# CVE-2026-12704: SAML assertion replay via skipped InResponseTo validation

- Severity: CVSS 6.8 (Medium), CNA
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N
- CISA SSVC: exploitation=none, automatable=no, technicalImpact=total
- Known exploited (CISA KEV): no
- Published: 2026-09-02 · Updated: 2026-09-03

## Affected

- Grafana Grafana Enterprise: from 11.6.0, through 11.6.17; from 12.2.0, through 12.2.11; from 12.3.0, through 12.3.11; from 12.4.0, through 12.4.10; from 13.0.0, through 13.0.7; from 13.1.0, through 13.1.4; 13.2.0 only

## Description

When SAML IdP-initiated login is enabled in Grafana Enterprise, the SAML library skips validation of the InResponseTo field on all SAML responses, including SP-initiated logins. This removes anti-replay protection, allowing an attacker who obtains a valid signed SAML assertion to replay it and gain a session as the victim user. Only instances with the allow_idp_initiated SAML setting enabled are affected; this setting is off by default and Grafana OSS is not affected.

## What to do
