Technical details

The Drupal SAML SSO - Service Provider module fails to sufficiently validate authentication responses, leading to an 'Improper Check for Unusual or Exceptional Conditions' (CWE-754). This vulnerability allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker to bypass the SAML authentication process and log in as any user, including administrators, by exploiting flaws in how the module handles SAML assertions or exceptional conditions during the SSO handshake. The issue affects all versions prior to 3.1.4. Users are advised to upgrade to version 3.1.4 immediately to remediate the risk.
