Authentication Bypass for passport-wsfed-saml2

Quick fix

GHSA-ppjq-qxhx-m25f — passport-wsfed-saml2: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.

npm install passport-wsfed-saml2@4.6.3

Details

# Overview A remote attacker can bypass WSFed authentication on a website using passport-wsfed-saml2. A successful attack requires that the attacker is in possession of an arbitrary IDP signed WSFed assertion. Depending on the IDP used, fully unauthenticated attacks (e.g without access to a valid user) might also be feasible if generation of a signed message can be triggered.

# Am I affected? You are affected if you are using WSFed protocol with the passport-wsfed-saml2 library versions < 4.6.3. SAML2 protocol is not affected.

# How do I fix it? Upgrade the library to version 4.6.3.

# Will the fix impact my users? No, the fix will not impact your users.
