social-auth-app-django affected by Improper Handling of Case Sensitivity

Moderate severity GitHub Reviewed Published Apr 24, 2024 in python-social-auth/social-app-django • Updated Aug 28, 2024

Package

pip social-auth-app-django (pip)

Affected versions

< 5.4.1

Patched versions

5.4.1

Description

Impact

Due to default case-insensitive collation in MySQL or MariaDB databases, third-party authentication user IDs are not case-sensitive and could cause different IDs to match.

Patches

This issue has been addressed by python-social-auth/social-app-django#566 and fix released in 5.4.1.

Workarounds

An immediate workaround would be to change collation of the affected field:

ALTER TABLE `social_auth_usersocialauth` MODIFY `uid` varchar(255) COLLATE `utf8_bin`;

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
