Summary
Better Auth is an authentication and authorization library for TypeScript. From 1.2.10 until 1.6.11, the @better-auth/sso plugin's POST /sso/register endpoint lets any organization member attach a new SSO provider to that organization because registerSSOProvider checks only for a membership row and does not require an owner or admin role, allowing attacker-controlled OIDC or SAML providers to drive /sso/callback/{providerId} organization provisioning. This issue is fixed in version 1.6.11.
