SAML Single Sign On <= 5.4.3 - Unauthenticated Authentication Bypass via 'SAMLResponse' Parameter Signature Algorithm Confusion

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 secret and validate the forged signature against it. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to forge a SAML assertion targeting any WordPress account — including administrators — obtain valid WordPress authentication cookies, and achieve full administrator-level account takeover.
