Description
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass implemented security restrictions.
The vulnerability exists due to authentik considers invitations valid regardless of their expiration date relying on background tasks to clean up expired ones. In a normal scenario this can take up to 5 minutes because the cleanup of expired objects is scheduled to run every 5 minutes. However, with a large amount of tasks in the backlog, this might take longer. This allows a remote attacker to guess invitation token and gain unauthorized access to the application.
