CVE-2026-29792 Details
Description
Feathersjs is a framework for creating web APIs and real-time applications with TypeScript or JavaScript. From 5.0.0 to before 5.0.42, an unauthenticated attacker can send a crafted GET request directly to /oauth/:provider/callback with a forged profile in the query string. The OAuth service's authentication payload has a fallback chain that reaches params.query (the raw request query) when Grant's session/state responses are empty. Since the attacker never initiated an OAuth authorize flow, Grant has no session to work with and produces no response, so the fallback fires. The forged profile then drives entity lookup and JWT minting. The attacker gets a valid access token for an existing user without ever contacting the OAuth provider. This vulnerability is fixed in 5.0.42.
A vulnerability in Feathersjs versions 5.0.0 prior to 5.0.42 allows an unauthenticated attacker to obtain a valid access token by sending a crafted GET request to /oauth/:provider/callback. The attack exploits a fallback mechanism in the OAuth authentication process that inadvertently allows the attacker to bypass the OAuth provider and directly mint a JWT for an existing user.
Users can upgrade to Feathersjs version 5.0.42 or later to address this vulnerability.
