Description
Statamic is a Laravel and Git powered content management system (CMS). Prior to 5.74.1 and 6.24.0, when OAuth login was enabled with a provider that does not guarantee verified email addresses, an unauthenticated attacker could sign in as an existing user, potentially including a super admin, without knowing that user's password, because the application matched OAuth identities to accounts by email address alone. Exploitation requires OAuth to be explicitly enabled with such a provider. This issue is fixed in versions 5.74.1 and 6.24.0.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for statamic/cms, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update statamic/cms to 5.74.1 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-93qh-5269-9wcf is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
Put an independent control in front of the weakness: restrict the affected endpoint or interface to trusted networks, require an additional authentication factor or proxy-level check, and invalidate existing sessions and credentials in case the flaw has already been used.
