Hi,

The following vulnerability was published for xml-security-c.

CVE-2024-34580[0]:
| Apache XML Security for C++ through 2.0.4 implements the XML
| Signature Syntax and Processing (XMLDsig) specification without
| protection against an SSRF payload in a KeyInfo element. NOTE: the
| supplier disputes this CVE Record on the grounds that they are
| implementing the specification "correctly" and are not "at fault."

https://github.com/zmanion/Vulnerabilities/blob/main/CVE-2024-21893.md

Not sure what to make out of this? It seems the use of xml-security-sec
within Shibboleth continues to be supported, but otherwise the library
is deemed deprecated, so maybe this should at least be made explicit
in the package description?
