Summary

Rocket.Chat's SAML SSO verified XML signatures but did not bind the validated signature to samlp:Response / saml:Assertion. An attacker could submit a wrapped document carrying forged identity attributes alongside any valid signature made by the trusted IdP certificate, and log in as an arbitrary user.
