Overview

auth0-js is an Auth0 headless browser sdk

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Insufficiently Protected Credentials. In the case of an (authentication) error, the error object returned by the library contains the original request of the user, which may include the plaintext password the user entered. If the error object is exposed or logged without modification, the application risks password exposure.
