Laravel Socialite OIDC ID Token Auth Bypass (CVE-2026-73683)
CVE-2026-73683 Published on August 14, 2026
Laravel Socialite Facebook Provider Authentication Bypass via Nonce Replay
Laravel Socialite's Facebook provider contains an authentication bypass vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to replay captured OIDC id_tokens by exploiting the missing nonce claim validation in the getUserByOIDCToken() function within FacebookProvider.php. Attackers who obtain a valid, unexpired id_token issued for the same Facebook App ID can submit the captured token to the backend userFromToken() endpoint, bypassing authentication controls because signature, aud, and iss checks pass while no session-bound nonce comparison is performed, resulting in unauthorized access to victim accounts.
Vulnerability Analysis
CVE-2026-73683 can be exploited with network access, and does not require authorization privileges or user interaction. This vulnerability is consided to have a high level of attack complexity. The potential impact of an exploit of this vulnerability is considered to be very high.
Weakness Type
Authentication Bypass by Capture-replay
A capture-replay flaw exists when the design of the software makes it possible for a malicious user to sniff network traffic and bypass authentication by replaying it to the server in question to the same effect as the original message (or with minor changes). Capture-replay attacks are common and can be difficult to defeat without cryptography. They are a subset of network injection attacks that rely on observing previously-sent valid commands, then changing them slightly if necessary and resending the same commands to the server.
Affected Versions
Laravel Socialite:- Before 5.29.0 is affected.
