CVE-2026-92161 Details
Description
FriendsOfFlarum OAuth allows users to log in to Flarum with GitHub, Twitter, Facebook, and other providers. Prior to 1.7.4 and 2.0.0-beta.4, the Discord OAuth provider does not check the verified field returned for an OAuth email before passing the address to Flarum core as trusted through provideTrustedEmail(). When Discord sign-in is enabled, an unauthenticated attacker who knows the email address of a Flarum user can configure a Discord account with that unverified address and a verified phone number, then sign in to cause Flarum to match the trusted address, link the attacker-controlled Discord identity to the existing user, and authenticate as the victim without a password or victim interaction. Exploitation requires that the victim's email address is not already associated with a Discord account, and it can compromise administrator accounts. Other bundled providers were not confirmed to be practically exploitable by this method because their relevant authentication flows return only verified or confirmed email addresses. This issue is fixed in versions 1.7.4 and 2.0.0-beta.4.
A vulnerability in the FriendsOfFlarum OAuth extension for Flarum allows for unauthenticated account takeover via Discord OAuth. This issue is present in versions through 1.7.3 and 2.0.0-beta.3. The vulnerability arises because the Discord OAuth provider did not verify the email's authenticity before marking it as trusted. An attacker could exploit this by using an unverified email address to log into a Flarum account, potentially compromising administrator privileges.
Users can update to Flarum OAuth versions 1.7.4 or 2.0.0-beta.4, both of which address this vulnerability. Alternatively, Discord OAuth can be disabled in the extension settings.
