CVE-2025-7040Cloud SAML SSO <= 1.0.19 - Missing Authorization to Unauthenticated Settings Modification via set_organization_settings Action
High 8.2
In plain English
A high-severity missing authorization in Cloud SAML SSO – Single Sign On Login from cloudinfrastructureservices. There are no confirmed reports of exploitation so far. The chance it is exploited in the next 30 days is estimated at 0.3% (higher than 23% of all known vulnerabilities).
Official description
The Cloud SAML SSO plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on the 'set_organization_settings' action of the csso_handle_actions() function in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.19. The handler reads client-supplied POST parameters for organization settings and passes them directly to update_option() without any check of the user’s capabilities or a CSRF nonce. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to change critical configuration (including toggling signing and encryption), potentially breaking the SSO flow and causing a denial-of-service.
