CVE-2026-123800: SuperTokens Core authorization bypass in multitenancy connection URI updates

CVE-2026-123800 · Severity: critical · CVSS 9.9 · Published 2026-11-09

SuperTokens Core is an open-source authentication server used to manage user logins and sessions across applications. In multi-tenant deployments, an attacker with a valid API key for one application can exploit an authorization flaw to modify parent domain settings and API keys, allowing them to access other applications' user data, hijack sessions, and lock legitimate administrators out of their accounts.

Technologies: Supertokens Core. Vendors: Supertokens.

How to fix

  • Fixed in: 6.0.24, 7.0.23, 8.0.7, 9.0.6, 9.1.6, 9.2.7, 9.3.5, 10.0.8, 10.1.9, 11.0.9, 11.1.4, 11.2.4, 11.3.8, 11.4.8, 12.0.11, 12.1.2, 12.2.1, 12.3.1

Technical details

The vulnerability exists in the Multitenancy.checkPermissionsForCreateOrUpdate method, which fails to properly authorize updates to parent connection URI domains and base tenant configurations. An attacker with one application's API key can bypass permission checks to update parent domain credentials and sibling application keys in multi-tenant deployments. Additionally, omitting an optional identifier in v2 handlers allows modification of authentication factors and recipe-enabled flags that affect login security, bypassing the enterprise-feature gate.
