Affected packages
• PyPI social-auth-app-django: < 5.4.1 → fixed in 5.4.1
Description
Impact
Due to default case-insensitive collation in MySQL or MariaDB databases, third-party authentication user IDs are not case-sensitive and could cause different IDs to match.
Patches
This issue has been addressed by https://github.com/python-social-auth/social-app-django/pull/566 and fix released in 5.4.1.
Workarounds
An immediate workaround would be to change collation of the affected field:
```mysql
ALTER TABLE `social_auth_usersocialauth` MODIFY `uid` varchar(255) COLLATE `utf8_bin`;
```
