Severity ?
6.3 (Medium) - CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:H/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N
Summary
Python Social Auth - Django has unsafe account association
Details

Impact

Upon authentication, the user could be associated by e-mail even if the associate_by_email pipeline was not included. This could lead to account compromise when a third-party authentication service does not validate provided e-mail addresses or doesn't require unique e-mail addresses.

Patches

  • https://github.com/python-social-auth/social-app-django/pull/803

Workarounds

Review the authentication service policy on e-mail addresses; many will not allow exploiting this vulnerability.
