AI risk analysis
- Summary
- The flaw allows an attacker to gain access to a local user's Joplin account by exploiting SAML authentication, potentially leading to unauthorized access or modifications of notes and settings.
- Exploitability
- Exploitation requires control over an IdP session asserting a local user’s email, making it moderately difficult but feasible in mixed authentication deployments.
- Blast radius
- If exploited, the impact is high as it can lead to full access to sensitive data and configurations of affected users without needing their password.
- Prioritized remediation
- Update Joplin Server to version 3.7.2 or later to mitigate this vulnerability.

NVD description
Joplin is an open source note-taking and to-do application that organises notes and lists into notebooks. Prior to 3.7.2, Joplin Server's UserModel.ssoLogin() returns an existing account matched by an IdP-asserted email without checking the account's is_external flag. In deployments using mixed local and SAML authentication, an attacker whose IdP session can assert a local user's email can pass POST /api/saml, receive a session for that local account, and access or modify the victim's notes, files, and settings without knowing the local password. This issue is fixed in version 3.7.2.
