Generated using AI and has not been reviewed by Intruder. May contain errors.

CVE-2025-25292 is an authentication bypass vulnerability found in the ruby-saml library, which is used by GitLab for SAML single sign-on (SSO). The vulnerability exists due to a parser differential between ReXML and Nokogiri, which can lead to different document structures being generated from the same XML input. This difference in parsing allows an attacker with a valid signed SAML document to potentially execute a Signature Wrapping attack and authenticate as another valid user within the SAML Identity Provider (IdP) environment. The vulnerability affects GitLab CE/EE versions 17.9.0, 17.9.1, 17.8.0, 17.8.1, 17.8.2, 17.8.3, 17.8.4, 17.7.0, 17.7.1, 17.7.2, 17.7.3, 17.7.4, 17.7.5, 17.7.6, and below. Patches are available in versions 1.12.4 and 1.18.0 of ruby-saml and GitLab CE/EE versions 17.7.7, 17.8.5, and 17.9.2.

Description
ruby-saml provides security assertion markup language (SAML) single sign-on (SSO) for Ruby. An authentication bypass vulnerability was found in ruby-saml prior to versions 1.12.4 and 1.18.0 due to a parser differential. ReXML and Nokogiri parse XML differently, the parsers can generate entirely different document structures from the same XML input. That allows an attacker to be able to execute a Signature Wrapping attack. This issue may lead to authentication bypass. Versions 1.12.4 and 1.18.0 contain a patch for the issue.
