    SignXML's signature verification with HMAC is vulnerable to an algorithm confusion attack

    CVE-2025-48994 · GHSA-6vx8-pcwv-xhf4

    Affected
    • PyPI signxml < 4.0.4
    Fixed in
    4.0.4· Vendor fix available
    Issue
    When verifying signatures with X509 certificate validation turned off and HMAC shared secret set (signxml.XMLVerifier.verify(requirex509=False, hmackey=...), prior versions of SignXML are vulnerable to a potential algorithm confusion attack. Unless the user explicitly limits the expected signature algorithms using the signxml.XMLVerifier.verify(expectconfig=...) setting, an attacker may supply a signature unexpectedly signed with a key other than the provided HMAC key, using a different (asymmetric key) signature algorithm. Starting with signxml 4.0.4, specifying hmackey causes the set of accepted signature algorithms to be restricted to HMAC only, if not already restricted by the user.

    Recommended action: Upgrade to 4.0.4 or later, then redeploy and verify.A vendor fix does not resolve your finding until you verify it in your own systems.

    SignXML's signature verification with HMAC is vulnerable to a timing attack

    CVE-2025-48995 · GHSA-gmhf-gg8w-jw42

    Affected
    • PyPI signxml < 4.0.4
    Fixed in
    4.0.4· Vendor fix available
    Issue
    When verifying signatures with X509 certificate validation turned off and HMAC shared secret set (signxml.XMLVerifier.verify(requirex509=False, hmackey=...), prior versions of SignXML are vulnerable to a potential timing attack. The verifier may leak information about the correct HMAC when comparing it with the user supplied hash, allowing users to reconstruct the correct HMAC for any data.

    Recommended action: Upgrade to 4.0.4 or later, then redeploy and verify.A vendor fix does not resolve your finding until you verify it in your own systems.
