CVE-2026-55954 Details
Description
Authentication Bypass by Spoofing vulnerability in ueberauth ueberauth_apple allows account takeover via unvalidated ID token claims. The Ueberauth.Strategy.Apple.Token.payload/2 function verifies the JWT signature of the callback id_token against Apple's JWKS but does not validate any registered claims. The iss, aud, exp, and iat claims are read from the token and passed on to Ueberauth.Strategy.Apple.handle_callback!/1, which derives the logged-in user's uid and email directly from the unvalidated sub claim. An attacker who obtains any Apple-signed ID token bearing the victim's sub (via a captured expired token, or via an ID token issued to a sibling client in the same Apple developer team) can replay it against the vulnerable callback and be authenticated as the victim. The absent exp check makes stolen tokens usable indefinitely, and the absent aud check enables cross-application account takeover across clients that share an Apple developer team. This issue affects ueberauth_apple: from 0.1.0 before 0.6.2.
A vulnerability in the Ueberauth authentication strategy for Apple Sign-In allows for account takeover by bypassing authentication through unvalidated ID token claims. The issue arises because the Ueberauth.Strategy.Apple.Token.payload/2 function verifies the JWT signature of the ID token against Apple's JSON Web Key Set (JWKS) but fails to validate essential registered claims such as 'iss', 'aud', 'exp', and 'iat'. This oversight enables an attacker to replay a captured Apple-signed ID token, bearing the victim's subject identifier, and gain unauthorized access to the victim's account. The vulnerability affects Ueberauth versions 0.1.0 prior to 0.6.2.
Users can upgrade to Ueberauth_apple version 0.6.2 or later, where this vulnerability has been addressed.
