Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-05-11 12:32 – Updated: 2026-05-11 12:32

Details

The Magic Link authentication flow accepts multiple invalid authentication requests without adequate rate limiting or resource control, leading to uncontrolled memory usage growth.

This vulnerability can result in a denial-of-service condition, causing service unavailability for deployments that utilize the Magic Link authenticator. The impact is limited to these specific deployments and requires repeated invalid authentication attempts to trigger.

Severity ?

8.6 (High)


                  
                    CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:N/A:H
