CVE-2026-123799

SuperTokens Core versions 7.0.0 through 11.0.9, 11.1.4, 11.2.4, 11.3.8, 11.4.8, 12.0.11, 12.1.2, 12.2.1, and 12.3.1 contain a race condition between createNewSession and unlinkAccounts. A user who controls the linked login method can exploit this race to retain a signed, database-backed, refreshable session as the former primary identity after that method is unlinked.

SuperTokens Core is an open source authentication server. From 10.1.0 until 11.0.9, 11.1.4, 11.2.4, 11.3.8, 11.4.8, 12.0.11, 12.1.2, 12.2.1, and 12.3.1, loadOptionsById_Transaction and getUserInfoByCredentialId_Transaction perform application-scoped WebAuthn lookups without constraining them to the requested tenant, and WebAuthN.signIn does not verify tenant membership. In a multi-tenant deployment using WebAuthn with a shared user pool, an ordinary user who possesses their own valid passkey in one tenant can submit its assertion to another tenant's sign-in endpoint in the same application and be authenticated there despite having no membership in the target tenant. This issue is fixed in versions 11.0.9, 11.1.4, 11.2.4, 11.3.8, 11.4.8, 12.0.11, 12.1.2, 12.2.1, and 12.3.1.

SuperTokens Core is an open source authentication server. From 11.3.0 until 11.3.8, 11.4.8, 12.0.11, 12.1.2, 12.2.1, and 12.3.1, a licensed deployment with a configured SAML client can authenticate an identity from an assertion that did not satisfy the audience check. When the identity provider uses assertion-level signing, an attacker who has a still-valid IdP-signed assertion naming the victim for any audience and the attacker's own valid assertion for the target audience can combine them because validateSamlResponseAudience accepts an audience from one assertion while extractAllClaims takes the final NameID and attributes from another; response-level signing does not expose this multi-assertion variant. Independently, an assertion from an identity provider configured for the target deployment but issued to another SuperTokens deployment using the shared default saml_sp_entity_id can satisfy the target's audience check. Successful exploitation authenticates the attacker as the victim IdP user. This issue is fixed in versions 11.3.8, 11.4.8, 12.0.11, 12.1.2, 12.2.1, and 12.3.1.

SuperTokens Core is an open source authentication server. From 11.3.0 until 11.3.8, 11.4.8, 12.0.11, 12.1.2, 12.2.1, and 12.3.1, SAML.handleCallback does not consume RelayState, record assertion identifiers, or enforce Response.InResponseTo. In the SP-initiated flow, an attacker who obtains a legitimately issued, still-valid SAML response and its matching RelayState can resubmit the pair to /recipe/saml/callback before the assertion's NotOnOrAfter time; in the IdP-initiated flow, the assertion can be replayed without RelayState. The missing Response.InResponseTo check also permits an in-progress login to be completed with an assertion for a different identity and fails to enforce allowIDPInitiatedLogin=false. The callback does not validate Destination or SubjectConfirmationData Recipient and NotOnOrAfter, and each accepted callback mints a fresh, independently redeemable authorization code carrying the captured user's identity. This issue is fixed in versions 11.3.8, 11.4.8, 12.0.11, 12.1.2, 12.2.1, and 12.3.1.

SuperTokens Core is an open source authentication server. From 11.3.0 until 11.3.7, 11.4.7, and 12.0.10, SAML.verifySamlResponseSignature calls OpenSAML SignatureValidator.validate without first applying SAMLSignatureProfileValidator. The Core can therefore accept a cryptographically valid signature that references a different XML element from the Response or Assertion whose NameID and attributes are used for authentication. An ordinary user of the configured identity provider can move a genuinely signed element elsewhere in the document while supplying an attacker-authored identity-bearing element, causing XML Signature Wrapping authentication as another IdP user. Both response-level and assertion-level signing paths are affected, and SP-initiated login remains reachable without enabling allowIDPInitiatedLogin. This issue is fixed in versions 11.3.7, 11.4.7, and 12.0.10.

SuperTokens Core prior to 11.3.6, 11.4.6, and 12.0.8 allows app-specific management requests using an unknown tenant path and an older supported cdi-version to bypass API-key and public-tenant enforcement. In WebserverAPI.java, checkIPAccess and assertThatAPIKeyCheckPasses suppress TenantOrAppNotFoundException, while the public-tenant guard applies only to CDI versions 5.0 and later. An unauthenticated caller can use PUT /ghosttenant/recipe/role and GET /ghosttenant/recipe/roles to create and enumerate application roles without a valid API key.

SuperTokens Core versions from 6.0.0 until 6.0.24, 7.0.23, 8.0.7, 9.0.6, 9.1.6, 9.2.7, 9.3.5, 10.0.8, 10.1.9, 11.0.9, 11.1.4, 11.2.4, 11.3.8, 11.4.8, 12.0.11, 12.1.2, 12.2.1, and 12.3.1 contain a flaw in Multitenancy.checkPermissionsForCreateOrUpdate that does not adequately authorize updates to a parent connection URI domain or the base tenant. In a licensed multi-tenant deployment with multiple applications under one non-default connection URI domain and separate API keys, an attacker holding one application's valid API key can update the parent domain, replace sibling application keys, read or modify sibling users, obtain sessions as those users, establish persistence through a sibling dashboard user, and lock out the sibling application's key. The v2 create or update handlers, when the optional identifier is omitted, produce a base-tenant target that skips permission branches and the enterprise-feature gate, allowing changes to firstFactors, required secondary factors, and recipe-enabled flags affecting login integrity and availability; the base-target variant still rejects coreConfig and does not establish key theft. The issue is fixed in versions 6.0.24, 7.0.23, 8.0.7, 9.0.6, 9.1.6, 9.2.7, 9.3.5, 10.0.8, 10.1.9, 11.0.9, 11.1.4, 11.2.4, 11.3.8, 11.4.8, 12.0.11, 12.1.2, 12.2.1, and 12.3.1.

A lack of tenant separation in SuperTokens Core v6.0.0 to v11.4.0 allows an authenticated party in one tenant to access sessions, data, and endpoints of another tenant.
