SCA: security update for next-auth (GHSA-7r7x-4c4q-c4qf)
high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 412232
Description
There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:- NextAuth.js is an open source authentication solution for Next.js applications. `next-auth` applications
using OAuth provider versions before `v4.20.1` have been found to be subject to an authentication
vulnerability. A bad actor who can read traffic on the victim's network or who is able to social engineer
the victim to click a manipulated login link could intercept and tamper with the authorization URL to
**log in as the victim**, bypassing the CSRF protection. This is due to a partial failure during a
compromised OAuth session where a session code is erroneously generated. This issue has been addressed in
version 4.20.1. Users are advised to upgrade. Users unable to upgrade may using Advanced Initialization,
manually check the callback request for state, pkce, and nonce against the provider configuration to
prevent this issue. See the linked GHSA for details. (CVE-2023-27490)
