CVE-2022-35924: Improper Input Validation
(updated )
NextAuth.js is a complete open source authentication solution for Next.js applications. next-auth
users who are using the EmailProvider
either in versions before 4.10.3
or 3.29.10
are affected. If an attacker could forge a request that sent a comma-separated list of emails (eg.: attacker@attacker.com,victim@victim.com
) to the sign-in endpoint, NextAuth.js would send emails to both the attacker and the victim’s e-mail addresses. The attacker could then login as a newly created user with the email being attacker@attacker.com,victim@victim.com
. This means that basic authorization like email.endsWith("@victim.com")
in the signIn
callback would fail to communicate a threat to the developer and would let the attacker bypass authorization, even with an @attacker.com
address. This vulnerability has been patched in v4.10.3
and v3.29.10
by normalizing the email value that is sent to the sign-in endpoint before accessing it anywhere else. We also added a normalizeIdentifier
callback on the EmailProvider
configuration, where you can further tweak your requirements for what your system considers a valid e-mail address. (E.g.: strict RFC2821 compliance). Users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability. If for some reason you cannot upgrade, you can normalize the incoming request using Advanced Initialization.
