CVE-2025-25292
Ruby SAML vulnerable to SAML authentication bypass due to namespace handling (parser differential)
02 Description
Ruby SAML vulnerable to SAML authentication bypass due to namespace handling (parser differential)
03 Exploitation and scoring
- Exploitation
- Assessed, none found. CISA's assessment recorded neither public exploit code nor evidence of exploitation when it was made.
- SSVC decision
- ExploitationnoneCISA recorded no public exploit code and no evidence of exploitation.
- AutomatableyesAn attacker can reliably automate reconnaissance through exploitation, so this scales.
- Technical ImpacttotalSuccessful exploitation gives total control of the vulnerable component.
- EPSS probability
- 65.08% probability of exploitation activity in the next 30 days.
- EPSS percentile
- Equal to or higher than the score of 99.1% of scored records. A rank, not a probability.
- NVD base score
- 9.3 (CVSS v4.0), scored by the NVD independently of the CNA.
