GHSA-xr8f-h2gw-9xh6: OAuth 2.1 Provider: Unprivileged users can register OAuth clients

April 16, 2026

An authorization bypass in the OAuth provider allows any authenticated low-privilege user to create OAuth clients even when the deployment configures clientPrivileges to restrict client creation. The option contract explicitly includes a create action, but the create paths never invoke that callback, so applications that rely on clientPrivileges for RBAC can be silently misconfigured into allowing unauthorized client registration.
