CVE-2026-107371: auth0.js missing auth_time claim validation

CVE-2026-107371 · Severity: medium · CVSS 5.4 · Published 2026-10-13

The auth0.js library, which handles authentication and authorization for web applications, fails to validate the age of user authentication sessions. When an application requests a fresh login (maxAge parameter), the library may accept an older authentication token, allowing users to bypass freshness requirements and potentially access sensitive resources that should require re-authentication.

Vendors: Auth0.

Technical details

The authorize() method does not validate the auth_time claim in ID tokens against the requested maxAge parameter, allowing authentication events older than the maximum age to be accepted. This is a missing claim validation issue (CWE-613) that requires the application to explicitly pass a maxAge value and the user's existing authentication to exceed that threshold. An attacker with the ability to reuse old session credentials can bypass freshness checks.
