CVE-2026-86304 (2026-09-06)

MojoX::Authentication versions before 0.006 for Perl allow SAML authentication bypass because parse_assertion builds Net::SAML2::Binding::POST without a trust anchor. parse_assertion in MojoX::Authentication::Model::SAML2 calls Net::SAML2::Binding::POST->new with no cacert, cert_text or anchors argument, then passes the returned XML to Net::SAML2::Protocol::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.

NAME

MojoX::Authentication::Model::Role::Creator;

SYNOPSIS

package Some::Class;
use Moo;
use constant DEFAULT_NAME => 'foobar';
with 'MojoX::Authentication::Model::Role::Creator';
sub create ($self, $config, %args) {
   %args = $self->_create_args(DEFAULT_NAME, $config, %args);
   ...
}
...

DESCRIPTION

Role to ease merging of $config into %args, preserving the name key if present or using a default. There is only a private method _create_args that is supposed to be called inside the create method of relevant classes, so it's only of interest for anybody implementing new providers.

INTERFACE

_create_args

%args = $provider->_create_args($default_name, $config, %args);

This method is assumed to be called inside the create method for one of the provider implementations. See MojoX::Authentication::Model::Hash for an example of usage.

This is a private method and it's not meant to be called by clients of the object.
