CVE-2024-32879
social-auth-app-django affected by Improper Handling of Case Sensitivity
Impact
### Impact Due to default case-insensitive collation in MySQL or MariaDB databases, third-party authentication user IDs are not case-sensitive and could cause different IDs to match. ### Patches This issue has been addressed by https://github.com/python-social-auth/social-app-django/pull/566 and fix released in 5.4.1. ### Workarounds An immediate workaround would be to change collation of the affected field: ```mysql ALTER TABLE `social_auth_usersocialauth` MODIFY `uid` varchar(255) COLLATE `utf8_bin`; ``` ### References This issue was discovered by folks at https://opencraft.com/.
