Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 security vulnerability.


1) Improper Authentication (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-30967)

The vulnerability allows a remote user to authenticate as any other user.

The vulnerability exists due to improper authentication in the OAuth2 authentication adapter when validating tokens through the provider's token introspection endpoint without verifying that the token belongs to the user identified by authData.id. A remote user can present any valid OAuth2 token from the same provider to authenticate as any other user.

This affects deployments using the generic OAuth2 authentication adapter with oauth2 enabled when the useridField option is not set.
