Better Auth: OAuth refresh-token rotation forks the token family on concurrent redemption

The OAuth provider's POST /oauth2/token endpoint, on the refresh_token grant, performs a non-atomic read / validate / revoke / mint sequence on the oauthRefreshToken row. Two concurrent requests presenting the same parent refresh token both pass the revocation check before either revoke completes, so each mints a fresh refresh token. The replay-detection branch only fires when revoked is already truthy at read time, which is exactly the state concurrent attackers …

@better-auth/oauth-provider's OAuth authorization-code grant allows concurrent redemption when two token requests race the find-then-delete primitive

The OAuth provider's POST /oauth2/token endpoint, on the authorization_code grant, redeems a single-use authorization code through a non-atomic find-then-delete sequence. Two concurrent requests with the same code value both pass the read step before either delete completes, then both proceed to PKCE verification and createUserTokens. Each surviving request mints a fresh access token, refresh token, and id token. RFC 6749 §4.1.2 requires authorization codes to be single-use; this primitive does …

@better-auth/oauth-provider may provide access tokens for unauthorized audiences via unbound resource indicators

@better-auth/oauth-provider lets an OAuth client choose the access-token audience through the RFC 8707 resource parameter at the token endpoint. It does not bind that choice to the authorization grant. A client that completes a normal authorization flow can request a JWT access token whose audience targets a resource server the authorization never covered. The only constraint is that the resource appears in the server's validAudiences allowlist. The same gap applies …

OAuth 2.1 Provider: Unprivileged users can register OAuth clients

An authorization bypass in the OAuth provider allows any authenticated low-privilege user to create OAuth clients even when the deployment configures clientPrivileges to restrict client creation. The option contract explicitly includes a create action, but the create paths never invoke that callback, so applications that rely on clientPrivileges for RBAC can be silently misconfigured into allowing unauthorized client registration.

OAuth 2.1 Provider: Unprivileged users can register OAuth clients

The clientPrivileges option documents a create action, but the OAuth client creation endpoints did not invoke the hook before persisting new clients. Deployments that configured clientPrivileges to restrict client registration were not actually restricted — any authenticated user could reach the create endpoints and register an OAuth client with attacker-chosen redirect URIs and metadata. Non-create operations (read, list, update, delete, rotate) enforced the hook correctly. Only the create path was …
