| CVE-2016-7191 | Hig | 0.53 | 8.1 | 0.04 | Sep 28, 2016 | The Microsoft Azure Active Directory Passport (aka Passport-Azure-AD) library 1.x before 1.4.6 and 2.x before 2.0.1 for Node.js does not recognize the validateIssuer setting, which allows remote attackers to bypass authentication via a crafted token. | |

| CVE-2026-42560 | Cri | 0.52 | 9.1 | 0.00 | May 9, 2026 | auth provides authentication via oauth2, direct and email. From versions 1.18.0 to before 1.25.2 and 2.0.0 to before 2.1.2, the Patreon OAuth provider maps every authenticated Patreon account to the same local user.ID, instead of deriving a unique ID from the Patreon account returned by Patreon. In practice, this means all Patreon-authenticated users of an application using this library are collapsed into a single local identity. Any application that trusts token.User.ID as the stable account key can end up mixing or fully merging unrelated Patreon users, which can lead to cross-account access, privilege confusion, and subscription-state leakage. This issue has been patched in versions 1.25.2 and 2.1.2. | |
| CVE-2025-47275 | Cri | 0.52 | 9.1 | 0.00 | May 15, 2025 | Auth0-PHP provides the PHP SDK for Auth0 Authentication and Management APIs. Starting in version 8.0.0-BETA1 and prior to version 8.14.0, session cookies of applications using the Auth0-PHP SDK configured with CookieStore have authentication tags that can be brute forced, which may result in unauthorized access. Certain pre-conditions are required to be vulnerable to this issue: Applications using the Auth0-PHP SDK, or the Auth0/symfony, Auth0/laravel-auth0, and Auth0/wordpress SDKs that rely on the Auth0-PHP SDK; and session storage configured with CookieStore. Upgrade Auth0/Auth0-PHP to v8.14.0 to receive a patch. As an additional precautionary measure, rotating cookie encryption keys is recommended. Note that once updated, any previous session cookies will be rejected. | |
| CVE-2025-24895 | Cri | 0.52 | 9.1 | 0.00 | Feb 18, 2025 | CIE.AspNetCore.Authentication is an AspNetCore Remote Authenticator for CIE 3.0. Authentication using Spid and CIE is based on the SAML2 standard which provides two entities: 1. Identity Provider (IDP): the system that authenticates users and provides identity information (SAML affirmation) to the Service Provider, in essence, is responsible for the management of the credentials and identity of users; 2. Service Provider (SP): the system that provides a service to the user and relies on the Identity Provider to authenticate the user, receives SAML assertions from the IdP to grant access to resources. The library cie-aspnetcore refers to the second entity, the SP, and implements the validation logic of SAML assertions within SAML responses. In affected versions there is no guarantee that the first signature refers to the root object, it follows that if an attacker injects an item signed as the first element, all other signatures will not be verified. The only requirement is to have an XML element legitimately signed by the IdP, a condition that is easily met using the IdP's public metadata. An attacker could create an arbitrary SAML response that would be accepted by SPs using vulnerable SDKs, allowing him to impersonate any Spid and/or CIE user. This issue has been addressed in version 2.1.0 and all users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability. | |

The validation logic of the signature is central as it ensures that you cannot create a SAML response with arbitrary assertions and then impersonate other users. There is no guarantee that the first signature refers to the root object, it follows that if an attacker injects an item signed as the first element, all other signatures will not be verified. The only requirement is to have an XML element legitimately signed by the IdP, a condition that is easily met using the IdP's public metadata. An attacker could create an arbitrary SAML response that would be accepted by SPs using vulnerable SDKs, allowing him to impersonate any Spid and/or CIE user. This vulnerability has been addressed in version 3.4.0 and all users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability. | |
| CVE-2025-22146 | Cri | 0.52 | 9.1 | 0.00 | Jan 15, 2025 | Sentry is a developer-first error tracking and performance monitoring tool. A critical vulnerability was discovered in the SAML SSO implementation of Sentry. It was reported to us via our private bug bounty program. The vulnerability allows an attacker to take over any user account by using a malicious SAML Identity Provider and another organization on the same Sentry instance. The victim email address must be known in order to exploit this vulnerability. The Sentry SaaS fix was deployed on Jan 14, 2025. For self hosted users; if only a single organization is allowed `(SENTRY_SINGLE_ORGANIZATION = True)`, then no action is needed. Otherwise, users should upgrade to version 25.1.0 or higher. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability. | |

| CVE-2026-34990 | Hig | 0.51 | 7.8 | 0.00 | Apr 3, 2026 | OpenPrinting CUPS is an open source printing system for Linux and other Unix-like operating systems. In versions 2.4.16 and prior, a local unprivileged user can coerce cupsd into authenticating to an attacker-controlled localhost IPP service with a reusable Authorization: Local ... token. That token is enough to drive /admin/ requests on localhost, and the attacker can combine CUPS-Create-Local-Printer with printer-is-shared=true to persist a file:///... queue even though the normal FileDevice policy rejects such URIs. Printing to that queue gives an arbitrary root file overwrite; the PoC below uses that primitive to drop a sudoers fragment and demonstrate root command execution. At time of publication, there are no publicly available patches. | |
| CVE-2026-1368 | Hig | 0.51 | 7.5 | 0.33 | Feb 18, 2026 | The Video Conferencing with Zoom WordPress plugin before 4.6.6 contains an AJAX handler that has its nonce verification commented out, allowing unauthenticated attackers to generate valid Zoom SDK signatures for any meeting ID and retrieve the site's Zoom SDK key. | |

The affected element is an unknown function of the file AIBatteryHelper/XPC/BatteryXPCService.swift of the component com.collweb.AIBatteryHelper. The manipulation results in missing authentication.

| CVE-2024-56329 | Hig | 0.51 | — | 0.00 | Dec 20, 2024 | Socialstream is a third-party package for Laravel Jetstream. It replaces the published authentication and profile scaffolding provided by Laravel Jetstream, with scaffolding that has support for Laravel Socialite. When linking a social account to an already authenticated user, the lack of a confirmation step introduces a security risk. This is exacerbated if ->stateless() is used in the Socialite configuration, bypassing state verification and making the exploit easier. Developers should ensure that users explicitly confirm account linking and avoid configurations that skip critical security checks. Socialstream v6.2 introduces a new custom route that requires a user to "Confirm" or "Deny" a request to link a social account. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability. | |

This is an issue only for users who have used local authentication with LXCA and not remote authentication against external LDAP or ADFS servers. | |
