Upgrade social-auth-core to version 5.0.0 or higher.
Overview
social-auth-core is a package that makes Python social authentication simple.
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Session Fixation via the partial pipeline resume mechanism in social_core/utils.py and social_core/actions.py. An attacker can resume another user's partial authentication pipeline token from a different session, bypassing session ownership checks and gaining unauthorized access to the authentication flow. This allows cross-session hijacking of in-progress authentication pipelines, potentially leading to account takeover or unauthorized identity linkage.
