No Impact with SAML Vulnerabilities - We've had questions on whether Sumo Logic is vulnerable to any of the following SAML vulnerabilities and we are not:
CVE-2017-11427 - OneLogin’s "python-saml"
CVE-2017-11428 - OneLogin’s "ruby-saml"
CVE-2017-11429 - Clever’s "saml2-js"
CVE-2017-11430 - "OmniAuth-SAML"
CVE-2018-0489 - Shibboleth openSAML C++
We do use opensaml Java, but that was not listed as affected even though the C++ version was listed in the article.
Our Security team performed a manual test and our service handled the XML comment the right way so that it did not truncate the username, which shows that our implementation is NOT affected.
