The Shibboleth Project has released version 1.4.2 of the WebAuthn authentication plugin.
This patch release primarily updates the Yubico WebAuthn libraries to version 2.9.0,
including a fix for a FIDO metadata parsing issue.
Version 2.9.0 also resolves a regression we identified and reported in later releases of
the Yubico library, which led to a high-severity impersonation vulnerability [1]. We were
not affected by this issue and intentionally deferred upgrading until a fix was available.
For full details, please refer to the release notes [2].
