Description

The SAML Single Sign On – SSO Login plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Authentication Bypass via SAML Signature Algorithm Confusion in all versions up to, and including, 5.4.3. The vulnerability exists because `Mo_SAML_Utilities::mo_saml_cast_key()` reads the `SignatureMethod` Algorithm attribute directly from the attacker-controlled `SAMLResponse` parameter rather than enforcing the locally configured algorithm, causing the plugin to recast the IdP's RSA public key as an HMAC-SHA1 shared sec
