Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Behavior Changes
    • Validation now requires a nonempty expected audience and accepts only exact audience matches; prefix matches are rejected.
    • Invalid signatures now cause validateSignature to throw an error. On success, it returns the verified signed XML.
  • Compatibility
    • Removed legacy APIs, including parse, decryptXml, and PubKeyInfo. Deep imports are no longer exposed; use the package’s supported exports.
  • Documentation
    • Updated the README with validation guidance, migration notes, and bug-report instructions.

parse() returned a profile without checking the signature, expiry,
audience or anything else, so its output could be forged. It has been
deprecated in favour of validate() and Polis does not use it.

The tests that went through parse() now go through validate() on signed
documents (status code, non-XML input, DTD, missing assertion, missing
Version, attribute mapping, createSAMLResponse round trips), or are
dropped where they only covered the unverified path. The
createSAMLResponse round trips sign with the test IdP key, since the
Okta test certificate does not verify.

BREAKING CHANGE: parse() is no longer exported from the package root or
from dist/response. Use validate(), and parseIssuer() to read the Issuer
before validating.

…root

Both are internal helpers for validate() and sign(), and Polis does not
use them. They stay exported from dist/decrypt and dist/cert, which the
rest of the library imports.

BREAKING CHANGE: decryptXml and PubKeyInfo are no longer on the default
export or the named exports of the package root.

validateSignature() does the same check and also rejects being given
both a certificate and a thumbprint. The verification itself stays, as a
module-private function that validateSignature() calls after
sanitizeXML(), exactly as before.

BREAKING CHANGE: dist/validateSignature no longer exports
hasValidSignature. Use validateSignature().

The previous commit left the validateSignature export list short enough
to fit on one line.

It is an internal helper of parseFromString and was deprecated. Callers
that need to recognise a multi-rooted document can compare against the
multiRootedXMLError error, which is still exported.

BREAKING CHANGE: dist/utils no longer exports isMultiRootedXMLError.

The export list now describes 2.0.0 rather than 1.21.0, and a new block
pins what 2.0.0 removed on purpose (parse, decryptXml and PubKeyInfo
from the root, parse from dist/response, isMultiRootedXMLError from
dist/utils, hasValidSignature from dist/validateSignature), so none of
them comes back by accident. Run against the 1.22.0 lib/, that block
fails all 4 cases.

Without strictAudienceValidation, validateAudience accepted any Audience
that merely started with the expected value, so an assertion issued for
https://sp.example.com/metadata.evil.example passed for
https://sp.example.com/metadata. Audiences are now always compared
exactly, and the option that opted into that is gone.

A list of expected audiences still works: each AudienceRestriction must
name one of them exactly.

The suffix tests now assert rejection, and new signed-response tests
cover the prefix cases through validate(); two of them fail on the
previous code. index.spec.ts pins the removed option with
@ts-expect-error.

BREAKING CHANGE: ValidateOptions.strictAudienceValidation is removed
and saml20.validateAudience() no longer takes a third argument. An
Audience must equal the expected audience, or one of the expected
audiences, exactly. If you relied on a prefix match, pass every
accepted audience in `audience`.

package.json gets an exports map with "." (types first, then the CJS
build) and "./package.json". Paths inside the package, such as
@boxyhq/saml20/dist/typings, now fail to resolve with
ERR_PACKAGE_PATH_NOT_EXPORTED in Node, and with TS2307 under
moduleResolution node16, nodenext or bundler. TypeScript's node10
resolution ignores the map.

Every module under dist/ used to be public, so compat.spec.ts pinned the
exports of 13 modules. It now pins the package root only: the named
exports and the default export must each be exactly the API list, so an
addition or removal shows up as a test change. It also checks the
exports map and, through a self-reference, that an internal module
cannot be resolved. Both of those fail without the map.

Checked against an npm pack of this commit: require() and ESM import of
the root work, require of dist/typings throws
ERR_PACKAGE_PATH_NOT_EXPORTED, and root type imports compile under
node10, node16 and bundler resolution.

BREAKING CHANGE: only the package root and package.json can be
imported. Import types such as SAMLProfile from '@boxyhq/saml20'
instead of '@boxyhq/saml20/dist/typings'.

It existed only for callers importing dist/validateSignature, which the
exports map now blocks. The package root takes certToPEM from cert
directly, so the public API is unchanged.

Leaving `audience` out skipped the audience check, so a signed assertion
the IdP issued for any other service provider was accepted. validate()
now rejects with "audience is required." when audience is missing, an
empty string, an empty list, or a list with a non-string or empty entry,
before any signature work. The audience check then always runs.

New tests cover each missing shape (all 5 fail on the previous code),
and index.spec.ts pins the required property with @ts-expect-error. The
existing validate() calls now pass the audience their fixture was issued
for (encrypted Okta and OneLogin fixtures: https://saml.boxyhq.com), and
the unhandled-rejection sweep gives every case an audience so each one
still fails for its own reason, plus a case without one.

BREAKING CHANGE: ValidateOptions.audience is required. Pass the SP
entity ID, or a list of accepted ones.

validateSignature() had two failure modes: it threw for a document it
could not check (a disallowed algorithm, too many References, no
Signature, untrusted rotation certificates) and returned null for a
signature that did not verify. A caller that only handled one of them
could treat a bad signature as good. It now returns the signed XML or
throws, with "invalid signature: the signature does not verify" for the
null case.

validate() keeps the old two-way contract through the module-private
verifySignature(): it retries on the original document (for IdPs that
sign after encrypting) only when the signature does not verify, so its
behaviour and error messages are unchanged.

