NextAuth.js before 4.10.3 and 3.29.10 sending verification requests (magic link) to unwanted emails

CVE-2022-35924GHSA-xv97-c62v-4587

What to do

Vendor fix available. Upgrade each affected package to the fixed version on its release line (next-auth 4.10.3, 3.29.10), redeploy, then verify what is actually installed.

This page has no inventory attached, so it cannot say whether you are affected. A vendor fix is not proof that your deployment is fixed.

Source description

As published by the source; long descriptions are shortened.

Impact next-auth users who are using the EmailProvider either in versions before 4.10.3 or 3.29.10 are affected. If an attacker could forge a request that sent a comma-separated list of emails (eg.: attacker@attacker.com,victim@victim.com) to the sign-in endpoint, NextAuth.js would send emails to both the attacker and the victim's e-mail addresses. The attacker could then login as a newly created user with the email being attacker@attacker.com,victim@victim.com. This means that basic authorization like email.endsWith("@victim.com") in the signIn callback would fail to communicate a threat to the developer and would let the attacker bypass authorization, even with an @attacker.com address. Patches We patched this vulnerability in v4.10.3 and v3.29.10 by normalizing the email value that is sent to the sign-in endpoint before accessing it anywhere else. We also added a normalizeIdentifier callback on the EmailProvider configuration, where you can further tweak your requirements for what…

# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2022-35924

Advisory: NextAuth.js before 4.10.3 and 3.29.10 sending verification requests (magic link) to unwanted emails
IDs: CVE-2022-35924, GHSA-xv97-c62v-4587
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2022-35924 (revision 2, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 12:17 UTC)
Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected.
Severity: Critical (CVSS 9.1)
Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV.
Vendor response: Vendor fix available; fixed versions by package: next-auth 4.10.3, 3.29.10. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- npm next-auth: affected >= 4.0.0, < 4.10.3; < 3.29.10; fixed in 4.10.3, 3.29.10

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- `npm ls next-auth --all`: lists every installed copy and version, including transitive ones. Run in the project root after `npm ci`.

## Supported action
Upgrade each affected component to a fixed version on its release line. For a transitive dependency, upgrade the parent package or add an override or constraint, then regenerate the lockfile. Redeploy every environment that ran an affected version.

## Required regression checks
- Run the test suite and a production build.
- Exercise the features that depend on next-auth.
- Repeat the inspection and confirm that only fixed versions remain installed.

## Rollback considerations
- Keep the previous lockfile and deployment artifact. Rolling back reinstates the vulnerable version, so apply any documented mitigation while you fix forward.

## Unresolved questions
- Which deployments run an affected version?
- Exploitation status can change. Check again before lowering the priority.
- Mark the work resolved only after the fixed version is verified in production.
