Sign in as anyone: Bypassing SAML SSO authentication with parser differentials

SAML (more broadly XML-DSIG) is literally the worst security protocol in common use. I think you should generally be taking whatever hits you need to take to transition from it to OAuth. Certainly, I would refuse to bring a new product to market that relied on it. It's incredibly dangerous. Unless there's some breakthrough in practical formal verification, I can't imagine that this will be the last or the worst DSIG vulnerability.

My (possibly misunderstood to the point of misphrasing) understanding, is that SAML still has the point-of-difference that your sso provider can cancel a session. Is that right?
