Summary
The built-in social login providers accept an OAuth callback even when the state value is absent on both sides, so the anti-CSRF check passes for a callback that never came from a genuine login attempt. This defeats the state-based CSRF protection under default usage.
Details
The state check treated two absent values as a match, so a callback that omits state — and for which no state was ever stored — was allowed to redeem the authorization code. Hono's csrf() middleware does not help: it only inspects form-style requests, while the OAuth callback is a top-level GET navigation it treats as safe.
This affects the google, github, facebook, discord, twitch, linkedin, and msentra providers. The x (Twitter) provider is not exploitable due to its PKCE binding.
Impact
An attacker can make a victim's browser complete an OAuth callback that binds the attacker's identity instead of the victim's, leading to login CSRF (the victim silently acts inside the attacker's account) or forced account linking (the attacker's identity is linked to the victim's account, enabling later sign-in as the victim). Affects applications using an affected provider on @hono/oauth-providers 0.8.5 or earlier.
