Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Validation of Unsafe Equivalence in Input in the do_registration and do_authentication functions when subdomain origin validation is enabled and the client implementation does not properly enforce origin checks. An attacker can gain unauthorized access to credentials by registering a domain that ends with the relying party ID and proxying legitimate authentication requests. This is only exploitable if subdomain origin validation is enabled (not the default), the attacker can register a domain with a suffix matching the RP ID, and the client implementation does not correctly enforce origin validation.
