Description
Social-auth-core versions before 7.0.0 contain a login cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in the SAML backend. This flaw involves restoring sessions named in the unsigned RelayState parameter, allowing attackers to trick victims into signing into the attacker's account via a crafted IdP response and RelayState delivered through an auto-submitting form. The vulnerability has a medium severity with a CVSS score of 4.2.
