Description

CVE-2026-109346 is a high-severity vulnerability in better-auth versions from 1.3.8-beta.3 up to but not including 1.7.0-rc.3. It involves a user interface misrepresentation in the deviceAuthorization plugin where the GET /device endpoint omits critical information such as the client_id and scope. This omission allows attackers to initiate a device authorization request, trick signed-in users into approving it, and then redeem the authorization code to obtain a live session token. The issue is fixed in version 1.7.0-rc.3.
