CVE-2026-89043 PUBLISHED

passport-saml-encrypted through 0.1.13 XML Signature Wrapping via Assertion Prepending

Assigner: VulnCheck
Reserved: 10.09.2026 Published: 10.09.2026 Updated: 10.09.2026

passport-saml-encrypted through 0.1.13 contains an XML signature wrapping vulnerability where signature verification and assertion extraction use independent XPath lookups with no cross-validation. Attackers holding any validly signed SAML message can prepend a forged unsigned assertion that gets accepted as the verified identity while the genuine signature validates against the original assertion.
