SCA: security update for social-auth-app-django (GHSA-wv4w-6qv2-qqfg)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 435552

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - Python Social Auth is a social authentication/registration mechanism. In versions prior to 5.6.0, 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. Version 5.6.0 contains a
 patch. As a workaround, review the authentication service policy on e-mail addresses; many will not allow
 exploiting this vulnerability. (CVE-2025-61783)
