CVE-2026-81637: Replayable OAuth2 CSRF state retained after a failed callback in AshAuthentication

LowCVSS 2.3 · v4.0—No exploit Fix available

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 9/100)

  • The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.60% (FIRST EPSS).
  • Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. No account or password is required. Special conditions such as timing or configuration are required.
  • Fixed version: team-alembic ash_authentication 4.15.0, 5.0.0-rc.14, bd4352303bc9d72d007f6818775267585a4bcc2f.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to team-alembic ash_authentication 4.15.0, 5.0.0-rc.14, bd4352303bc9d72d007f6818775267585a4bcc2f or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

Insufficient Session Expiration vulnerability in team-alembic AshAuthentication allows an attacker who obtains a victim's OAuth2 state value to replay the callback and sign that victim into an attacker-controlled account. AshAuthentication.Strategy.OAuth2.Plug.callback/2 clears the stored session_params through a rebinding step inside its with chain, conn <- delete_session(conn, session_key). Elixir evaluates the else block in the scope enclosing the with, so every failure path (the provider returning ?error=access_denied, an invalid code, a token-exchange error, or a registration or sign-in failure) reaches store_authentication_result/2 holding the original connection and the session entry is never removed. The value the module's own comment describes as protection against a CSRF-related attack is therefore consumed only when authentication succeeds, and survives a cancelled or failed attempt until the next request phase or session expiry. This issue affects ash_authentication: from 0.6.0 before 4.15.0 and from 5.0.0-rc.0 before 5.0.0-rc.14.
