SCA: security update for ruby-saml (GHSA-754f-8gm6-c4r2)

critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 421110

Description

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

- ruby-saml provides security assertion markup language (SAML) single sign-on (SSO) for Ruby. An
authentication bypass vulnerability was found in ruby-saml prior to versions 1.12.4 and 1.18.0 due to a
parser differential. ReXML and Nokogiri parse XML differently, the parsers can generate entirely different
document structures from the same XML input. That allows an attacker to be able to execute a Signature
Wrapping attack. This issue may lead to authentication bypass. Versions 1.12.4 and 1.18.0 contain a patch
for the issue. (CVE-2025-25292)
