AI-suggested

If you cannot patch yet, avoid passing untrusted SAML Responses to new_from_xml or implement additional validation to ensure identity fields are extracted only from the signed assertion subtree. Monitor vendor communications for an official fix or update.

Description

Net::SAML2 versions before 0.86 for Perl contain a vulnerability that allows SAML authentication bypass via XML signature wrapping. The issue arises because the new_from_xml function reads identity fields using document-wide XPath expressions rather than restricting to the signed subtree, enabling attackers to inject unsigned assertions that appear valid. This flaw allows an attacker with a valid IdP-signed assertion to authenticate as any arbitrary user.
