Summary

Socialstream has a Potential Account Takeover Vulnerability in Social Account Linking Due to Missing User Consent After OAuth Callback

Description

When linking a social account to an already authenticated user, the lack of a confirmation step introduces a security risk. This is exacerbated if ->stateless() is used in the Socialite configuration, bypassing state verification and making the exploit easier. Developers should ensure that users explicitly confirm account linking and avoid configurations that skip critical security checks.

Resolution

Socialstream v6.2 introduces a new custom route that requires a user to "Confirm" or "Deny" a request to link a social account.

Impact

The application does not adequately verify the identity of a user, device, or process before granting access. Typical impact: unauthorized access to functions or data reserved for authenticated parties.

Affected versions

joelbutcher/socialstream (>= 6.0.0, < 6.2.0) joelbutcher/socialstream (< 5.6.0)

Security releases

joelbutcher/socialstream → 6.2.0 (composer) joelbutcher/socialstream → 5.6.0 (composer)

Kodem intelligence

Severity tells you how bad this could be in the worst case. It does not tell you whether you are exposed. Exploitability and impact are functions of runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A vulnerable package can sit in your dependency tree and never run.

Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter. Kodem's runtime-powered SCA identifies whether this CVE is reachable in your applications.

It is fixed in 6.2.0, 5.6.0. The application does not adequately verify the identity of a user, device, or process before granting access.
  2. Which versions of joelbutcher/socialstream are affected by CVE-2024-56329? joelbutcher/socialstream (composer) versions >= 6.0.0, < 6.2.0 is affected.
  3. Is there a fix for CVE-2024-56329? Yes. CVE-2024-56329 is fixed in 6.2.0, 5.6.0. Upgrade to this version or later.
  4. Is CVE-2024-56329 exploitable, and should I be worried? Whether CVE-2024-56329 is exploitable in your environment depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable. A CVSS score is a worst-case rating; it does not account for your specific deployment, configuration, or usage patterns. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to show which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so you can focus on the ones that represent real risk.

  5. What actually determines whether CVE-2024-56329 is exploitable, and how bad it is? Exploitability and impact are not fixed properties of a CVE. They depend on runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A high CVSS score on a dependency that never runs is not the same as real risk. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter.
  6. How do I fix CVE-2024-56329?
    • Upgrade joelbutcher/socialstream to 6.2.0 or later
    • Upgrade joelbutcher/socialstream to 5.6.0 or later
