How to force libxml1 to ignore cert in file and use a cert I pass it on the command line?












1














I am trying to verify a signed XML SAML Response. It contains a spoofed cert in the XML.



I have the known real cert in a PEM file.



When I run



xmlsec1 --verify --pubkey-cert-pem  pubkey-real.pem 
--id-attr:ID urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:assertion:Assertion
--node-id DaavCk888T6_KR-Rtdm52CZSceG saml-req-spoofed.xml


it correctly validates it! It uses the certificate inside of the spoofed SAML request, instead of the known good one I am passing it on the command line. I know this because when I add --print-debug to the params it outputs the spoofed cert info.



Is there a way to force xmlsec1 to ignore the certificate inside of the XML file and force it to use the one I pass on the command line?



I am running xmlsec1 1.2.20 on a Mac.
