High · 8.0 CVE-2021-32702 EUVD-2021-1297GHSA-954c-jjx6-cxv7

Reflected XSS from the callback handler's error query parameter

Published Jun 25, 2021 · Updated Aug 3, 2024 · Assigned by GitHub_M

Description

The Auth0 Next.js SDK is a library for implementing user authentication in Next.js applications. Versions before and including `1.4.1` are vulnerable to reflected XSS. An attacker can execute arbitrary code by providing an XSS payload in the `error` query parameter which is then processed by the callback handler as an error message. You are affected by this vulnerability if you are using `@auth0/nextjs-auth0` version `1.4.1` or lower **unless** you are using custom error handling that does not return the error message in an HTML response. Upgrade to version `1.4.1` to resolve. The fix adds basic HTML escaping to the error message and it should not impact your users.
