better-auth — Vulnerabilities & Security Advisories 5

Better-auth is an authentication and authorization library designed to secure web applications with customizable authentication flows. Historically, it has been susceptible to remote code execution (RCE), cross-site scripting (XSS), and privilege escalation vulnerabilities, primarily due to improper input validation and misconfigurations. The library's security posture has been impacted by five disclosed CVEs, highlighting risks in session management and OAuth implementations. While better-auth offers flexible security features, its complex configuration options have led to misdeployments in production environments. Users must carefully implement security controls to mitigate potential exploitation paths, particularly in multi-tenant deployments where isolation between user contexts is critical.
