GHSA-P2FR-6HMX-4528
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-07-07 20:54 – Updated: 2026-07-07 20:54Am I affected?
Users are affected if all of the following hold:
- Their application depends on
@better-auth/oauth-provideron any stable1.6.xrelease (the stable line is not patched) or on a pre-release before1.7.0-beta.4. - Their application either configures validAudiences
with more than one audience, or it issues JWT access tokens whoseaud` (resource) claim is consumed by their resource servers. - Their resource servers make authorization decisions based on that
audor resource value.
A deployment with a single validAudiences entry (or the default, their server's base URL) cannot mint a token for a different audience. The provider rejects any resource outside the allowlist. Such a deployment still does not bind the resource to the authorization grant, so the spec-compliance gap remains even where cross-audience escalation does not apply.
Fix:
- Upgrade to
@better-auth/oauth-provider@1.7.0-beta.4(then1.7.0), then run the schema migration (npx auth migrate). This is a breaking change: a token or refresh request may only narrow the authorizedresource, an uncovered resource returnsinvalid_target, andcustomAccessTokenClaimsreceives aresourcesarray in place ofresource. - The
1.6.xstable line is not patched. If an application stays on it, developers should apply the workarounds below.
Summary
@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 to the refresh grant: a refresh token issued in a flow targeting one resource can be redeemed for an access token bound to a different allow-listed resource.
Details
The provider accepts resource only at the token endpoint, never at the authorization endpoint. At /oauth2/token it validates each requested resource against the server-wide validAudiences allowlist and writes the result into the JWT aud claim. It does not record the requested resources on the authorization code, and it does not store them on the refresh-token row.
Two consequences follow. For the authorization-code grant, the resource a client states at /oauth2/authorize is discarded, and the resource it sends at /oauth2/token is honored on its own, checked only against the allowlist. For the refresh grant, the audience is re-derived from the refresh request body alone, because no resource from the original grant is retained to constrain it. In both cases the audience becomes a per-request, client-chosen value rather than a property of the authorization.
This diverges from RFC 8707. The specification expects the authorization server to record the resources requested at authorization, then let the token endpoint narrow them but never widen them. A refresh token should stay bound to the resources of the original grant.
Patches
Fixed in @better-auth/oauth-provider@1.7.0-beta.4 (then 1.7.0). The fix records the requested resources at authorization, stores them with the authorization code, enforces subset narrowing at the token endpoint, retains the original resource set across refresh, and exposes aud at introspection. The 1.6.x stable line is not patched.
The fix is a breaking change. It replaces customAccessTokenClaims.resource with a resources array, returns invalid_target for a resource the authorization did not cover, and adds a schema field that requires a migration. After upgrading, run npx auth migrate (or npx auth generate if developers manage the schema themselves).
Workarounds
If developers cannot upgrade their applications:
- Set
validAudiencesto a single audience, or leave it unset so it defaults to their application's base URL. The provider then rejects any other requested resource, which removes cross-audience selection. - Configure each resource server to accept a token only when its own identifier is the expected audience, and to reject tokens whose
audis an array that also lists other audiences. - Do not rely on the
resourceindicator as an authorization boundary until developers run a release that contains the fix.
Impact
An attacker who can complete an OAuth flow for a registered client can obtain an access token whose audience points at a resource server that the user's authorization never covered. Where resource servers enforce the aud or resource value for authorization, a token granted for one resource becomes usable at another. The reachable data and operations stay limited to the scopes granted to that client, since the provider checks scopes independently of the resource.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-12-30 21:30 – Updated: 2025-12-31 22:08When frontend.enableExecuteMultiOperation is enabled, the server can apply namespace-scoped validation and feature gates for the embedded StartWorkflowExecutionRequest using its Namespace field rather than the outer, authorized ExecuteMultiOperationRequest.Namespace. This allows a caller authorized for one namespace to bypass that namespace's limits/policies by setting the embedded start request's namespace to a different namespace. The workflow is still created in the outer (authorized) namespace; only validation/gating is performed under the wrong namespace context. This issue affects Temporal: from 1.24.0 through 1.29.1.

GHSA-P2JC-8HC7-J466
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2022-05-24 17:37 – Updated: 2022-05-24 17:37An issue was discovered in the XCloner Backup and Restore plugin before 4.2.13 for WordPress. It gave authenticated attackers the ability to modify arbitrary files, including PHP files. Doing so would allow an attacker to achieve remote code execution. The xcloner_restore.php write_file_action could overwrite wp-config.php, for example. Alternatively, an attacker could create an exploit chain to obtain a database dump.

GHSA-P2JG-Q8HW-P7GC
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2022-09-07 00:01 – Updated: 2022-09-15 03:22An authorization flaw was found in openstack-barbican. The default policy rules for the secret metadata API allowed any authenticated user to add, modify, or delete metadata from any secret regardless of ownership. This flaw allows an attacker on the network to modify or delete protected data, causing a denial of service by consuming protected resources.

Mitigation
- Divide the product into anonymous, normal, privileged, and administrative areas. Reduce the attack surface by carefully mapping roles with data and functionality. Use role-based access control (RBAC) [REF-229] to enforce the roles at the appropriate boundaries.
- Note that this approach may not protect against horizontal authorization, i.e., it will not protect a user from attacking others with the same role.
Mitigation
Ensure that access control checks are performed related to the business logic. These checks may be different than the access control checks that are applied to more generic resources such as files, connections, processes, memory, and database records. For example, a database may restrict access for medical records to a specific database user, but each record might only be intended to be accessible to the patient and the patient's doctor [REF-7].
Mitigation MIT-4.4
Strategy: Libraries or Frameworks
- Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
- For example, consider using authorization frameworks such as the JAAS Authorization Framework [REF-233] and the OWASP ESAPI Access Control feature [REF-45].
Mitigation
- For web applications, make sure that the access control mechanism is enforced correctly at the server side on every page. Users should not be able to access any unauthorized functionality or information by simply requesting direct access to that page.
- One way to do this is to ensure that all pages containing sensitive information are not cached, and that all such pages restrict access to requests that are accompanied by an active and authenticated session token associated with a user who has the required permissions to access that page.
Mitigation
Use the access control capabilities of your operating system and server environment and define your access control lists accordingly. Use a "default deny" policy when defining these ACLs.
No CAPEC attack patterns related to this CWE.
