Which packages are affected by CVE-2024-51987?

CVE-2024-51987 affects the following packages: Duende.AccessTokenManagement.OpenIdConnect (NuGet). Ecosystems affected: NuGet.

How do I fix CVE-2024-51987?

Update Duende.AccessTokenManagement.OpenIdConnect to 3.0.1 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2024-51987 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect CVE-2024-51987 in my NuGet dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for Duende.AccessTokenManagement.OpenIdConnect. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.

How do I mitigate CVE-2024-51987 if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.

How does O3 Security protect against CVE-2024-51987?

O3 pinpoints whether CVE-2024-51987 is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.

Is CVE-2024-51987 actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for CVE-2024-51987 yet. This does not mean the vulnerability cannot be exploited — absence of public exploits does not imply safety. Apply the recommended fix and use O3 Security to monitor your exposure.

What is the EPSS score for CVE-2024-51987?

CVE-2024-51987 has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 0.2%, placing it in the 12th percentile of all CVEs. EPSS is maintained by FIRST.org and estimates the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited in the wild within the next 30 days. This score indicates relatively lower exploitation probability, though the CVSS severity should still guide your patching priority.

What type of vulnerability is CVE-2024-51987?

CVE-2024-51987 is classified as CWE-270 (CWE-270). This weakness type describe the underlying flaw category, which helps determine the potential impact and the right class of mitigation.

When was CVE-2024-51987 published, and has it been updated?

CVE-2024-51987 was published on November 7, 2024 and was last updated on April 10, 2026. Advisory data evolves as severity scores, affected ranges, and exploit intelligence are revised — always check the latest version of the advisory before acting.

Real-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects NuGet packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.

Description

Duende.AccessTokenManagement.OpenIdConnect is a set of .NET libraries that manage OAuth and OpenId Connect access tokens. HTTP Clients created by AddUserAccessTokenHttpClient may use a different user's access token after a token refresh occurs. This occurs because a refreshed token will be captured in pooled HttpClient instances, which may be used by a different user. Instead of using AddUserAccessTokenHttpClient to create an HttpClient that automatically adds a managed token to outgoing requests, you can use the HttpConext.GetUserAccessTokenAsync extension method or the IUserTokenManagementService.GetAccessTokenAsync method. This issue is fixed in Duende.AccessTokenManagement.OpenIdConnect 3.0.1. All users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability.
