Upgrade pysaml2 to version 6.5.0 or higher.
Overview
pysaml2 is a Python implementation of SAML Version 2 Standard.
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Insecure Defaults. It does not ensure that a signed SAML document is correctly signed. The default CryptoBackendXmlSec1 backend is using the xmlsec1 binary to verify the signature of signed SAML documents, but by default, xmlsec1 accepts any type of key found within the given document.
