SCA: security update for social-auth-core (GHSA-fp7w-m676-w7gc)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 448346

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 Vend
 OAuth2 backend used only the numeric Vend user_id as the social-auth UID. When multiple Vend shops
 authenticate through the same application, users from different shops with the same internal Vend user ID
 could collide in the social-auth association table. A user from one shop could then be authenticated as
 the local account previously associated with the same numeric user ID from another shop. The issue affects
 applications using the Vend OAuth2 backend with more than one Vend shop. Version 5.0.0 patches the issue.
 (CVE-2026-57176)

Solution

Update the social-auth-core library and its related packages to version 5.0.0 or later.
