CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedNextAuth.js versions prior to @auth/core 0.41.3 and next-auth 4.24.15 and 5.0.0-beta.32 are vulnerable due to improper handling of OAuth/OIDC anti-CSRF checks, allowing attackers to exploit global cookies that are not tied to specific providers. This vulnerability can enable an attacker to link their account to a victim's Auth.js user account in multi-provider applications, resulting in persistent unauthorized access. Developers and organizations using NextAuth.js for authentication should prioritize updating to the patched versions to mitigate this risk.

Original NVD Description
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.
