- No exploitation in the wild and no public exploit is recorded for the CVEs named.
Siemens ProductCERT disclosed a vulnerability (CVE-2026-80465) in the Mendix SAML module affecting versions used with Mendix 9.24, 10, and 11. The flaw stems from improper verification of the SAML response's cryptographic signature (CWE-347), which could allow an unauthenticated remote attacker to forge or manipulate SAML assertions and hijack a user's session in specific single sign-on (SSO) configurations.
Affected versions are Mendix SAML (Mendix 10/11 compatible) prior to V4.2.3, and Mendix SAML (Mendix 9.24 compatible) prior to V3.6.27. Siemens has released fixed versions and recommends all users update via the Mendix Marketplace. There is no indication in this advisory of active exploitation in the wild; this is a vendor-disclosed vulnerability reported through Siemens ProductCERT and republished by CISA as ICSA-26-258-06 (Siemens SSA-887643).
Defenders using Mendix applications with SAML-based SSO should prioritize upgrading to the fixed versions (V4.2.3+ or V3.6.27+ as applicable), audit SSO configurations for exposure, and apply standard ICS network segmentation practices (isolating control system networks, avoiding direct internet exposure, and using VPNs for remote access) as general defense-in-depth measures.

What this brief leaves out
This page is the free tier: the write-up, the severity, the names. In the app the same report carries live profiles of the CVEs it names. The paid plans add the security research and news reporting the free tier leaves out.
It sits in a corpus of 16,445 reports from 149 sources, 666 of them written in the last seven days, and it grows through the day.
A new account starts with three days of all of it, no card, then keeps the government and CERT reporting free. Slack alerts are a paid-plan feature: name the vendors you run and Slack hears about the reports that touch them, not the rest of the week's. Nothing is charged unless you subscribe.
