Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
Spring Security SAML2 Service Provider (org.springframework.security:spring-security-saml2-service-provider) versions 5.7.23 and earlier, 5.8.x through 5.8.25, 6.3.x through 6.3.16, 6.4.x through 6.4.16, 6.5.0 through 6.5.10, and 7.0.0 through 7.0.5 are affected. The library decrypts SAML Responses and parts of LogoutRequests and LogoutResponses without checking a valid signature, so an attacker who can send crafted SAML payloads may be able to use the Service Provider as a decryption oracle. Upgrade to 7.0.6 or 6.5.11, or to the fixed version on your release line.
