CVE-2026-54781
CoreWCF is a port of the service side of Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) to .NET Core. Prior to 1.8.1 and 1.9.1, CoreWCF SAML token validation does not enforce SubjectConfirmation method URIs or holder-of-key proof keys in SamlSecurityTokenHandler, allowing holder-of-key downgrade or custom confirmation method assertions to authenticate a subject without proving authority over the assertion. This issue is fixed in versions 1.8.1 and 1.9.1.
CVSS
- Versión: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N
- Puntuación base: 7.4
Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)
- Probabilidad de explotación en los próximos 30 días: 0.25%
- Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 15
- Fecha de la puntuación: 6/10/2026
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, de FIRST) estima la probabilidad de que una vulnerabilidad sea explotada en 30 días. Complementa a CVSS (impacto) y a CISA KEV (explotación confirmada).
🎯 Técnicas ATT&CK
Cómo se explota esta vulnerabilidad y qué consigue el atacante, en el lenguaje de MITRE ATT&CK.
- Explotación
T1190Exploit Public-Facing Applicationinitial access85 % - Impacto principal
T1078Valid Accountsstealth · persistence · privilege escalation · initial access90 % - Impacto secundario
T1556Modify Authentication Processdefense impairment · persistence · credential access80 %
CoreWCF no valida correctamente SubjectConfirmation en tokens SAML, permitiendo autenticación sin proof of authority. Acceso remoto sin privilegios previos (AV:N, PR:N). Impacto: obtención de acceso con credenciales válidas (T1078) y manipulación de mecanismo de autenticación (T1556).
Inferido por nuestro agente de análisis a partir de la descripción oficial, el vector CVSS y la CWE, y comprobado por un supervisor. Puede contener errores.
