CVE-2026-41427: OAuth 2.1 Provider: Unprivileged users can register OAuth clients
(updated )
The clientPrivileges option documents a create action, but the OAuth client creation endpoints did not invoke the hook before persisting new clients. Deployments that configured clientPrivileges to restrict client registration were not actually restricted — any authenticated user could reach the create endpoints and register an OAuth client with attacker-chosen redirect URIs and metadata.
Non-create operations (read, list, update, delete, rotate) enforced the hook correctly. Only the create path was missing the check.
