How to fix?

Upgrade next-auth to version 4.20.1 or higher.

Overview

next-auth is an Authentication for Next.js

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Session Fixation such that a bad actor who can read traffic on the victim's network or who is able to social engineer the victim to click a manipulated login link could intercept and tamper with the authorization URL to log in as the victim.

Workaround

Users unable to upgrade can use Advanced Initialization and manually check the callback request for state, pkce, and nonce against the provider configuration to prevent this issue.
