VectorAV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
A flaw was found in SSSD's IdP authentication provider. The eval access token buf() function compares the OIDC subject identifier using strncmp() with the authenticated user's identifier length, performing a prefix comparison instead of an exact match. An attacker whose IdP identifier is a strict prefix of a target user's identifier can authenticate as the target user.
