GHSA-CQ3F-VC6P-68FH
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-06-04 14:55 – Updated: 2026-06-09 11:58Am I affected?
You are affected if all of the following are true:
- You use
better-authat a version>= 1.6.0, < 1.6.11. - The
deviceAuthorizationplugin is enabled in your auth config (deviceAuthorization()in yourpluginsarray). - A third party can observe a pending user code before the legitimate user completes verification.
The standard device-flow UX displays user codes to humans, so realistic exposure includes shoulder-surfing, screen-share, voice or video calls, support-chat transcripts, referrer headers, and shared logs.
If your application does not enable the deviceAuthorization plugin, you are not affected.
Fix:
- Upgrade to
better-auth@1.6.11or later. - If you cannot upgrade, see workarounds below.
Summary
Better Auth's deviceAuthorization plugin treated any authenticated session as the owner of any pending device code. The ownership gate on POST /device/approve and POST /device/deny short-circuited whenever the row's userId was unset, and the GET /device verification handler did not claim the row. An authenticated attacker who learned a valid user_code before the legitimate user completed approval could bind the polling device to the attacker's account or deny the legitimate flow.
Details
The device authorization flow binds the polling device to the user who entered the user code on the verification page. In affected versions, the plugin only created that binding at approve or deny time, with no claim at the verification step. The ownership check at approve and deny short-circuited when the owner was missing, accepting any authenticated caller instead of rejecting the request.
The fix changes GET /device to claim the pending row for the calling session. The approve and deny gates now require strict equality between the row's owner and the calling session. RFC 8628 §5.5 covers this risk class as Session Spying: a malicious party can hijack a session by completing authorization before the legitimate initiating user does.
Patches
Fixed in better-auth@1.6.11. After the patch, GET /device claims the pending row for the calling session, and POST /device/approve and POST /device/deny reject calls whose session does not match the claimed owner. Custom verification pages must serve GET /device to an authenticated session for the flow to succeed.
Workarounds
If you cannot upgrade immediately:
- Disable the plugin if you do not use the device flow: remove
deviceAuthorization()from yourpluginsarray. - Add a
beforehook onPOST /device/approveandPOST /device/denythat tracks which session calledGET /devicefor each user code, and rejects calls from a different session. - Shorten the pending lifetime of device codes via the
expiresInplugin option to reduce the exploitation window.
Impact
- Account takeover on the polling device: the attacker's session becomes the device's session, so the device operates as the attacker.
- Denial of the legitimate sign-in: the attacker can mark the code as denied, blocking the victim's flow.

GHSA-CQMC-2W22-Q469
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2022-04-05 00:00 – Updated: 2022-04-13 00:00The Blackhole for Bad Bots WordPress plugin before 3.3.2 uses headers such as CF-CONNECTING-IP, CLIENT-IP etc to determine the IP address of requests hitting the blackhole URL, which allows them to be spoofed. This could result in blocking arbitrary IP addresses, such as legitimate/good search engine crawlers / bots. This could also be abused by competitors to cause damage related to visibility in search engines, can be used to bypass arbitrary blocks caused by this plugin, block any visitor or even the administrator and even more.

Mitigation
For each and every data access, ensure that the user has sufficient privilege to access the record that is being requested.
Mitigation
Make sure that the key that is used in the lookup of a specific user's record is not controllable externally by the user or that any tampering can be detected.
Mitigation
Use encryption in order to make it more difficult to guess other legitimate values of the key or associate a digital signature with the key so that the server can verify that there has been no tampering.
No CAPEC attack patterns related to this CWE.
