Siemens has an update available to handle an authentication bypass by capture-replay in its Mendix SAML (Mendix 10 compatible), according to a report with CISA.

Mendix SAML module vulnerability, which Siemens self-reported, could allow an unauthenticated remote attacker gain unauthorized access by replaying a valid SAML assertion in IdP-initiated authentication flows.

The Siemens Mendix SAML Module is an official application component that enables Single Sign-On (SSO) for Mendix low-code applications using the SAML 2.0 protocol.

The following versions of Siemens Mendix SAML Module suffer from the issue:

  • Mendix SAML (Mendix 10 compatible) versions under 4.2.4
  • Mendix SAML (Mendix 11 compatible) versions under 4.2.4
  • Mendix SAML (Mendix 9 compatible) versions under 3.6.29

Affected versions of the module do not properly protect against SAML assertion replay in IdP-initiated authentication flows. This could allow unauthenticated remote attackers to gain unauthorized access to the application by replaying a valid SAML response.
