How to Fix CVE-2025-65431

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Django allauth dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

django-allauth fixed: 65.13.0 
pip install django-allauth>=65.13.0
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

pip show django-allauth

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Python environment is affected by CVE-2025-65431, inspect your installed packages using pip:

pip show django-allauth

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Django allauth in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 65.13.0), your application is affected.

Note: The pip show django-allauth command checks currently installed packages in your active Python environment.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-287: Improper Authentication, where when an actor claims to have a given identity, the product does not prove or insufficiently proves that the claim is correct. In Django allauth, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

An issue was discovered in allauth-django before 65.13.0. Both Okta and NetIQ were using preferred_username as the identifier for third-party provider accounts. That value may be mutable and should therefore be avoided for authorization decisions. The providers are now using sub instead.
