Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

Authlib versions before 1.9.0 are affected. In the OpenID implicit grant, the check that decides whether an ID token is required uses the raw requested scope rather than the scope filtered by the client's allowed scopes, so a registered client that is allowed an id_token response type but not the openid scope can add openid to its request and receive a signed ID token with the user's identity claims after the user approves. Exploiting this requires the attacker to control such a registered client and a user to log in and consent. Upgrade to Authlib 1.9.0 or later.
