Hackers target WordPress sites in miniOrange auth bypass attacks

Attackers are probing WordPress installations for two critical authentication bypass flaws in the miniOrange Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) 2.0 SSO plugin that allow forged SAML responses and admin-level login. The vulnerabilities affect the plugin’s handling of SAML assertions and can be triggered remotely without credentials. Security teams should verify plugin versions and apply any available patches or mitigations.

Why it matters: WordPress administrators using the miniOrange SAML 2.0 SSO plugin risk admin account takeover via forged SAML responses and should immediately check plugin versions and apply patches.
