Improper Handling of Case Sensitivity

CVE-2024-32879

Medium
4.9/10

Summary

Python Social Auth is a social authentication/registration mechanism. Prior to version 5.4.1, due to default case-insensitive collation in MySQL or MariaDB databases, third-party authentication user IDs were not case-sensitive and could cause different IDs to match. An immediate workaround would be to change the collation of the affected field.
