CVE detail
CVE-2025-66568
The ruby-saml library implements the client side of an SAML authorization. Versions up to and including 1.12.4, are vulnerable to authentication bypass through the libxml2 canonicalization process used by Nokogiri for document transformation, which allows an attacker to execute a Signature Wrapping attack. When libxml2’s canonicalization is invoked on an invalid XML input, it may return an empty string rather than a canonicalized node. ruby-saml then proceeds to compute the DigestValue over this empty string, treating it as if canonicalization succeeded. This issue is fixed in version 1.18.0.

Researchers have uncovered fresh techniques for breaking SAML-based authentication, further undermining the security assurances offered by the aging by still widely used authentication protocol. SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language) has been the backbone of enterprise single sign-on (SSO) technologies for more than 20 years. During a presentation at the Black Hat Europe conference on Wednesday, […]
