AnalysisAIv1 – Mar 12, 2026

The webauthn-lib PHP library before version 5.2.4 incorrectly validates origin restrictions by comparing only hostname components, allowing attackers to bypass authentication policies that rely on scheme or port differentiation. This enables an attacker to authenticate from origins that should be blocked, such as using HTTP instead of HTTPS or non-standard ports. Applications using this library with strict origin policies are affected until they upgrade to the patched version.

Prior to 5.2.4, when allowed_origins is configured, CheckAllowedOrigins reduces URL-like values to their host component and accepts on host match alone. This makes exact origin policies impossible to express: scheme and port differences are silently ignored. This vulnerability is fixed in 5.2.4.
