|---|---|---|---|
| PyPI | social-auth-app-django | < 5.4.1 | 5.4.1 |
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
### Impact
Due to default case-insensitive collation in MySQL or MariaDB databases, third-party authentication user IDs are not case-sensitive and could cause different IDs to match.
### Patches
This issue has been addressed by https://github.com/python-social-auth/social-app-django/pull/566 and fix released in 5.4.1.
### Workarounds
An immediate workaround would be to change collation of the affected field:
```mysql
ALTER TABLE `social_auth_usersocialauth` MODIFY `uid` varchar(255) COLLATE `utf8_bin`;
```
