Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
Robrichards/xmlseclibs versions before 3.1.5 do not validate the length of the authentication tag when decrypting XML nodes encrypted with AES-GCM (128, 192, or 256-bit). An attacker who can supply encrypted XML to a service that decrypts it, such as a SAML service provider, can brute-force the tag and recover the GHASH key, which allows decrypting data and forging ciphertexts. Upgrade to version 3.1.5 or later, and rotate any static symmetric keys that may have been exposed.
