How to Fix GHSA-5wrg-8fxp-cx9r

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Passport wsfed saml2 dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

passport-wsfed-saml2 fixed: 3.0.10 
npm install passport-wsfed-saml2@3.0.10
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

npm ls passport-wsfed-saml2

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Node.js application is affected by GHSA-5wrg-8fxp-cx9r, inspect your project dependencies using npm:

npm ls passport-wsfed-saml2

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Passport wsfed saml2 in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 3.0.10), your application is affected.

Note: The npm ls passport-wsfed-saml2 command inspects dependencies declared in your package.json and lockfile; it does not perform automated runtime dynamic scanning.

Source Advisory Statement

## Information Please note that this is not a new disclosure, and is previously reported in our [SECURITY-NOTICE.md](https://github.com/auth0/passport-wsfed-saml2/commit/520b9fc0bb4249ce83bec47e30153419f086ab70 ) which we removed in favor of github advisory. # Overview A vulnerability was found in the validation of a SAML signature. The validation doesn't ensure that the "Signature" tag is at the proper location inside an "Assertion" tag. This leads to a signature relocation attack where the attacker can corrupt one field of data while maintaining the signature valid. This could allow an authenticated attacker to "remove" one group from the assertion or corrupt another field of an assertion. # Am I affected? You are affected if you are using the passport-wsfed-saml2 library to version < 3.0.10 # How do I fix it? You may fix this issue by upgrading passport-wsfed-saml2 library to version 3.0.10 or above. # Will the fix impact my users? This fix patches the library that your application runs, but will not impact your users, their current state, or any existing sessions.
