  - Python Social Auth is a social authentication/registration mechanism. Prior to version 5.0.0, the SAML
    backend accepted SAML responses on the Assertion Consumer Service endpoint without verifying that they
    matched a previously issued `AuthnRequest`. Applications using SAML account association could allow an
    attacker with a valid account on a trusted IdP to link the attacker's SAML identity to a logged-in
    victim's local account. The attacker could then authenticate through SAML and gain access to the victim's
    account. The issue affects applications using the SAML backend together with authenticated account
    association. The issue has been fixed in version 5.0.0 by validating SAML responses against stored
    `AuthnRequest` IDs. (CVE-2026-57175)
