Net::SA...ML::Util(3)

📦 version 0.85, in alpine 3.24

💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, this is Net::SAML2::XML::Util — the XML Util class. The man page label is Net::SA...ML::Util(3), and it comes from the User Contributed Perl Documentation pile. Lowkey tiny module, highkey iconic. 🫶

🎀 VERSION 🎀

version 0.85 — that's the version, periodt. ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

my $xml = no_comments($xml);

🦋 METHODS 🦋

🌸 no_comments( $xml ) 🌸

This one returns the XML you passed in as plain XML, with the comments removed. That's it. That's the whole glow-up. 💅

It exists to remediate CVE-2017-11427 — XML Comments can allow for authentication bypass in SAML2 implementations. So yeah, this little method is doing security main character work. No cap. 🔥
