Moderate
nijel published GHSA-2gr8-3wc7-xhj3 Apr 24, 2024

Package

pip social-auth-app-django (pip)

Affected versions

<5.4.1

Patched versions

5.4.1

Description

Impact

Due to default case-insensitive collation in MySQL or MariaDB databases, third-party authentication user IDs are not case-sensitive and could cause different IDs to match.

Patches

This issue has been addressed by #566 and fix released in 5.4.1.

Workarounds

An immediate workaround would be to change collation of the affected field:

ALTER TABLE `social_auth_association` MODIFY `uid` varchar(255) COLLATE `utf8_bin`;
