Publication date: 2025-09-06

Last updated on: 2025-09-08

Assigner: Wordfence

Description
The Cloud SAML SSO plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on the 'set_organization_settings' action of the csso_handle_actions() function in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.19. The handler reads client-supplied POST parameters for organization settings and passes them directly to update_option() without any check of the user’s capabilities or a CSRF nonce. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to change critical configuration (including toggling signing and encryption), potentially breaking the SSO flow and causing a denial-of-service.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability exists in the Cloud SAML SSO plugin for WordPress, where a missing capability check on the 'set_organization_settings' action allows unauthenticated attackers to modify organization settings. The plugin's csso_handle_actions() function reads client-supplied POST parameters and passes them directly to update_option() without verifying user permissions or using a CSRF nonce. This enables attackers to change critical configurations such as toggling signing and encryption.

Impact Analysis

An attacker exploiting this vulnerability can change critical configuration settings of the Cloud SAML SSO plugin, potentially breaking the Single Sign-On (SSO) flow and causing a denial-of-service. This unauthorized modification can disrupt authentication processes and impact the availability of services relying on SSO.
