# OIDC Refresh Token Flow Bypasses Authorization Revocation, Account Disabling, and Group Restrictions ## Summary The `createTokenFromRefreshToken` function (oidc_service.go:451) validates the refresh token's cryptographic integrity but does not re-validate the user's current authorization state before issuing new tokens. This allows three bypasses: 1. **Authorization revocation bypass**: After a user revokes an OIDC client's authorization, the client can continue refreshing tokens indefinitely because `RevokeAuthorizedClient` does not delete associated refresh tokens, and the refresh flow does not check if the authorization record still exists. 2. **Disabled user bypass**: After an admin disables a user account, pre-existing refresh tokens continue to work because the OIDC token endpoint does not check `user.Disabled`. Session-based access is properly blocked by auth middleware, but the OIDC refresh path bypasses it entirely. 3. **Group restriction bypass**: After removing a user from an OIDC client's allowed user groups, the refresh token continues to work because `createTokenFromRefreshToken` does not call `IsUserGroupAllowedToAuthorize`. Each refresh rotates the token wit

What to do next
- investigate
Identify the exact component and deployed version, examine the linked publisher’s conditions, and retain evidence of any mitigation.
Confirm current vendor support, compatibility and deployment evidence. This report has not tested a fix in your system. FIRST EPSS
A fixed release is not deployment evidence.
Check current vendor support and compatibility. After making a change, verify the deployed build and relevant runtime conditions. Keep the evidence, owner and time. An updated lockfile alone does not prove what is running.
