SCA: security update for social-auth-core (GHSA-526j-582w-7fm9)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 474694

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 5.0.2, the LINE backend
exchanges an authorization code without validating the returned OAuth state. An attacker can begin
authorization for an attacker-controlled LINE account and induce a victim to visit the resulting callback
URL, causing the application to log the victim into the attacker's account. When account linking is
enabled, the same missing validation can link the attacker's LINE identity to the victim's existing
account and create a persistent unauthorized login path. Only applications with the LINE backend enabled
are affected. This issue is fixed in version 5.0.2. (CVE-2026-62322)

Solution

Update the social-auth-core library and its related packages to version 5.0.2 or later.
