CVE-2026-107370 Auth0 CVE debrief
CVE-2026-107370 Improper Request Handling for Active Directory Logins in auth0-lock. The auth0-lock library mishandles authentication transactions, leading to potential credential exposure. Defenders should assess exposure, verify remediation, and review configurations, especially for Active Directory logins. This issue arises when usernames for Active Directory connections are domains without local parts, causing user-submitted form data to be appended to URLs as query string parameters.

Who should care
Defenders responsible for auth0-lock configurations, especially those using Active Directory logins, should assess exposure and verify remediation. They should also review configurations and monitor for suspicious activity. This includes operators, platform administrators, vulnerability management teams, and security teams.
Why it matters
Defenders should prioritize verifying and remediating auth0-lock usage in Active Directory login contexts due to potential credential exposure and required configuration reviews.
- Potential credential exposure through query string parameters
- Required verification of auth0-lock versions and configurations
- Necessary review of Active Directory login setups
Technical summary
The auth0-lock library initiates authentication transactions with a GET request instead of a POST request when a username for an Active Directory connection is a domain without a local part. This results in user-submitted form data being appended to the URL as query string parameters. Defenders should prioritize verifying and remediating auth0-lock usage, especially in Active Directory login contexts, to prevent potential credential exposure. Affected deployments should be identified, and configurations reviewed for potential exposure.
Defensive priority
Defenders should prioritize verifying and remediating auth0-lock usage, especially in Active Directory login contexts, to prevent potential credential exposure.
Recommended defensive actions
- Verify auth0-lock version and update to a non-affected version if possible
- Review Active Directory login configurations for auth0-lock
- Monitor for suspicious login activity
- Confirm whether affected product deployments exist in managed environments and assign an owner for follow-up
- Review compensating controls for exposed systems while remediation is scheduled and verified
- Track exceptions, retest remediated assets, and close the item only after evidence is documented
