Description

Summary

An authentication bypass vulnerability was found in ruby-saml due to a parser differential. ReXML and Nokogiri parse XML differently, the parsers can generate entirely different document structures from the same XML input. That allows an attacker to be able to execute a Signature Wrapping attack.

Impact

This issue may lead to authentication bypass.

CWEs

  • CWE-347 · Improper Verification of Cryptographic Signature
