CVE-2017-11427: Python-saml allows manipulation of SAML data without invalidation of cryptographic signature

July 5, 2019 (updated October 25, 2024)

OneLogin PythonSAML 2.3.0 and earlier may incorrectly utilize the results of XML DOM traversal and canonicalization APIs in such a way that an attacker may be able to manipulate the SAML data without invalidating the cryptographic signature, allowing the attack to potentially bypass authentication to SAML service providers.
