CVE-2026-73683 — Laravel Socialite Facebook Provider Authentication Bypass via Nonce Replay

Laravel Socialite's Facebook provider contains an authentication bypass vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to replay captured OIDC id_tokens by exploiting the missing nonce claim validation in the getUserByOIDCToken() function within FacebookProvider.php. Attackers who obtain a valid, unexpired id_token issued for the same Facebook App ID can submit the captured token to the backend userFromToken() endpoint, bypassing authentication controls because signature, aud, and iss checks pass while no session-bound nonce comparison is performed, resulting in unauthorized access to victim accounts.

Remediation

The vendor's own words where we have them.

Upgrade Socialite to a fixed release. Apply vendor patches per advisory and restrict external exposure of the affected component until patched.

First 24 hours

Ordered from the record's own fields — exposure first, because you cannot patch what you have not found.

  • Identify exposed assets running affected vendor/product/version combinations.
  • Prioritize based on EPSS, PoC availability, and external exposure.
  • Search available logs for exploit probes, errors, authentication anomalies, or suspicious child processes matching the vulnerability class.

CWE-294 · Authentication Bypass by Capture-replay

  • Gain Privileges or Assume Identity

Mitigation: Utilize some sequence or time stamping functionality along with a checksum which takes this into account in order to ensure that messages can be parsed only once.

What should defenders know first?

CVE-2026-73683 is Laravel Socialite Facebook Provider Authentication Bypass via Nonce Replay, a high vulnerability affecting Socialite from Laravel. The current evidence does not list it in CISA KEV, and the exploit status is: Active exploitation is not confirmed from current sources for CVE-2026-73683. Public exploit evidence is: A public PoC is not confirmed from current sources for CVE-2026-73683. The affected-version evidence is listed in the key facts and affected products tables. Defenders should first verify whether exposed or business-critical assets run those versions, then apply vendor patches or mitigations, restrict reachable attack surface, and preserve logs for detection review. CVSS 8.1 describes technical severity, while EPSS 0% helps estimate near-term exploit likelihood; neither replaces asset context. Unknown fields should remain explicit in tickets, and threat actor, IOC, victimology, or payload claims should not be added unless a cited source supports them. Monitor CISA KEV, vendor advisories, NVD changes, public PoC repositories, and internal telemetry for update triggers.
