CVE-2026-89209: Mendix SAML authentication bypass in IdP-initiated SSO

CVE-2026-89209 · Severity: high · CVSS 6.8 · Published 2026-10-26

Mendix SAML is a module that enables user authentication in cloud applications through SAML identity providers. The vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to replay captured SAML responses to gain unauthorized access to applications using IdP-initiated single sign-on flows, potentially leading to account takeover and unauthorized access to sensitive data.

Vendors: Siemens.

How to fix

  • Fixed in: Mendix SAML (Mendix 9 compatible) V3.6.29 or later; Mendix SAML (Mendix 10 compatible) V4.2.4 or later; Mendix SAML (Mendix 11 compatible) V4.2.4 or later

Disable IdP-initiated SSO to eliminate the attack vector until patching is possible.

Technical details

The vulnerability is a SAML assertion replay attack (CWE-294) in IdP-initiated authentication flows. Affected versions do not properly validate replay protection on SAML responses, allowing an attacker with network access to capture and reuse a valid SAML assertion for authentication. This requires user interaction (a legitimate login) to capture an assertion, but grants unauthenticated access thereafter.

Affected products

  • Siemens Mendix SAML (Mendix 9 compatible) All versions < V3.6.29
  • Siemens Mendix SAML (Mendix 10 compatible) All versions < V4.2.4
  • Siemens Mendix SAML (Mendix 11 compatible) All versions < V4.2.4
