Summary
Spring Security Vulnerable to Unauthorized User Impersonation when Using X.509 Client Certificates
Details

In Spring Security Web, SubjectDnX509PrincipalExtractor does not correctly handle certain malformed X.509 certificate CN values, which can lead to reading the wrong value for the username. In a carefully crafted certificate, this can lead to an attacker impersonating another user.

SubjectDnX509PrincipalExtractor is deprecated by this CVE and replaced with SubjectX500PrincipalExtractor. As part of updating, you should also migrate to SubjectX500PrincipalExtractor.

Affected versions: Spring Security Enterprise 5.7.0 through 5.7.24; 5.8.0 through 5.8.26; 6.3.0 through 6.3.17; 6.4.0 through 6.4.17; 6.5.0 through 6.5.10. OSS 6.5.0 through 6.5.10.

GHSA-29RF-F4VV-PVQ6

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-08-14 15:36 – Updated: 2026-08-14 15:36
VLAI
Summary
Authorizer: Zero-click account takeover via OAuth identity linking to unverified email accounts
Details

The OAuth callback handler links incoming OAuth identities (Google, GitHub, etc.) to existing accounts matched by email address without verifying that the existing account's email was verified by its original owner. An attacker who pre-registers with a victim's email address (without verifying it) gains persistent password-based access to the victim's account after the victim completes a normal OAuth login. Verified against HEAD (commit 73679fa).

Root Cause

In internal/http_handlers/oauth_callback.go, when an OAuth login occurs for an email that already exists in the database:

Line 125: The existing user is looked up by email:

existingUser, err := h.StorageProvider.GetUserByEmail(ctx, refs.StringValue(user.Email))

Line 164: The OAuth user object is replaced with the existing user:

user = existingUser

Lines 173-176: The OAuth provider is appended to the existing user's signup methods:

signupMethod := existingUser.SignupMethods
if !strings.Contains(signupMethod, provider) {
    signupMethod = signupMethod + "," + provider
}
user.SignupMethods = signupMethod

Lines 179-181: If the existing account's email was NOT verified, it is automatically verified:

if user.EmailVerifiedAt == nil {
    now := time.Now().Unix()
    user.EmailVerifiedAt = &now
}

Line 219: The merged user is saved to the database:

user, err = h.StorageProvider.UpdateUser(ctx, user)

At no point is the existing account's password invalidated or the owner notified that a new OAuth identity was linked.

Attack Chain

  1. Attacker signs up with victim@company.com using email/password. Attacker sets a known password but does NOT click the email verification link. The account exists in the database with EmailVerifiedAt = nil.

  2. Some time later, the real owner of victim@company.com logs in via Google OAuth (a completely normal action).

  3. The OAuth callback at line 125 finds the attacker's existing account by email.

  4. At line 164, the Google OAuth identity is linked to the attacker's account.

  5. At line 179-181, the email is automatically verified (the attacker never verified it, but now it's marked as verified).

  6. At line 175, "google" is appended to the signup methods. The account now has both "basic_auth" and "google" as valid login methods.

  7. The attacker's original password is still valid in the database. It was never cleared, changed, or invalidated.

  8. The attacker logs in with victim@company.com and the password they originally set. They now have full access to the victim's account, including any data the victim added via their Google session.

Why This Is Zero-Click

The victim performs no unusual action. They simply log in via their Google account, which is the expected, secure behavior. The attacker staged the account beforehand and gains access without any further interaction.

This is a classic Account Linking vulnerability (cited in OWASP authentication guidelines). The core logic flaw is a trust boundary violation. Authorizer correctly trusts that Google has verified the email address, but it incorrectly extends that trust to validate the password that was set by the unverified attacker. The attacker maintains persistent, password-based backdoor access to the victim's account, even if the victim later revokes Authorizer's OAuth access from their Google account settings. The password was set before Google was ever involved and is never invalidated by the linking process.

