Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed 'remotely exploitable' and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Privileges Required: Low: The attacker is authorized with (i.e., requires) privileges that provide basic user capabilities that could normally affect only settings and files owned by a user. Alternatively, an attacker with Low privileges may have the ability to cause an impact only to non-sensitive resources.
User Interaction: Required: Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires a user to take some action before the vulnerability can be exploited.
Scope: Unchanged: An exploited vulnerability can only affect resources managed by the same security authority. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are either the same, or both are managed by the same security authority.
Confidentiality: Low: There is some loss of confidentiality. Access to some restricted information is obtained, but the attacker does not have control over what information is obtained, or the amount or kind of loss is limited. The information disclosure does not cause a direct, serious loss to the impacted component.
Integrity: Low: Modification of data is possible, but the attacker does not have control over the consequence of a modification, or the amount of modification is limited. The data modification does not have a direct, serious impact on the impacted component.
Availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the impacted component.

Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 22 Oct 2026
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed

No public exploit code indexed in Metasploit or Exploit-DB
Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 29 Oct 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponized: A Metasploit exploit module or Exploit-DB entry exists (Metasploit scanner modules do not count), or CISA SSVC or the CVSS exploit maturity reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

AI-suggested

A fix is available in Authlib version 1.8.0 as verified against commit c529a61af40e3efe05286140e00fbdced07d7987. Users should upgrade to this version or later to remediate the vulnerability. Deployments should ensure that clients permitted 'id_token' or 'id_token token' response types are also granted the 'openid' scope to avoid exposure. If upgrading is not immediately possible, review client metadata and restrict response types or scopes accordingly. No other non-default configuration options are needed to mitigate this issue once the fixed version is deployed.

Description

Authlib's OpenID Connect implicit grant implementation contains a vulnerability where the authorization request validation checks the raw client-supplied scope instead of the filtered allowed scope before issuing ID tokens. This allows a registered OAuth client, which is not permitted the 'openid' scope but allowed other scopes like 'profile', to receive a signed ID token if the user consents. The issue affects deployments using the OpenIDImplicitGrant and clients permitted 'id_token' response types without the 'openid' scope. The vulnerability does not affect authorization code flow deployments or those where clients with 'id_token' response types are also allowed the 'openid' scope.

Impact

A registered OAuth client that is not allowed the 'openid' scope but is permitted 'id_token' response types can obtain a signed OpenID Connect ID token for any user who logs in and consents. This ID token includes identity claims such as 'sub' and 'name', effectively bypassing the intended scope restrictions. The user consent screen does not indicate that an ID token will be issued, potentially misleading users. The access token remains restricted and is rejected by the UserInfo endpoint, so the impact is limited to issuance of the ID token. This could lead to unauthorized disclosure of user identity claims to clients not authorized to receive them. The vulnerability requires user interaction and a registered client with specific metadata, limiting exploitation scope. The assessed severity is medium due to these constraints.
