Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Improper Verification of Cryptographic Signature (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-7644)

CWE-ID: CWE-347 - Improper Verification of Cryptographic Signature

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to manipulate data.

The XmlSecLibs library as used in the saml2 library in SimpleSAMLphp before 1.15.3 incorrectly verifies signatures on SAML assertions, allowing a remote attacker to construct a crafted SAML assertion on behalf of an Identity Provider that would pass as cryptographically valid, thereby allowing them to impersonate a user from that Identity Provider, aka a key confusion issue.
