Vulnerability CVE-2018-7644


Published: 2018-03-05

Description:
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.

Type:

CWE-347

(Improper Verification of Cryptographic Signature)
