@auth0/nextjs-auth0npmDescription
Overview
Auth0 NextJS v4.0.1 to v4.5.0 does not invoke .setExpirationTime when generating a JWE token for the session. As a result, the JWE does not contain an internal expiration claim. While the session cookie may expire or be cleared, the JWE remains valid.
Am I Affected?
You are affected if you are using Auth0 NextJS SDK v4.
Fix
Upgrade to v4.5.1.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for @auth0/nextjs-auth0, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update @auth0/nextjs-auth0 to 4.5.1 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-pjr6-jx7r-j4r6 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.
How O3 protects you
O3 Security's impact-aware SCA analyses which vulnerable code paths your application actually calls, so a match like GHSA-pjr6-jx7r-j4r6 can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.
Tailored to GHSA-pjr6-jx7r-j4r6. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is GHSA-pjr6-jx7r-j4r6 in your dependencies?
O3 Security finds GHSA-pjr6-jx7r-j4r6 across npm dependencies, including transitive ones, and its impact-aware SCA ranks findings by whether your code actually calls the vulnerable path.