Impact

  • Full account takeover for any user who logs in via OAuth
  • Attacker maintains persistent password-based access even after the victim changes OAuth providers
  • All data the victim creates after OAuth login is accessible to the attacker
  • The victim has no indication their account was pre-staged
  • Affects every OAuth provider configured in Authorizer (Google, GitHub, Facebook, Apple, LinkedIn, Twitter, Discord, Twitch, Roblox, Microsoft)

Suggested Fix

Before linking an OAuth identity to an existing account, verify that the existing account's email is already verified:

existingUser, err := h.StorageProvider.GetUserByEmail(ctx, refs.StringValue(user.Email))
if err == nil {
    // Account exists. Only link if email is already verified.
    if existingUser.EmailVerifiedAt == nil {
        // Email not verified by original owner. Do NOT link.
        // Either: reject the login, or create a new separate account,
        // or delete the unverified account and create a fresh one for the OAuth user.
    }
}

Additionally, when linking a new OAuth identity, invalidate any existing password on the account or require the user to re-authenticate via the original method.

  "details": "The OAuth callback handler links incoming OAuth identities (Google, GitHub, etc.) to existing accounts matched by email address without verifying that the existing account\u0027s email was verified by its original owner. An attacker who pre-registers with a victim\u0027s email address (without verifying it) gains persistent password-based access to the victim\u0027s account after the victim completes a normal OAuth login. Verified against HEAD (commit 73679fa).\n\n## Root Cause\n\nIn `internal/http_handlers/oauth_callback.go`, when an OAuth login occurs for an email that already exists in the database:\n\nLine 125: The existing user is looked up by email:\n\n    existingUser, err := h.StorageProvider.GetUserByEmail(ctx, refs.StringValue(user.Email))\n\nLine 164: The OAuth user object is replaced with the existing user:\n\n    user = existingUser\n\nLines 173-176: The OAuth provider is appended to the existing user\u0027s signup methods:\n\n    signupMethod := existingUser.SignupMethods\n    if !strings.Contains(signupMethod, provider) {\n        signupMethod = signupMethod + \",\" + provider\n    }\n    user.SignupMethods = signupMethod\n\nLines 179-181: If the existing account\u0027s email was NOT verified, it is automatically verified:\n\n    if user.EmailVerifiedAt == nil {\n        now := time.Now().Unix()\n        user.EmailVerifiedAt = \u0026now\n    }\n\nLine 219: The merged user is saved to the database:\n\n    user, err = h.StorageProvider.UpdateUser(ctx, user)\n\nAt no point is the existing account\u0027s password invalidated or the owner notified that a new OAuth identity was linked.\n\n## Attack Chain\n\n1. Attacker signs up with `victim@company.com` using email/password. Attacker sets a known password but does NOT click the email verification link. The account exists in the database with `EmailVerifiedAt = nil`.\n\n2. Some time later, the real owner of `victim@company.com` logs in via Google OAuth (a completely normal action).\n\n3. The OAuth callback at line 125 finds the attacker\u0027s existing account by email.\n\n4. At line 164, the Google OAuth identity is linked to the attacker\u0027s account.\n\n5. At line 179-181, the email is automatically verified (the attacker never verified it, but now it\u0027s marked as verified).\n\n6. At line 175, \"google\" is appended to the signup methods. The account now has both \"basic_auth\" and \"google\" as valid login methods.\n\n7. The attacker\u0027s original password is still valid in the database. It was never cleared, changed, or invalidated.\n\n8. The attacker logs in with `victim@company.com` and the password they originally set. They now have full access to the victim\u0027s account, including any data the victim added via their Google session.\n\n## Why This Is Zero-Click\n\nThe victim performs no unusual action. They simply log in via their Google account, which is the expected, secure behavior. The attacker staged the account beforehand and gains access without any further interaction.\n\nThis is a classic Account Linking vulnerability (cited in OWASP authentication guidelines). The core logic flaw is a trust boundary violation. Authorizer correctly trusts that Google has verified the email address, but it incorrectly extends that trust to validate the password that was set by the unverified attacker. The attacker maintains persistent, password-based backdoor access to the victim\u0027s account, even if the victim later revokes Authorizer\u0027s OAuth access from their Google account settings. The password was set before Google was ever involved and is never invalidated by the linking process.\n\n## Impact\n\n- Full account takeover for any user who logs in via OAuth\n- Attacker maintains persistent password-based access even after the victim changes OAuth providers\n- All data the victim creates after OAuth login is accessible to the attacker\n- The victim has no indication their account was pre-staged\n- Affects every OAuth provider configured in Authorizer (Google, GitHub, Facebook, Apple, LinkedIn, Twitter, Discord, Twitch, Roblox, Microsoft)\n\n## Suggested Fix\n\nBefore linking an OAuth identity to an existing account, verify that the existing account\u0027s email is already verified:\n\n    existingUser, err := h.StorageProvider.GetUserByEmail(ctx, refs.StringValue(user.Email))\n    if err == nil {\n        // Account exists. Only link if email is already verified.\n        if existingUser.EmailVerifiedAt == nil {\n            // Email not verified by original owner. Do NOT link.\n            // Either: reject the login, or create a new separate account,\n            // or delete the unverified account and create a fresh one for the OAuth user.\n        }\n    }\n\nAdditionally, when linking a new OAuth identity, invalidate any existing password on the account or require the user to re-authenticate via the original method.\n\n## Credit\nKoda Reef",

