20. SAML / SSO ATTACKS

SSO bugs frequently pay High–Critical. XML parsers are notoriously inconsistent.

Attack Surface

# Find SAML endpoints
cat recon/$TARGET/urls.txt | grep -iE "saml|sso|login.*redirect|oauth|idp|sp"
# Key endpoints: /saml/acs (assertion consumer service), /sso/saml, /auth/saml/callback

Attack 1: XML Signature Wrapping (XSW)

<!-- BEFORE: valid assertion by user@company.com -->
<saml:Response>
  <saml:Assertion ID="legit">
    <NameID>user@company.com</NameID>
    <ds:Signature><!-- Valid, covers ID=legit --></ds:Signature>
  </saml:Assertion>
</saml:Response>
