CVE-2026-49443 / GHSA-xp7f-xjjx-gwm8¶
SourceStage bypass via empty POST¶
Summary¶
The Source stage can be bypassed by sending an empty POST.
Patches¶
authentik 2026.5.1, 2026.2.4, and 2025.12.6 fix this issue.
Impact¶
If a Source stage is bound to a flow and the source exposes a ui_login_button and an attacker can reach the Source stage, they can bypass that stage, effectively skipping authentication at that source.
Workarounds¶
None. We recommend not using Source stages until upgrading to a suitable version.
