GHSA-3q97-vjpp-c8rp: Socialstream has a Potential Account Takeover Vulnerability in Social Account Linking Due to Missing User Consent After OAuth Callback

Description

When linking a social account to an already authenticated user, the lack of a confirmation step introduces a security risk. This is exacerbated if ->stateless() is used in the Socialite configuration, bypassing state verification and making the exploit easier. Developers should ensure that users explicitly confirm account linking and avoid configurations that skip critical security checks.

Resolution

Socialstream v6.2 introduces a new custom route that requires a user to “Confirm” or “Deny” a request to link a social account.
