SCA: security update for org.keycloak:keycloak-saml-core (GHSA-xgfv-xpx8-qhcr)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 420487

Description

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

 - A flaw exists in the SAML signature validation method within the Keycloak XMLSignatureUtil class. The
 method incorrectly determines whether a SAML signature is for the full document or only for specific
 assertions based on the position of the signature in the XML document, rather than the Reference element
 used to specify the signed element. This flaw allows attackers to create crafted responses that can bypass
 the validation, potentially leading to privilege escalation or impersonation attacks. (CVE-2024-8698)