BREAKING CHANGE: validateSignature() no longer returns null. Wrap it in
try/catch instead of checking the return value.

…onseAndVersion

parseResponseAndVersion only ever receives what the signature covers,
and validateSignature returns the signed Reference: a Response or an
Assertion, never a WS-Trust RequestSecurityTokenResponse. The branch
could not be reached, which branch coverage showed (response.ts goes
from 92.94% to 95.12% branches with no test change).

No behaviour changes: a signed Assertion inside an RSTR still validates
exactly as before, through the Assertion branch.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01LkWpdoa6VXK2GbJojJszvV
Removing parse() left three paths in response.ts without a test. They
looked unreachable through validate(), but each one is reachable:

- A signed Response that carries several Assertions is accepted, and
  the first one is used.
- xml2js rejects some documents the DOM parser accepts, such as a bare
  "&" in text. validate() reports that as a WrapError with the xml2js
  error in inner.
- sanitizeXML strips &#xd; after the DOM parser's DTD check, so
  "<!DOC&#xd;TYPE" inside a comment or CDATA becomes a DTD keyword that
  only the xml2js guard sees. validate() rejects it with
  doctypeNotAllowedError in inner.

Each now has a validate() test, and response.ts is back to full line
coverage.

- test/assets/saml20.validAssertion.xml has had no reader since parse()
  went; its persistent-NameID case is covered by a signed validate()
  test.
- test/assets/certificates/oktaPublicKey.crt cannot be parsed: its
  notAfter is a UTCTime too short for OpenSSL ("utctime is too short"),
  so crypto.X509Certificate rejects it and nothing can verify against
  it. sign.spec.ts and the createSAMLResponse tests in response.spec.ts
  now sign with the testIdp key pair, and the "unrelated certificate"
  in validateSignature.spec.ts is the OneLogin certificate.
  oktaPrivateKey.pem stays: it decrypts oktaEncResponse.xml.
- The commented-out OneLogin and Okta certificate reads in
  decrypt.response.spec.ts are gone.

Every file under test/assets is now read by a test.

- The build badge points at ory/saml20 instead of boxyhq/saml20.
- The title says SAML 2.0 only: getVersion accepts Version="2.0" and
  nothing else, so "& 1.1" was wrong.
- The intro says what the library does, that it started as a fork of
  leandrob/saml20, and that Ory maintains it under the existing npm
  name.
- The note about callbacks before 1.6.0 is gone.
- The BoxyHQ Discord and Twitter links are replaced by a pointer to
  GitHub issues.
- My contributor email is my Ory address.

The npm name @boxyhq/saml20, the matching setup-node scope in CI, and
the BoxyHQ copyright line in LICENSE stay as they are.

Walkthrough

Validation now requires a nonempty audience and exact audience matching. Signature validation returns signed XML on success and throws on invalid signatures. The package removes deprecated APIs and deep imports, and defines explicit package exports.

Changes: SAML validation and package API

Layer / File(s) Summary
Require and enforce exact audiences
lib/typings.ts, lib/saml20.ts, lib/response.ts, test/lib/*.spec.ts, README.md
ValidateOptions.audience is required and must contain nonempty values. Audience matching uses exact equality, and tests cover missing, malformed, and non-matching audiences.
Return signed XML or throw on invalid signatures
lib/validateSignature.ts, lib/response.ts, test/lib/sign.spec.ts, test/lib/validateSignature.spec.ts
verifySignature returns a verification result or null. validateSignature throws when verification fails and returns signed XML when it succeeds.
Remove legacy APIs and define package exports
lib/index.ts, lib/response.ts, lib/utils.ts, package.json, README.md, test/lib/compat.spec.ts, test/lib/getVersion.spec.ts
The package removes legacy APIs and adds export mappings for the package root and package.json. Compatibility tests check the public exports and reject selected deep imports.

Comment thread lib/response.ts Outdated
This reverts the code change of fb54843 ("refactor: drop the
RequestSecurityTokenResponse branch from parseResponseAndVersion").
That commit called the branch unreachable and said nothing changed;
both were wrong. When a WS-Federation provider such as ADFS signs the
whole RequestSecurityTokenResponse, the signed content validate() reads
is that envelope, and this branch is how it finds the Assertion inside.
Without it, such a response failed with "Invalid assertion.". The
branch had no test, which is why coverage made it look dead.

New tests pin both ADFS shapes: a signed Assertion inside an unsigned
RequestSecurityTokenResponse (handled by the Assertion branch), and an
Assertion inside a signed one (this branch), plus a tampered signed
envelope and an audience mismatch inside it. Without the branch, the
signed-envelope acceptance and audience tests fail.

…ignedInfo

Polis tested this through its own code by spying on the xml-crypto copy
inside @boxyhq/saml20 (test/saml/lib.test.ts and test/sso/logout.test.ts
in ory-corp/cloud). That reaches into this library's dependencies and
breaks whenever they move, so the guarantee belongs here.
validateSignature.spec.ts already pins it for validateSignature(); this
pins it for validate(), with a control showing the spy sees the single
Reference of the unmodified response. Without the Reference ceiling the
1500-Reference case runs for minutes.
