NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream social-auth-app-django package and not the social-auth-app-django package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:unstable relevant fixed versions and status.

Python Social Auth is a social authentication/registration mechanism. In versions prior to 5.6.0, upon authentication, the user could be associated by e-mail even if the associate_by_email pipeline was not included. This could lead to account compromise when a third-party authentication service does not validate provided e-mail addresses or doesn't require unique e-mail addresses. Version 5.6.0 contains a patch. As a workaround, review the authentication service policy on e-mail addresses; many will not allow exploiting this vulnerability.
