Attack profile from CVSS 3.1 · CNA. Fix status from CNA. Impact type from CWE-294.
Summary
GPUStack from 0.7.1 before 2.2.2 is affected. Its /auth/saml/callback endpoint accepts SAML responses without verifying their signature (CWE-347), so the identity inside a response is trusted. An unauthenticated remote attacker can sign in as any existing user, including an administrator, or create a non-administrator account, even when SAML is not configured. Captured signed responses can also be replayed.

Description from the CNA
GPUStack is an open-source GPU cluster manager for AI model serving and GPU instance provisioning. From 0.7.1 until 2.2.2, the /auth/saml/callback endpoint decoded SAML XML, used its NameID and attributes to resolve or provision a user, and minted a gpustack_session JWT without calling OneLogin_Saml2_Auth.process_response to verify the signature, issuer, audience, destination, or time conditions. Any network client could submit an identity for an existing user, including an administrator, or provision a new non-administrator account, even when SAML was not configured. Response and Assertion identifiers were not consumed, so captured signed responses could also be replayed. This issue is fixed in version 2.2.2.
