CVE-2026-5343
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedImproper Check for Unusual or Exceptional Conditions vulnerability in Drupal SAML SSO - Service Provider allows Privilege Escalation. This issue affects SAML SSO - Service Provider: from 0.0.0 before 3.1.4.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceThe Drupal SAML SSO Service Provider module has an improper check for unusual or exceptional conditions in its SAML authentication handling, which can be exploited to gain elevated privileges beyond what the user's SAML identity should provide.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify installed module versionCheck the miniorange_saml_sp module version by reviewing the module's info file (miniorange_saml_sp.info.yml for D8+ or miniorange_saml_sp.info for D7) located in the modules directory, or use Drush command: drush pm-list --type=module --status=enabled | grep miniorangeAffected if Version is >= 3.0.1 and < 3.1.4, or is any 7.x-1.x version from 1.0 through 1.91
-
Confirm SAML authentication is configuredReview the module configuration at /admin/config/people/saml/idp (or similar path under /admin/config/people/saml) to verify an Identity Provider is configured and the service provider is enabledAffected if SAML SSO authentication is actively configured and in use
-
Review IdP-to-Drupal role mappingsExamine the role mapping settings at /admin/config/people/saml/spur or the role mappings section in the SAML configuration page. Check which Drupal roles are mapped from SAML assertionsAffected if Role mappings exist that could be exploited through improper validation of exceptional conditions in SAML responses
The environment is affected if the miniorange_saml_sp module version falls within the affected ranges AND SAML authentication is configured, allowing potential privilege escalation via SAML response handling.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scoped3.1.4
Update the SAML SSO - Service Provider module to version 3.1.4 or later to obtain the fix for this privilege escalation vulnerability.
3.1.4
- Backup your Drupal site and database before making any changes
- Update the SAML SSO - Service Provider module to version 3.1.4 using Composer: composer require drupal/saml_sp ^3.1.4 --update-with-all-dependencies
- Run Drupal database updates: drush updatedb or via /update.php
- Clear Drupal caches: drush cr or via the admin interface
- Verify SAML SSO functionality by testing single sign-on
