Overview

github.com/goauthentik/authentik/authentik/providers/oauth2/views is an open-source Identity Provider that emphasizes flexibility and versatility. It can be seamlessly integrated into existing environments to support new protocols. authentik is also a great solution for implementing sign-up, recovery, and other similar features in your application, saving you the hassle of dealing with them.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Authentication Bypass by Spoofing due to improper handling of the code_challenge parameter during the authorization process. An attacker can bypass the Proof Key for Code Exchange (PKCE) protection by initiating the authorization request without the code_challenge parameter, potentially leading to code injection attacks.
