CVE-2026-66883

MediumCVSS 6.3
Published: Updated: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

A vulnerability in the Oidcc.Plug.Authorize module of the oidcc_plug library causes the User-Agent session binding to be ineffective. Due to incorrect header matching (case sensitivity), nil is always stored in the session, and the callback-side check is skipped. As a result, the defense-in-depth control fails silently, even when check_useragent is enabled.

Risk Assessment

The risk is the removal of one layer of protection against session replay attacks from a different client. An attacker could complete an authorization flow from a different User-Agent, increasing susceptibility to session theft, although other mechanisms (CSRF, nonce, PKCE) remain unaffected.

Recommendation

Upgrade oidcc_plug to version 0.5.0 or later, which contains the fix. If upgrading is not possible, consider additional session binding mechanisms, such as IP-based binding or extra security controls.

Original NVD description (English source)

Improper Handling of Case Sensitivity vulnerability in Erlang Ecosystem Foundation oidcc_plug (Oidcc.Plug.Authorize module) renders the user agent session binding inert, removing a defense in depth control against replay of a stolen session. This vulnerability is associated with program files lib/oidcc/plug/authorize.ex and lib/oidcc/plug/authorization_callback.ex, and program routines Oidcc.Plug.Authorize.call/2 and Oidcc.Plug.AuthorizationCallback.call/2. Oidcc.Plug.Authorize.call/2 reads the initiating client's user agent with get_req_header(conn, "User-Agent"). Plug lowercases incoming header names, but get_req_header/2 matches the supplied key exactly and performs no normalization of its own, so the mixed-case lookup always returns an empty list and nil is written into the session. On the callback side, Oidcc.Plug.AuthorizationCallback treats a stored nil user agent as nothing to compare and returns :ok without inspecting the request. The two behaviours combine so that the check passes unconditionally on every request, including for deployments that explicitly opted in with check_useragent: true, and an authorization callback can be completed from a different user agent than the one that initiated the flow without detection. The check fails open silently, with no error and no log entry, so a deployment cannot tell the binding is absent. The impact is limited to defense in depth. The inert check does not by itself allow an attacker to complete an authorization flow; it removes one layer that would otherwise hinder use of a stolen or leaked session, such as an exfiltrated session cookie replayed from a different client. The CSRF/state, nonce, and PKCE checks are unaffected and continue to function. Deployments that never enabled check_useragent are not affected in practice, since they never expected the binding. The corresponding lookup in Oidcc.Plug.AuthorizationCallback correctly uses the lowercase key and is not affected. This issue affects oidcc_plug: from 0.1.0-alpha.3 before 0.5.0.
