Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
Python Social Auth's social-auth-core package, versions before 5.0.2, is vulnerable in its LINE Login backend (LineOAuth2), which did not validate the OAuth state returned during login. An attacker can send a victim a crafted callback carrying the attacker's own LINE authorization code, which can log the victim into the attacker's account or, if account linking is enabled, link the attacker's LINE identity to the victim's account. Upgrade social-auth-core to version 5.0.2. Only applications that enable the LINE backend are affected.
