CVE-2026-86304MojoX::Authentication versions before 0.006 for Perl allow SAML authentication bypass because parse_assertion builds Net::SAML2::Binding:
OST without a trust anchor.parse_assertion in MojoX::Authentication::Model::SAML2 calls Net::SAML2::Binding:
OST->new with no cacert, cert_text or anchors argument, then passes the returned XML to Net::SAML2:rotocol::Assertion->new_from_xml with the IdP signing certificate as cacert. In Net::SAML2 before 0.86 that certificate guards only encrypted assertions, so the signature on an unencrypted assertion is checked against the certificate the response itself carries.An attacker starts a SAML login, then posts a response signed with a certificate of their own. The audience, InResponseTo and timestamp checks that follow are all satisfiable by the attacker, so the response authenticates any NameID it carries.
