xml-security is Missing AES-GCM Authentication Tag Validation on Encrypted Nodes Allows for Unauthorized Decryption

xml-security is a library that implements XML signatures and encryption. Prior to 2.3.1, XML nodes encrypted with either aes-128-gcm, aes-192-gcm, or aes-256-gcm lack validation of the authentication tag length. An attacker can use this to brute-force an authentication tag, recover the GHASH key, and decrypt the encrypted nodes. It also allows to forge arbitrary ciphertexts without knowing the encryption key. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.3.1.
