NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream gitlab-rails-ee-fips-17.2 package and not the gitlab-rails-ee-fips-17.2 package as distributed by Chainguard. See How to fix? for Chainguard relevant fixed versions and status.

The Ruby SAML library is for implementing the client side of a SAML authorization. Ruby-SAML in <= 12.2 and 1.13.0 <= 1.16.0 does not properly verify the signature of the SAML Response. An unauthenticated attacker with access to any signed saml document (by the IdP) can thus forge a SAML Response/Assertion with arbitrary contents. This would allow the attacker to log in as arbitrary user within the vulnerable system. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.17.0 and 1.12.3.
