What is CVE-2026-41671?

CVE-2026-41671 is a medium-severity authentication bypass vulnerability in admidio, published on 7 May 2026. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.

Official description

Admidio is an open-source user management solution. Prior to version 5.0.9, the OIDC token introspection endpoint (/modules/sso/index.php/oidc/introspect) always returns {"active": true} for every request, regardless of whether a valid token is provided, whether the token is expired, revoked, or completely fabricated. The endpoint performs no authentication of the calling resource server and no validation of the submitted token. Any resource server that relies on this introspection endpoint to validate access tokens will accept all requests as authorized, enabling complete authentication bypass. Additionally, the OIDC token revocation endpoint (/oidc/revoke) returns {"revoked": true} without actually revoking any token, preventing resource servers from invalidating compromised credentials. This issue has been patched in version 5.0.9.

Weakness: CWE-287
