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. Prior to version 5.0.0, the
 LoginRadius backend did not validate OAuth state during the authentication flow. Applications using this
 backend were vulnerable to login CSRF. An attacker could cause a victim's browser session to complete
 authentication using an attacker-controlled LoginRadius token, making the victim authenticated as the
 attacker's LoginRadius identity. The issue affects only applications using the LoginRadius backend. The
 issue has been fixe in version 5.0.0 by enabling callback state validation for the LoginRadius backend.
 (CVE-2026-57177)
