Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Incorrect Implementation of Authentication Algorithm. An attacker can gain unauthorized access to another user's account by leveraging a specially crafted email address when switching authentication methods and sending a request to the /users/login/sso/code-exchange endpoint.

Note:

This is only exploitable if the ExperimentalEnableAuthenticationTransfer setting is enabled and the RequireEmailVerification setting is disabled.
