The (1) HttpResource and (2) FileBackedHttpResource implementations in Shibboleth Identity Provider (IdP) before 2.4.1 and OpenSAML Java 2.6.2 do not verify that the server hostname matches a domain name in the subject's Common Name (CN) or subjectAltName field of the X.509 certificate, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof SSL servers via an arbitrary valid certificate.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This flaw lets an attacker on the network impersonate an HTTPS server to affected Shibboleth or OpenSAML Java components. The software accepted any otherwise valid certificate, even when it belonged to a different hostname. That can undermine trusted resource retrieval and create integrity risk for identity infrastructure. Exposure is likely limited to deployments running the affected Shibboleth IdP or OpenSAML Java versions and using these HTTPS resource implementations. Identity-provider environments are business-sensitive, so even constrained exposure deserves priority review. Treat this as high priority for identity infrastructure. There is no sourced evidence of active exploitation, but the weakness can compromise trust in HTTPS resource retrieval and affects authentication-adjacent software. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Shibboleth IdP to 2.4.1 or later.; Upgrade OpenSAML Java to 2.6.2 or later.; Confirm packaged dependencies do not retain older OpenSAML Java versions..
