Summary
Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security for Kubernetes (RHACS) 4.10 and 4.11 are affected. The Central SAML authentication endpoint does not retain used SAML assertion or response identifiers, so it does not block replay (CWE-294). An attacker who obtains a valid, unexpired signed SAML response can submit it multiple times and receive distinct Central authentication tokens for the mapped identity.
