relevant section info:
XML Signature Wrapping — PicketLink SP signedAssertions==0 short-circuit (SAML 2.0 auth bypass) (JBoss EAP)

SAML 2.0 authentication bypass: PicketLink's SP signature-validation logic short-circuits when the SAML Response contains zero Assertion elements matching the signature check (e.g. the signed assertion is moved outside the validated subtree via XML Signature Wrapping), allowing an attacker to forge a SAML Response and authenticate as any principal with any roles on the protected application.
