Description Adam Mariš 2016-02-08 09:38:57 UTC

It was found that when authorizing an application against an OAuth 2 API provider, Spring Social is vulnerable to a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attack. The attack involves a malicious user beginning an OAuth 2 authorization flow using a fake account with an OAuth 2 API provider, but completing it by tricking the victim into visiting the callback request in their browser. As a consequence, the attacker will have access to the victim's account on the vulnerable site by way of the fake provider account.

Comment 1 Adam Mariš 2016-02-08 09:39:18 UTC

Created springframework-social tracking bugs for this issue:

Affects: fedora-23 [bug 1305445]

Comment 2 gil cattaneo 2016-02-08 14:30:20 UTC

I cant update to 1.1.3, because newer release required SpringFramework >= 4.0.6.RELEASE. This is not updatable, it breaks compatible with many packages

Comment 3 Fedora Update System 2016-02-17 14:20:59 UTC

springframework-social-1.0.3-3.fc23 has been pushed to the Fedora 23 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
