CVE-2015-6254
Description
A flaw was found in the way PicketLink's Service Provider (SP) and Identity Provider (IdP) handled certain requests. The SP and IdP in PicketLink before 2.7.0 does not ensure that the Destination attribute in a Response element in the SAML assertion matches the location from which the message was received. This flaw allows a remote attacker to log into a victim's account via PicketLink.
Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details
Info alert:Important note
CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).