Mitigation
Architecture and Design

Strategy: Libraries or Frameworks

Use an authentication framework or library such as the OWASP ESAPI Authentication feature.

CAPEC-114: Authentication Abuse

An attacker obtains unauthorized access to an application, service or device either through knowledge of the inherent weaknesses of an authentication mechanism, or by exploiting a flaw in the authentication scheme's implementation. In such an attack an authentication mechanism is functioning but a carefully controlled sequence of events causes the mechanism to grant access to the attacker.

CAPEC-115: Authentication Bypass

An attacker gains access to application, service, or device with the privileges of an authorized or privileged user by evading or circumventing an authentication mechanism. The attacker is therefore able to access protected data without authentication ever having taken place.

CAPEC-151: Identity Spoofing

Identity Spoofing refers to the action of assuming (i.e., taking on) the identity of some other entity (human or non-human) and then using that identity to accomplish a goal. An adversary may craft messages that appear to come from a different principle or use stolen / spoofed authentication credentials.

CAPEC-194: Fake the Source of Data

An adversary takes advantage of improper authentication to provide data or services under a falsified identity. The purpose of using the falsified identity may be to prevent traceability of the provided data or to assume the rights granted to another individual. One of the simplest forms of this attack would be the creation of an email message with a modified "From" field in order to appear that the message was sent from someone other than the actual sender. The root of the attack (in this case the email system) fails to properly authenticate the source and this results in the reader incorrectly performing the instructed action. Results of the attack vary depending on the details of the attack, but common results include privilege escalation, obfuscation of other attacks, and data corruption/manipulation.

CAPEC-22: Exploiting Trust in Client

An attack of this type exploits vulnerabilities in client/server communication channel authentication and data integrity. It leverages the implicit trust a server places in the client, or more importantly, that which the server believes is the client. An attacker executes this type of attack by communicating directly with the server where the server believes it is communicating only with a valid client. There are numerous variations of this type of attack.

CAPEC-57: Utilizing REST's Trust in the System Resource to Obtain Sensitive Data

This attack utilizes a REST(REpresentational State Transfer)-style applications' trust in the system resources and environment to obtain sensitive data once SSL is terminated.

CAPEC-593: Session Hijacking

This type of attack involves an adversary that exploits weaknesses in an application's use of sessions in performing authentication. The adversary is able to steal or manipulate an active session and use it to gain unathorized access to the application.

CAPEC-633: Token Impersonation

An adversary exploits a weakness in authentication to create an access token (or equivalent) that impersonates a different entity, and then associates a process/thread to that that impersonated token. This action causes a downstream user to make a decision or take action that is based on the assumed identity, and not the response that blocks the adversary.

CAPEC-650: Upload a Web Shell to a Web Server

By exploiting insufficient permissions, it is possible to upload a web shell to a web server in such a way that it can be executed remotely. This shell can have various capabilities, thereby acting as a "gateway" to the underlying web server. The shell might execute at the higher permission level of the web server, providing the ability the execute malicious code at elevated levels.

CAPEC-94: Adversary in the Middle (AiTM)

An adversary targets the communication between two components (typically client and server), in order to alter or obtain data from transactions. A general approach entails the adversary placing themself within the communication channel between the two components.
