CVE-2026-53513: @better-auth/sso provider registration has server-side request forgery via unvalidated OIDC endpoints
(updated )
The @better-auth/sso plugin’s POST /sso/register endpoint accepts attacker-controlled oidcConfig.userInfoEndpoint, tokenEndpoint, and jwksEndpoint URLs when skipDiscovery: true is set, persists them on the ssoProvider row without origin validation, then issues server-side fetches to those URLs during the OIDC callback. The fetched response body is reflected through the user profile, producing a non-blind SSRF reachable by any authenticated session. The same primitive exists on POST /sso/update-provider.
