Session-binding bypass via mixed-case header lookup
Published Aug 4, 2026 · Updated Aug 4, 2026
Improper case handling in Erlang Ecosystem Foundation oidcc_plug before 0.5.0 allows remote attackers to bypass session binding. Oidcc.Plug.Authorize.call/2 requests the mixed-case User-Agent key after Plug lowercases header names, stores nil, and lets the callback's nil branch return success without comparing clients. Exploitation requires a stolen session and check_useragent enabled; CSRF/state, nonce, PKCE, and peer-IP checks remain effective.
