Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Authentication in the providerFlowSignIn process. An attacker can gain unauthorized access to another user's account by exploiting improper handling of email verification status from OAuth providers. This allows the attacker to link an unverified email to an existing account and obtain a fully authenticated session without the victim's knowledge.
