A flaw was found in SSSD's IdP authentication provider
High7.5CVE-2026-87853 · Published Sep 9, 2026 · updated Sep 10, 2026
A flaw was found in SSSD's IdP authentication provider. The eval_access_token_buf() function compares the OIDC subject identifier using strncmp() with the authenticated user's identifier length, performing a prefix comparison instead of an exact match. An attacker whose IdP identifier is a strict prefix of a target user's identifier can authenticate as the target user.
