In this demonstration I show the impact of CVE-2025-25291/CVE-2025-25292, an authentication bypass in ruby-saml used by high profile OSS projects such as GitLab. My team coordinated with both the ruby-saml maintainer and GitLab to get this vulnerability fixed and patches are available at gh.io/glfx
