pac4j-saml before 6.5.6 Session Destruction via Unsigned LogoutRequest

Published Aug 29, 2026 CVSS 4.0 · 6.9 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
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.
