CVE-2025-71400

better-auth passkeyVulnerabilityCVSS 7.1

better-auth passkey versions before 1.4.0 contain an insecure direct object reference vulnerability in the passkey deletion endpoint that allows authenticated users to delete arbitrary passkeys by ID. Attackers with valid sessions can submit crafted requests to the delete-passkey endpoint with enumerated passkey IDs to remove other users' passkeys.

No public exploitation has been reported so far. No distribution fix is listed yet; apply vendor mitigations and monitor.

Recommended action: Track your distribution's security tracker and apply the fix as soon as it ships.

Affected & fixed versions by distribution

Versions are the native distribution strings (backport-aware): RHEL/Debian/SUSE backport fixes, so compare with the distro version comparator (dpkg / rpm / vercmp), not the upstream version.

No affected package in the tracked watchlist yet (Debian, Ubuntu, Arch, SUSE, Red Hat...). Triage may still be pending.
