pac4j-saml before 6.5.6 does not require signature validation of SAML LogoutRequest messages in SAML2LogoutValidator.validateLogoutRequest(). When an IdP sends no SessionIndex, a session can be destroyed based solely on the NameID, allowing an unauthenticated attacker to submit an unsigned LogoutRequest with a guessed identifier (e.g., an email address used as NameID) to terminate a victim's SAML session.
AnalysisAI
Session termination via unsigned SAML LogoutRequest in pac4j-saml before 6.5.6 allows unauthenticated remote attackers to destroy any active SAML session by submitting a forged, unsigned LogoutRequest containing a guessed NameID (e.g., an email address used as the SAML subject identifier) when the IdP omits a SessionIndex. The root cause is that SAML2LogoutValidator.validateLogoutRequest() did not enforce signature validation in this code path, permitting the NameID alone to trigger session destruction without any cryptographic proof of IdP origin. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires that the target application uses pac4j-saml in a version prior to 6.5.6 and has a SAML Single Logout (SLO) endpoint exposed. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N, score 6.9) accurately reflects the attack surface: network-reachable, zero authentication, low complexity, but limited in impact to vulnerable-system availability (session termination). … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | Upgrade pac4j-saml to version 6.5.6 or later; the vendor-released patch is confirmed via the advisory at https://www.pac4j.org/blog/security-advisory-pac4j-core-oidc-saml.html and the fix commit at https://github.com/pac4j/pac4j/commit/2270c3ff70e93cc43831e75702acd5135531237e. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
