saml-sso-assertion-attacks

saml-sso-assertion-attacks is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from DorianGallo/hack-skills-local. It costs 44 tokens per session (469 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of saml-sso-assertion-attacks, MIT.

A security testing guide for SAML, a standard that lets an organisation use one login system to access other applications.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to test signature checks, audience and recipient rules, login callback endpoints, identity-provider trust, replay protection, and XML handling.
Why use it?
It helps find mistakes in how applications verify login assertions, which can allow forged, replayed, or misdirected logins.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

saml-sso-assertion-attacks scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 5d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

SKILL: SAML SSO and Assertion Attacks — Signature Validation, Binding, and Trust Confusion

AI LOAD INSTRUCTION: Use this skill when the target uses SAML-based SSO and you need to validate assertion trust: signature coverage, audience and recipient checks, ACS handling, XML parsing weaknesses, and IdP/SP confusion.

1. WHEN TO LOAD THIS SKILL

Load when:

  • Enterprise SSO uses SAML requests or responses
  • You see SAMLRequest, SAMLResponse, XML assertions, or ACS endpoints
  • Login flows involve an external IdP and browser POST/redirect binding

2. HIGH-VALUE MISCONFIGURATION CHECKS

Theme What to Check
signature validation unsigned assertion accepted, wrong node signed, signature wrapping
audience and recipient weak Audience, Recipient, Destination, or ACS validation
issuer trust wrong IdP accepted or multi-tenant issuer confusion
replay and freshness missing InResponseTo, weak NotBefore / NotOnOrAfter enforcement
account mapping email-only binding, case folding, unverified attributes
XML parser behavior XXE-like parser issues or unsafe transforms around SAML documents

3. QUICK TRIAGE

  1. Capture one full login round trip.
  2. Inspect which XML nodes are signed and which attributes drive account binding.
  3. Compare SP-initiated and IdP-initiated flows.
  4. Test replay, altered attributes, and assertion placement confusion.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
