SAML authentication vulnerability due to stdlib XML parsing

Published: 2/11/2022Modified: 3/13/2026

Description

### Impact Due to issues in Go's standard library XML parsing, a valid SAML response may be mutated by an attacker to modify the trusted document. This can result in allowing unverified logins from a SAML IdP. Users that configure Fleet with SSO login may be vulnerable to this issue. ### Patches This issue is patched in 3.5.1 using https://github.com/mattermost/xml-roundtrip-validator. ### Workarounds If upgrade to 3.5.1 is not possible, users should disable SSO authentication in Fleet. ### References See https://mattermost.com/blog/coordinated-disclosure-go-xml-vulnerabilities/ for more information about the underlying vulnerabilities. ### For more information If you have any questions or comments about this advisory: * Email us at [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]) * Join #fleet in [osquery Slack](https://join.slack.com/t/osquery/shared_invite/zt-h29zm0gk-s2DBtGUTW4CFel0f0IjTEw)
