CVE-2026-19842 PUBLISHED

SAML Single Sign On 4.8.85 - 5.4.6 - Unauthenticated Administrator Account Takeover via SAML Trust Anchor Overwrite

Assigner: WPScan
Reserved: 14.08.2026 Published: 19.08.2026 Updated: 19.08.2026

The SAML Single Sign On WordPress plugin before 5.4.7 does not verify the signature of a SAML response before storing the certificate it carries, and offers an administrator a one-click control that promotes that stored certificate to the site's trusted signing certificate, allowing unauthenticated attackers to have a certificate of their own trusted and then authenticate as any user, including an administrator.
