vulnerabilities

CVE-2026-86304: MojoX::Authentication versions before 0.006 for Perl allow SAML authentication bypass because parse_assertion builds Net::SAML2::Binding::POST without a trust anchor

MojoX::Authentication versions before 0.006 for Perl contain a SAML authentication bypass vulnerability (CVE-2026-86304) because the parse_assertion function builds Net::SAML2::Binding::POST without a trust anchor. Applications using affected versions are susceptible to unauthorized access through forged SAML assertions.

Why it matters: Perl developers and system administrators using MojoX::Authentication should upgrade to version 0.006 or later immediately to prevent attackers from bypassing SAML authentication and gaining unauthorized access to applications.
