Summary
Siemens Mendix SAML (Mendix 10 compatible) and Mendix SAML (Mendix 11 compatible) versions before V4.2.4, and Mendix SAML (Mendix 9 compatible) versions before V3.6.29, are affected. The module does not properly protect against SAML assertion replay in IdP-initiated authentication flows (CWE-294). An unauthenticated remote attacker can gain unauthorized access to the application by replaying a valid SAML response.
