The vulnerability (GHSA-6wqp-7g94-f69j) affects sensiolabs/connect package versions prior to 4.2.3, involving a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability due to missing state parameter in OAuth requests. The issue was discovered and fixed in May 2017, with the patch being released in version 4.2.3 (GitHub Advisory).
The vulnerability stems from the absence of a state parameter in OAuth requests, which is a critical security component in OAuth flows. The issue has been assigned a CVSS v3.1 score of 6.1 (Moderate severity), with the following metrics: Network attack vector, Low attack complexity, No privileges required, User interaction required, Changed scope, and Low impact on both confidentiality and integrity (GitHub Advisory).
The vulnerability could allow attackers to perform Cross-Site Request Forgery attacks during the OAuth authentication flow, potentially compromising the security of the authentication process. This could lead to unauthorized access and potential account compromise with low impact on both confidentiality and integrity of the affected systems (GitHub Advisory).
The vulnerability has been fixed in version 4.2.3 of sensiolabs/connect. Users should upgrade to this version or later to implement proper state parameter handling in OAuth requests. The fix includes implementation of state parameter validation in the authentication flow (GitHub PR).
