Polis pins @boxyhq/saml20 1.16.0. Since then the library has shipped several security fixes that Polis does not get:

• 1.17.0: rejects XML document type declarations
• 1.19.0: bounds SAML request decoding
• 1.20.0: binds assertions to the ACS URL
• 1.20.1: caps the number of SignedInfo references in an XML signature
• 1.22.0: further hardening
• 2.0.0: the audience is always compared exactly. Before, an Audience that only started with the expected value was accepted.

This PR upgrades to 3.2.1 and adapts Polis to the breaking changes in 2.0.0 and 3.0.0.

Changes

• Type imports from the package root. 2.0.0 added an exports map, so @boxyhq/saml20/dist/typings no longer resolves. SAMLProfile is now imported from @boxyhq/saml20 in sso-traces/types.ts, controller/oauth.ts and controller/sso-handler.ts.
• validateSignature() throws on a bad signature. Since 2.0.0 it returns the signed XML or throws, where it used to return null. Both callers now catch the error and keep their existing answers:
  • controller/logout.ts (SLO response): Invalid signature., 403
  • ee/identity-federation/sso.ts (signed SAML request): Invalid SAML Request signature., 400
• WrapError.inner is optional in 3.x, so getErrorMessage() no longer assumes it is set.
• Tests:
  • The metadata-parsing test expected the old parser's error text (Non-whitespace before first tag.). 3.0.0 uses a single XML parser, which reports the same invalid input as missing root element. The input is still rejected; only the error text changed.
  • New test: an SLO response whose signature does not verify is refused with Invalid signature. (403). It passes on main with 1.16.0 and on this branch. With the logout.ts change reverted, it fails on 3.2.1.
• npm/package.json, npm/package-lock.json and the root package-lock.json pin 3.2.1.

Behaviour changes for deployments

• Exact audience match. A connection whose IdP sends an Audience that only starts with the configured SAML_AUDIENCE (or samlAudienceOverride) is refused after this upgrade. That was the security fix in 2.0.0.
• Node 22.12 or later. saml20 3.x declares engines.node >= 22.12.0. The Dockerfile already uses Node 24.18.0. npm/package.json still declares >=16. That should probably be raised, and I left it for a maintainer to decide.

Testing

• tsc -p npm/tsconfig.build.json --noEmit: no errors.
• The full npm test suite (npm test), run locally without Redis, Postgres or the other optional databases:
  • This branch: 979 of 988 passed.
  • main: 842 of 852 passed. The only extra failure on main was a timeout in saml_idp_oauth.test.ts, which passes when run alone: 137 of 137.
  • The failing subtests are identical on both trees. All are in db/db.test.ts, dsync/batch/webhooks.test.ts and setup-link.test.ts, which need services I didn't run (Redis connections were refused).
  • Every SSO, identity federation, logout and SSO traces test passes on this branch.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Invalid signatures on SAML logout responses and sign-in requests are now consistently rejected with clear error messages.
  • SAML error messages now avoid including inner error details when none are available, making reported errors more reliable.
  • Malformed SAML XML now reports an updated parser error message.

Walkthrough

The SAML dependency is upgraded, and SAMLProfile imports use the public package entry point. Signature validation failures are mapped to existing invalid-signature errors. Error-message handling and tests are updated.

Changes: SAML dependency and validation updates

Layer / File(s)	Summary
SAML package compatibility npm/package.json, npm/src/controller/oauth.ts, npm/src/controller/sso-handler.ts, npm/src/sso-traces/types.ts, npm/test/sso/saml_idp_api.test.ts	The @boxyhq/saml20 dependency changes from 1.16.0 to 3.2.1. SAMLProfile imports use the public package entry point. The malformed XML test expects the missing root element message.
SAML signature error handling npm/src/ee/identity-federation/sso.ts, npm/src/controller/logout.ts, npm/src/controller/utils.ts, npm/test/sso/logout.test.ts	Signature validation exceptions and falsy results map to the existing invalid-signature errors. getErrorMessage returns the outer message when no inner error exists. A logout test checks rejection of a response with a changed Destination.

Merge Risk: Low · up to 9325f

The upgraded SAML dependency needs Node 22.12 or later, but the package still declares support for Node 16 and above. Consumers on older runtimes may hit install warnings, strict-engine install failures, or runtime failures. Update the declared Node requirement before or shortly after merge; the Docker image is not affected.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names the main change: upgrading the @boxyhq/saml20 dependency from 1.16.0 to 3.2.1. The diff matches this. The package.json bump, the adapted imports, the validateSignature error handling, and the test changes all support it. The conventional-commit prefix 'fix(deps)' fits a security-motivated dependency upgrade.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description is detailed and covers what the PR changes: the upgrade of @boxyhq/saml20 from 1.16.0 to 3.2.1, the type import moves, the validateSignature() error handling in logout.ts and sso.ts, the optional WrapError.inner handling, and the updated and new tests. It also lists deployment impacts (exact audience matching, Node 22.12 or later) and reports test results. The template's 'Type of change' section is not checked, and the 'Updated dependencies' box is the relevant one. The 'Fixes # (issue)' line has no issue number, and the checklist items (documentation, self-review, comments) are not marked. These are minor gaps. The description is mostly complete.

Major · Functional Correctness · Quick win

Update the declared Node requirement with this dependency upgrade.

@boxyhq/saml20 3.2.1 requires Node >=22.12.0, but npm/package.json still declares >=16. The package therefore advertises runtimes that its new production dependency does not support. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

On those runtimes, installations with engine-strict enabled reject the dependency. Update engines.node to reflect the new minimum and document the runtime requirement. (docs.npmjs.com)

Based on learnings, derive the Node minimum from production dependency requirements, not development tooling.
