Under certain conditions a valid SAML IdP response may be used to impersonate another Secret Server user.
AnalysisAI
SAML single sign-on handling in Delinea Secret Server (On-Prem) 10.5.0 through 12.1.3 allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to impersonate another Secret Server user by presenting a valid SAML IdP response under certain conditions, giving high confidentiality and integrity impact to the impersonated account and to connected components (CVSS 4.0 base 9.5; assessed as CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:N). No pre-existing Secret Server credentials and no victim interaction are required, but the vulnerability only affects deployments actually configured to use SAML-based SSO, and exploitation hinges on unspecified preconditions in the SAML assertion-handling path (reflected as AC:H/AT:P), so the raw 9.5 score overstates how easily the flaw can be triggered. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Requires that Secret Server (On-Prem, versions 10.5.0 through 12.1.3) be configured to use SAML-based single sign-on - the flaw is in processing of SAML IdP responses, so environments not using SAML SSO are not affected. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | This is a genuine high-priority authentication flaw, but its raw 9.5 CVSS 4.0 score overstates the ease of exploitation. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | The source data does not identify a specific vendor-released patch version, so the exact fixed build should be confirmed against Delinea's security advisory page (https://delinea.com/security-advisories) and the NVD entry (https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-15640) before scheduling an upgrade; note that the affected range terminates at 12.1.3, which indicates fixes are in builds later than 12.1.3, but that should be treated as an inference to verify rather than a confirmed fix version. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, determine whether the organization runs Delinea Secret Server (On-Prem) versions 10.5.0 through 12.1.3 and whether SAML-based SSO is enabled; if both are true, treat the deployment as exposed, alert the identity and privileged access management teams, and review recent SAML authentication logs in Secret Server and the IdP for anomalous or unexpected user impersonation events. …
