This entry duplicated another and was withdrawn in its favour.
Superseded by ETK-2026-3439.
ETK-2026-3415Zero's internal tracking ID, independent of the CVE number.
withdrawndescription
Servers that register the expo() plugin from affected @better-auth/expo releases can sign attacker-controlled authorization state using the application secret. An unauthenticated attacker who knows a user's email address may be able to take over that account and alter its email address; session-cache use can expand impact when a user ID is known. Wildcard trustedOrigins entries can also unintentionally trust malformed or unintended URLs.
mitigation
Upgrade both @better-auth/expo and better-auth to 1.7.16, or to 1.8.0-beta.5 on the beta release line, then rotate the application secret if the endpoint was reachable. Remove the expo() plugin if Expo social sign-in is not needed, and review wildcard entries in trustedOrigins.
fixed in 1.7.16, 1.8.0-beta.5
outcome
No artifact: an exploit or check was attempted but could not be produced at this moment.
