Root Cause Analysis
The vulnerability stems from two key factors: 1) The request_phase
implementation in strategies processed GET requests without CSRF validation
, and 2) The default configuration
explicitly permitted GET requests. Together, these allowed attackers to forge authentication initiation requests. The fix in v2.0.0 involved restricting allowed methods to POST
by default and adding CSRF validation
, confirming these as the vulnerable components.
