The keygen.sh script in Shibboleth SP 2.0 (located in /usr/local/etc/shibboleth by default) uses OpenSSL to create a DES private key which is placed in sp-key.pm. It relies on the root umask (default 22) instead of chmoding the resulting file itself, so the generated private key is world readable by default.

Eduserv OpenAthens SP 2.0 for Java allows remote attackers to forge messages and bypass authentication via a SAML assertion that lacks a Signature element, aka a "Signature exclusion attack."

Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in the Identity Provider (IdP) 1.3.x before 1.3.4 and 2.x before 2.1.5, and the Service Provider 1.3.x before 1.3.5 and 2.x before 2.3, in Internet2 Middleware Initiative Shibboleth allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via URLs that are encountered in redirections, and appear in automatically generated forms.
