Flask-Security-Too OAuth reauthentication freshness bypass via cross- user OAuth identity acceptance
Summary
Flask-Security-Too 5.8.0's OAuth reauthentication flow can mark a session as fresh after verifying an OAuth account that belongs to a different user.
If an attacker can operate an already-authenticated but stale victim
session, they can complete OAuth verification using their own OAuth
identity. The victim session is then treated as recently
reauthenticated, allowing freshness-protected account actions to
proceed. This was reproduced against the built-in /change-username
route.
Details
The issue is in the OAuth verification callback.
_oauth_response_common() resolves the OAuth provider identity to a
Flask-Security user:
flask_security/oauth_glue.py:101-108
oauth_verify_response() then accepts any resolved user and updates
the current session freshness timestamp:
flask_security/oauth_glue.py:182-214flask_security/oauth_glue.py:201-204
The missing check is that the OAuth-resolved user must match the current authenticated session user. In the failing case:
- current session user:
victim@example.com - OAuth verified user:
attacker@example.com - session marked fresh: yes
So the attacker is not logging in as the victim, but they are satisfying the victim session's reauthentication requirement with a different account.
