Critical CVE-2019-19723 GHSA-v6c5-hwqg-3x5q

Improper Authorization in passport-cognito

Published Sep 4, 2020 · Updated Nov 8, 2023 · Assigned by GHSA

Description

All versions of `passport-cognito` are vulnerable to Improper Authorization. The package fails to properly scope the variables containing authorization information, such as access token, refresh token and ID token. This causes a race condition where simultaneous authenticated users may receive authorization tokens for a different user. This would allow a user to take actions on another user's behalf.

## Recommendation

No fix is currently available. Consider using an alternative package until a fix is made available.
