SCA: security update for social-auth-core (GHSA-vqg6-3fw6-j9jg)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 448352

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 partial-
 pipeline resume mechanism accepted `partial_token` as a bearer credential without binding it to the
 browser session that created it. Applications using resumable partial pipeline steps could allow an
 attacker to start an authentication flow, obtain a valid partial token and verification data, and cause a
 victim's browser to resume that attacker-controlled flow. This could authenticate the victim's browser as
 the attacker's account. The issue affects applications using partial pipeline steps such as
 `mail_validation` or custom steps decorated with `@partial`. The issue has been fixed in version 5.0.0 by
 binding partial pipeline resumes to the originating browser session. (CVE-2026-57179)

Solution

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