CVE-2026-49289: SimpleSAMLphp has Possible DoS via XPath Transform

July 2, 2026

This library turned out to be vulnerable to Denial-of-Service attacks using XPath transforms. A mitigation has been put in place to restrict the number of transforms and to restrict transforms to only the transform-algorithms mentioned in the SAML 2.0 Core Specifications (and specifically refuse XPath transforms).
