CVE-2017-11428 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. OneLogin Ruby-SAML 1.6.0 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.. EPSS estimates a 2.51% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
