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 · unedited
Prowler is a cloud security platform. Prior to 5.30.3, Prowler's SAML authentication flow trusted the email domain asserted in a SAMLResponse when deciding which tenant should receive the final token, and the ACS finish logic in api/src/backend/api/v1/views.py recalculated the tenant from user.email instead of binding token issuance to the validated SAML configuration. An authenticated attacker with a controlled SAML IdP could complete a valid SAML flow for an attacker-controlled domain while asserting an email address from another configured domain, causing a SAMLToken and tenant-scoped JWT to be issued for the wrong tenant and enabling cross-tenant account takeover. This issue is fixed in version 5.30.3.

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 · high confidence

Prowler's SAML authentication flow incorrectly recalculated tenant from user.email instead of binding token issuance to the validated SAML configuration. An attacker with a controlled SAML IdP could assert an email from a different configured tenant's domain during authentication, causing the system to issue a SAMLToken and tenant-scoped JWT for the wrong tenant, enabling cross-tenant account takeover.

MitigationUpgrade Prowler to version 5.30.3 or later. If unable to upgrade immediately, review SAML IdP configurations to ensure only trusted IdPs are permitted and implement additional logging to detect anomalous tenant assignments during SAML authentication.

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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Check Prowler version
    Run 'prowler --version' or check the installed package version (pip show prowler) to compare against version 5.30.3
    Affected if Installed version is lower than 5.30.3
  2. Confirm SAML authentication is enabled
    Inspect Prowler configuration for SAML-related settings (environment variables PROWLER_SAML_*, config file with SAML IdP settings, or authentication method in use)
    Affected if SAML authentication is configured and active
  3. Verify multi-tenant configuration exists
    Review tenant configuration files or environment variables that define multiple tenant domains (such as PROWLER_TENANT_* settings or tenant-specific email domain mappings)
    Affected if More than one tenant with different email domains is configured
  4. Review SAML IdP metadata for tenant assignment logic
    Examine the SAML IdP configuration or metadata to confirm it can assert email addresses from domains belonging to different configured tenants
    Affected if SAML IdP can assert emails from multiple tenant domains

You are affected if Prowler version is below 5.30.3 AND SAML authentication is enabled with multiple tenants configured across different email domains

Interim mitigation

Upgrade Prowler to version 5.30.3 or later. If unable to upgrade immediately, review SAML IdP configurations to ensure only trusted IdPs are permitted and implement additional logging to detect anomalous tenant assignments during SAML authentication.

Recommended fix High confidence

5.30.3

  1. Identify the current Prowler installation method (pip, docker, or git clone)
  2. Check the currently installed version using 'prowler --version' or 'pip show prowler'
  3. For pip installations: run 'pip install --upgrade prowler' to upgrade to the latest version
  4. For docker: pull the latest image with 'docker pull prowlercloud/prowler:latest' and redeploy
  5. For git installations: run 'git fetch --all' followed by 'git checkout <tag>' for version 5.30.3 or later, or 'git pull' if on a branch
  6. Verify the upgrade was successful by checking 'prowler --version' shows 5.30.3 or higher
