GHSA-5j8p-438x-rgg5

What to do

Vendor fix available. Upgrade each affected package to the fixed version on its release line (onelogin/php-saml 4.3.1, 3.8.1, 2.21.1), redeploy, then verify what is actually installed.

This page has no inventory attached, so it cannot say whether you are affected. A vendor fix is not proof that your deployment is fixed.

# Patch Next advisory brief: GHSA-5j8p-438x-rgg5

Advisory: SAML PHP Toolkit Vulnerability on xmlseclibs CVE-2025-66475
IDs: GHSA-5j8p-438x-rgg5
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/ghsa-5j8p-438x-rgg5 (revision 1, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 14:35 UTC)
Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected.
Severity: Critical (CVSS 9.3)
Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV.
Vendor response: Vendor fix available; fixed versions by package: onelogin/php-saml 4.3.1, 3.8.1, 2.21.1. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- Packagist onelogin/php-saml: affected < 2.21.1; >= 3.0.0, < 3.8.1; >= 4.0.0, < 4.3.1; fixed in 3.8.1, 4.3.1, 2.21.1

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- Packagist onelogin/php-saml: 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 onelogin/php-saml.
- 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
