--- type: Slides title: How to break SAML if I have paws? description: A practical attack methodology for SAML single sign-on. It fingerprints an implementation from the SAMLRequest and metadata, forges a SAMLResponse from scratch, and defeats signature validation through missing Signature tags, self-signed certificates trusted from KeyInfo, and .NET dupe key confusion. XML DSig reference dereferencing and transforms such as base64, XPath and XSLT then yield SSRF, XXE and remote code execution, before ACS spoofing and multi-tenant IdP confusion. resource: "https://speakerdeck.com/greendog/how-to-break-saml-if-i-have-paws" tags: [slides, webseclist-reference, en, speaker-deck, saml, sso, auth-bypass, xxe, ssrf, xss, injection, rce, java, survey, owasp-a01-2021, owasp-a03-2021, owasp-a07-2021, owasp-a10-2021] generated: by: webseclist-refs/1 at: "2026-08-10T16:00:45+00:00" status: stable stale_after: 2027-08-10 sources: - id: original resource: "https://speakerdeck.com/greendog/how-to-break-saml-if-i-have-paws" title: How to break SAML if I have paws? author: "Aleksei \"GreenDog\" Tiurin" last_modified: 2023-09-21 also_at: [] authors: - "Aleksei \"GreenDog\" Tiurin" canonical_url: "" cited_by: - "2023.md:43" commit: "" content_sha256: 995799a7cf3383cfac1c38cc13a742e7fb2e2d69754f4ba9217e272708a91f91 depth: full depth_reason: default kind: slides language: en licence: unknown original_url: "https://speakerdeck.com/greendog/how-to-break-saml-if-i-have-paws" published: 2023-09-21 publisher: Speaker Deck publisher_english: "" raw_sha256: 3b63e5e4f7396658aa8bcc191ec805b9f8620ef4eaa0f5728b3a20679a3e2f36 retrieved_from: "https://speakerdeck.com/greendog/how-to-break-saml-if-i-have-paws" retrieved_kind: live retrieved_utc: "2026-08-10T16:00:45+00:00" slug: 2023-speaker-deck-how-break-saml-if-i-have-paws snapshot: "" title_english: "" translation_file: "" translation_of: "" --- # How to break SAML if I have paws? **How to break SAML if I have paws?** - Aleksei "GreenDog" Tiurin, Speaker Deck. - Published: 2023-09-21 - Original: - Preserved from: https://speakerdeck.com/greendog/how-to-break-saml-if-i-have-paws (live) on 2026-08-10 - Licence: unknown Rights remain with the original author and publisher.

Overview of "how to hack SAML" from a security conference - KazHackStan [https://kazhackstan.com/en/](https://kazhackstan.com/en/) In this talk, we will figure out how to break Single Sign On(SSO) based on SAML. Let's look at the components of SAML and the associated attack vectors, current vulnerabilities and methods of their exploitation. Everything a pentester needs to pohakat SAML without soiling the fur. ![Avatar for GreenDog](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/0eb5ff24722856be0e9c4f66faf363be?s=128) ##
