Impact
The outdated version 1 of the Steam Socialite Provider doesn't check properly if the login comes from steamcommunity.com, allowing a malicious actor to substitute their own openID server.
Patches
This vulnerability only affects the outdated v1.x versions of the package. These are no longer maintained, users should upgrade to v3 or v4, which use a hardcoded endpoint to verify the login.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for socialiteproviders/steam, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update socialiteproviders/steam to 3.0 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-hhw9-35p2-q2c5 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
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.
