Overview

CVE-2026-45337 is a high-severity vulnerability. It was published on July 15, 2026 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.6 (HIGH).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.6, rated HIGH. It can be exploited remotely over the network. Some level of privileges is required for exploitation.

Technical description

Better Auth is an authentication and authorization library for TypeScript. From 1.6.0 until 1.6.11, the deviceAuthorization plugin treats any authenticated session as the owner of any pending device code because GET /device does not claim the row and POST /device/approve and POST /device/deny short-circuit when userId is unset, allowing an authenticated attacker who learns a valid user_code to bind the polling device to the attacker's account or deny the legitimate flow. This issue is fixed in version 1.6.11.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
