CVE-2015-0277
The Service Provider (SP) in PicketLink before 2.7.0 does not ensure that it is a member of an Audience element when an AudienceRestriction is specified, which allows remote attackers to log in to other users' accounts via a crafted SAML assertion.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.96%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
