SCA: security update for @auth/core, next-auth (GHSA-x445-f3h2-j279)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 445219

Description

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

 - NextAuth.js provides authentication for Next.js. Prior to@auth/core 0.41.3 and next-auth 4.24.15 and
 5.0.0-beta.32, Auth.js stores the OAuth/OIDC anti-CSRF checks state, nonce, and the PKCE verifier in
 global cookies that are not bound to the provider that created them. On callback, a check value minted
 during a sign-in started with one provider can satisfy the callback for a different provider because the
 stored cookie is not verified against the callback provider's identity, including the provider ID, issuer,
 client ID, or redirect URI. In a multi-provider application that permits account linking while logged in,
 when one provider's authorization request is observable and a target provider callback can be satisfied
 without a PKCE verifier, an attacker can lure a victim into starting a legitimate same-origin flow and
 link the attacker's target-provider account to the victim's Auth.js user. The linked provider grants the
 attacker persistent sign-in to the victim's account, while cross-site request forgery alone is
 insufficient. This issue is fixed in @auth/core 0.41.3 and next-auth 4.24.15 and 5.0.0-beta.32.
 (CVE-2026-73419)

Solution

Update the @auth/core library and its related packages to version 0.41.3 or later.
