How to fix?

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 Improper Validation of Integrity Check Value via the SAML authentication backend (social_core/backends/saml.py), which fails to validate SAML responses against the originating AuthnRequest ID. An attacker can forge or replay a SAML response with a mismatched or absent InResponseTo field, bypassing the binding between the identity provider's response and the original authentication request, which can lead to account takeover or unauthorized account association.
