Summary
xml-crypto is an XML digital signature and encryption library for Node.js. An attacker may be able to exploit a vulnerability in versions prior to 6.0.1, 3.2.1, and 2.1.6 to bypass authentication or authorization mechanisms in systems that rely on xml-crypto for verifying signed XML documents. The vulnerability allows an attacker to modify a valid signed XML message in a way that still passes signature verification checks. For example, it could be used to alter critical identity or access control attributes, enabling an attacker with a valid account to escalate privileges or impersonate another user. Users of versions 6.0.0 and prior should upgrade to version 6.0.1 to receive a fix. Those who are still using v2.x or v3.x should upgrade to patched versions 2.1.6 or 3.2.1, respectively.

Por ejemplo, podr\u00eda utilizarse para alterar atributos cr\u00edticos de identidad o control de acceso, lo que permitir\u00eda a un atacante con una cuenta v\u00e1lida escalar privilegios o suplantar la identidad de otro usuario. Los usuarios de las versiones 6.0.0 y anteriores deben actualizar a la versi\u00f3n 6.0.1 para obtener una correcci\u00f3n.
