Who should care

Administrators and users of Logto's single sign-on (SSO) system should be aware of this vulnerability and take immediate action to prevent exploitation. Affected operators, platform administrators, vulnerability management teams, and security teams should review the vulnerability and implement necessary mitigations.

Technical summary

The vulnerability exists due to Logto's unverified email-based SSO account linking mechanism. An attacker can exploit this by registering an identity at a permissive Identity Provider (IdP) using a victim's email address. This allows the attacker to gain unauthorized access to the victim's account without proper verification. The vulnerability affects Logto's single sign-on system and has a high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Defensive priority

High

Recommended defensive actions

  • Immediately update Logto to the latest version that addresses this vulnerability.
  • Implement additional verification steps for email-based SSO account linking.
  • Monitor user accounts for suspicious activity related to SSO login attempts.
  • Consider using alternative authentication methods that provide stronger verification.
  • Review compensating controls for exposed systems while remediation is scheduled and verified.
  • Check relevant monitoring, detection, and logs for exposed assets that need extra review.
  • Track exceptions, retest remediated assets, and close the item only after evidence is documented.
