Description

Impact

SDK versions between and including 5.16.0 and 5.19.0 allowed Sentry auth tokens to be set in the optional authToken configuration parameter, for debugging purposes. Doing so would result in the auth token being built into the application bundle, and therefore the auth token could be potentially exposed in case the application bundle is subsequently published.

You may ignore this notification if you are not using authToken configuration parameter in your React Native SDK configuration or did not publish apps using this way of configuring the authToken.

If you had set the authToken in the plugin config previously, and built and published an app with that config, you should rotate your token.

Patches

The behavior that allowed setting an authToken parameter was fixed in SDK version 5.19.1 where, if this parameter was set, you will see a warning and the authToken would be removed before bundling the application.

Workarounds

  1. Remove authToken from the plugin configuration.
  2. If you had set the authToken in the plugin config previously, and built and published an app with that config, you should rotate your token.

Detection & mitigation playbook

Open-source dependency
  1. Detect

    Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for @sentry/react-native, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.

  2. Fix

    Update @sentry/react-native to 5.19.1 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-68c2-4mpx-qh95 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

  3. Workarounds

    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.
