SCA: security update for simplesamlphp/saml2, simplesamlphp/xml-security (GHSA-ww7x-3gxh-qm6r)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 420149

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - xml-security is a library that implements XML signatures and encryption. Validation of an XML signature
 requires verification that the hash value of the related XML-document matches a specific DigestValue-
 value, but also that the cryptographic signature on the SignedInfo-tree (the one that contains the
 DigestValue) verifies and matches a trusted public key. If an attacker somehow (i.e. by exploiting a bug
 in PHP's canonicalization function) manages to manipulate the canonicalized version's DigestValue, it
 would be possible to forge the signature. This issue has been patched in version 1.6.12 and
 5.0.0-alpha.13. (CVE-2023-49087)
