CVE-2021-21238
PySAML2 before 6.5.0 has an improper verification of cryptographic signature vulnerability.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.08%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
PySAML2 is a pure python implementation of SAML Version 2 Standard. PySAML2 before 6.5.0 has an improper verification of cryptographic signature vulnerability. All users of pysaml2 that need to validate signed SAML documents are impacted. The vulnerability is a variant of XML Signature wrapping because it did not validate the SAML document against an XML schema. This allowed invalid XML documents to be processed and such a document can trick pysaml2 with a wrapped signature. This is fixed in PySAML2 6.5.0.
