CVE-2022-39299 Open this link in a new tabHow to fix?
Upgrade passport-saml to version 3.2.2 or higher.
Overview
passport-saml is an authentication provider for Passport, the Node.js authentication library.
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Verification of Cryptographic Signature by allowing a remote attacker to bypass SAML authentication on a website using passport-saml.
Note A successful attack requires that the attacker is in possession of an arbitrary IDP-signed XML element. Depending on the IDP used, fully unauthenticated attacks (e.g, without access to a valid user) might also be feasible if the generation of a signed message can be triggered.
Workaround
Users who are unable to upgrade to the fixed version should disable SAML authentication.
