• CVE-2025-24895: 0.61% estimated exploitation activity in the next 30 days; percentile 49.08 (FIRST EPSS, 2026-11-03). This is a model estimate, not proof of exploitation or customer exposure.

As published by the source; long descriptions are shortened.

Description Authentication using Spid and CIE is based on the SAML2 standard which provides for two entities: Identity Provider (IdP): the system that authenticates users and provides identity information ( SAML assertions ) to the Service Provider, essentially, it is responsible for managing user credentials and identity; Service Provider (SP): The system that provides a service to the user and relies on the Identity Provider to authenticate the user, receives SAML assertions from the IdP to grant access to resources. The library cie-aspnetcorerefers to the second entity, i.e. the SP, and implements the validation logic of the SAML assertions present within the SAML response . The following is a summary diagram of an authentication flow via SAML: As shown in the diagram, the IdP, after verifying the user's credentials, generates a signed SAML response, this is propagated to the SP by the user's browser and the SP, after verifying the signature, can extract the data needed to build…

# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2025-24895

Advisory: AspNetCore Remote Authenticator for CIE3.0 Allows SAML Response Signature Verification Bypass
IDs: CVE-2025-24895, GHSA-vq63-8f72-f486
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2025-24895 (revision 1, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 17:03 UTC)
Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected.
Severity: Critical (CVSS 9.1)
Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV.
Vendor response: Vendor fix available; fixed versions by package: cie.aspnetcore.authentication 2.1.0. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- NuGet cie.aspnetcore.authentication: affected <= 2.0.4; fixed in 2.1.0

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- NuGet cie.aspnetcore.authentication: check the installed version with your package manager.

## Supported action
Upgrade each affected component to a fixed version on its release line. For a transitive dependency, upgrade the parent package or add an override or constraint, then regenerate the lockfile. Redeploy every environment that ran an affected version.

## Required regression checks
- Run the test suite and a production build.
- Exercise the features that depend on cie.aspnetcore.authentication.
- Repeat the inspection and confirm that only fixed versions remain installed.

## Rollback considerations
- Keep the previous lockfile and deployment artifact. Rolling back reinstates the vulnerable version, so apply any documented mitigation while you fix forward.

## Unresolved questions
- Which deployments run an affected version?
- Exploitation status can change. Check again before lowering the priority.
- Mark the work resolved only after the fixed version is verified in production.

## Sources
- Verified: https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-vq63-8f72-f486 (GitHub-reviewed advisory GHSA-vq63-8f72-f486 lists affected ranges: NuGet cie.aspnetcore.authentication >=0 <=2.0.4)
