Last modified

CVE-2026-54774 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.4/10 on the CVSS scale. 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, SamlSerializer skips final SignatureValue verification when a CoreWCF service validates SAML tokens using a non-X.509 signing token, allowing an attacker to reference a non-X.509 SecurityToken key identifier and bypass assertion signature verification. EPSS estimates a 0.15% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
