CVE-2025-25293
Ruby SAML allows remote Denial of Service (DoS) with compressed SAML responses
Impact
### Summary ruby-saml is susceptible to remote Denial of Service (DoS) with compressed SAML responses. Ruby-saml uses zlib to decompress SAML responses in case they're compressed. It is possible to bypass the message size check with a compressed assertion since the message size is checked before inflation and not after. ### Impact This issue may lead to remote Denial of Service (DoS).
