GHSA-x7qq-23vw-7pfg
social-auth-core has Login CSRF via Missing State Parameter in LoginRadius Backend
Quick fix
GHSA-x7qq-23vw-7pfg — social-auth-core: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.
pip install --upgrade 'social-auth-core>=5.0.0'Details
### Impact
The LoginRadius backend did not validate OAuth state during the authentication flow.
Applications using this backend were vulnerable to login CSRF. An attacker could cause a victim's browser session to complete authentication using an attacker-controlled LoginRadius token, making the victim authenticated as the attacker's LoginRadius identity.
The issue affects only applications using the LoginRadius backend.
### Patches
The issue has been fixed by enabling callback state validation for the LoginRadius backend.
Users should upgrade to a patched version.
Fix:
* https://github.com/python-social-auth/social-core/pull/1808
### Workarounds
Applications that cannot upgrade immediately should disable the LoginRadius backend by removing it from `SOCIAL_AUTH_AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS`.
There is no complete workaround while continuing to use the vulnerable backend.
