XML signature verification bypass due improper verification of signature / signature spoofing

Summary

XML signature verification bypass due improper verification of signature / signature spoofing

Original description

The description as published by the source.

xml-crypto is an xml digital signature and encryption library for Node.js. In affected versions the default configuration does not check authorization of the signer, it only checks the validity of the signature per section 3.2.2 of the w3 xmldsig-core-20080610 spec. As such, without additional validation steps, the default configuration allows a malicious actor to re-sign an XML document, place the certificate in a element, and pass `xml-crypto` default validation checks. As a result `xml-crypto` trusts by default any certificate provided via digitally signed XML document's. xml-crypto prefers to use any certificate provided via digitally signed XML document's even if library was configured to use specific certificate (`publicCert`) for signature verification purposes. An attacker can spoof signature verification by modifying XML document and replacing existing signature with signature generated with malicious private key (created by attacker) and by attaching that private key's certificate to element. This vulnerability is combination of changes introduced to 4.0.0 on pull request 301 / commit c2b83f98 and has been addressed in version 6.0.0 with pull request 445 / commit 21201723d. Users are advised to upgrade. Users unable to upgrade may either check the certificate extracted via getCertFromKeyInfo against trusted certificates before accepting the results of the validation or set xml-crypto's getCertFromKeyInfo to () => undefined forcing `xml-cry…
