Description
## Summary 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). ## Impact An attacker is able to send specially crafted messages to any entity relying on SimpleSAMLphp (or directly on this SAML2-library) to be able to perform a Denial-of-Service attack.
