A vulnerability in authentik, an open-source identity provider, allows an attacker with the ability to modify source connections and an account in one of the configured sources to log into any account. This issue affects authentik versions prior to 2025.12.6, 2026.2.4, and 2026.5.1. The vulnerability arises because the 'UserSourceConnection.user' and 'GroupSourceConnection.group' fields can be changed through the API, enabling low-privilege attackers to misrepresent users or groups and authenticate as them.
Users should update to authentik versions 2025.12.6, 2026.2.4, or 2026.5.1.
