per the current priority label; the specific request pattern that triggers the unthrottled allocation is not described in the available sources.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch was identified at time of analysis, and the available advisory does not list a fixed version, so there is no confirmed upgrade target to cite; monitor the Patchstack advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/miniorange-saml-20-single-sign-on/vulnerability/wordpress-saml-sp-single-sign-on-plugin-6-1-0-denial-of-service-attack-vulnerability?_s_id=cve for a patched release and apply it as soon as one is published. Because the assessed exploitation condition is reachability of the plugin's SAML SSO HTTP endpoint, the concrete compensating control is to reduce that exposure - block or allow-list access to the SAML endpoints at the edge or WAF and apply request throttling there, with the trade-off that external identity-provider callbacks and end-user SSO logins will fail for any client that is filtered or rate-limited. Sites that cannot restrict the endpoint should consider disabling the plugin until a fix is available, accepting the loss of SAML single sign-on for their users.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The flaw is CWE-770 (Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling) in a WordPress SAML Service Provider plugin, miniOrange SAML SP Single Sign On, identified by CPE cpe:2.3:a:miniorange:saml_sp_single_sign_on with all versions up to and including 6.1.0 in scope. A SAML SP is the relying-party component that receives and processes SAML assertions from an identity provider, typically exposing HTTP endpoints for assertion consumer services, metadata and login initiation; those endpoints must be reachable by browsers, which is why the assessed exploitation condition is simply that the plugin is installed and its SAML SSO HTTP endpoint is internet-reachable. The vulnerability class means some code path consumes resources (memory, connections, CPU or similar) in response to attacker-driven requests without an enforced cap or throttle, producing the stated HTTP denial-of-service. Consistent with the CVSS vector, no authentication (PR:N), no user interaction (UI:N) and low attack complexity (AC:L) are required, and the scope is unchanged with availability as the only impacted property. The trigger - the specific feature, parameter or request pattern that causes the unbounded allocation - is not described in the available sources, so the exact mechanism should be confirmed against the Patchstack advisory and the plugin code before building detections.

Executive ViewAI
CVE-2026-62126 is a high-severity unauthenticated denial-of-service vulnerability in the miniOrange SAML SP Single Sign On WordPress plugin affecting all versions through 6.1.0. It allows any remote attacker to exhaust server resources and take down SAML-protected WordPress sites, disrupting authentication for employees, partners, and customers who rely on single sign-on. Leadership should care because an outage could halt access to critical business applications and damage customer trust, even though no data breach or integrity impact is involved.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations include enforcing rate limiting and connection throttling on the SAML SSO endpoint, deploying WAF rules to block anomalous request bursts, restricting endpoint exposure to trusted identity provider networks where feasible, and monitoring for HTTP exhaustion patterns.
