CVE-2026-123798
What it is
SuperTokens Core is an open source authentication server. From 11.3.0 until 11.3.7, 11.4.7, and 12.0.10, SAML.verifySamlResponseSignature calls OpenSAML SignatureValidator.validate without first applying SAMLSignatureProfileValidator. The Core can therefore accept a cryptographically valid signature that references a different XML element from the Response or Assertion whose NameID and attributes are used for authentication. An ordinary user of the configured identity provider can move a genuinely signed element elsewhere in the document while supplying an attacker-authored identity-bearing element, causing XML Signature Wrapping authentication as another IdP user. Both response-level and assertion-level signing paths are affected, and SP-initiated login remains reachable without enabling allowIDPInitiatedLogin. This issue is fixed in versions 11.3.7, 11.4.7, and 12.0.10.
