There are two ways which can lead to this:\n\n1. The user was created with authd < 0.5.4 (released June 2025). Those users were created with UID != GID.\n\n2. The primary group of the user was modified manually with the authctl utility that is shipped with authd (`authctl group set-gid`).\n\nAnother condition is that some user information must have changed in the identity provider (else the user record is not updated upon login). If that is the case, the next time an affected user logs in, authd will set their primary group ID to their UID.\n\nThis could lead to local privileges escalation. Also, files and directories created by those users will be owned by that incorrect primary group, which may grant other local users access to those files which they shouldn't have.\n\nUsers who are affected by the issue can run this script to fix the primary group ID of all authd users and the file ownership of files in the home directory created with the incorrect GID:\n\n```bash\nauthd_users=$(getent passwd --service authd | cut -d: -f1)\nfor user in $authd_users; do\n    OLD_GID=$(id -g \"$user\")\n    GID=$(getent group \"$user\" | cut -d: -f3)\n    if [ -z \"$GID\" ]; then\n        echo \"Warning: could not determine GID for $user, skipping\" >&2\n        continue\n    fi\n    if [ \"$OLD_GID\" = \"$GID\" ]; then\n        continue  # user not affected\n    fi\n    USER_HOME=$(getent passwd \"$user\" | cut -d: -f6)\n    echo \"Fixing $user: resetting GID from $OLD_GID to $GID\"\n    sudo authctl group set-gid \"$user\" \"$OLD_GID\"\n    sudo authctl group set-gid \"$user\" \"$GID\"\n    sudo chown -R --from=\":$OLD_GID\" \":$GID\" \"$USER_HOME\"\ndone\n```\n\nAfter applying the fix, affected users must log out and log back in for `id`, `groups`, and new file GID stamping to reflect the corrected primary group. You may also optionally terminate a user's active session with:\n\n```bash\nsudo loginctl terminate-user \"$user\"\n```\n\nIf the users also own files outside their home directory, the ownership of those files might have to be updated as well.\n\nFixed by: https://github.com/canonical/authd/commit/154b428305cb1a7a19c897626fefd09d6dde8b9f","state":0,"publishedAt":"2026-05-05T22:04:07+00:00","modifiedAt":"2026-06-25T19:56:29.7710052+00:00","affected":[{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"github.com/canonical/authd","ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"kind":"introduced","version":"0.6.0"},{"kind":"fixed","version":"0.6.4"}]}],"versions":[],"rawVersionEvidence":null}],"metrics":[{"system":"CVSS_V4","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","score":null,"severity":null},{"system":"Publisher rating","vector":null,"score":null,"severity":"HIGH"}],"references":["https://github.com/canonical/authd/security/advisories/GHSA-fg3j-5w9g-hmg7","https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-6970","https://github.com/canonical/authd/commit/154b428305cb1a7a19c897626fefd09d6dde8b9f","https://github.com/canonical/authd"],"sourceUrl":"https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-fg3j-5w9g-hmg7","license":"GitHub Advisory Database · CC-BY-4.0","key":"osv:GHSA-fg3j-5w9g-hmg7","identifiers":["GHSA-fg3j-5w9g-hmg7","CVE-2026-6970","GO-2026-5361"]},"retained":false,"historicalAffected":[]},{"revision":"497f2ca20bf94a60958648bf097dd050","observedAt":"2026-10-24T13:19:41.952+00:00","statement":{"source":"osv","id":"GO-2026-5361","aliases":["CVE-2026-6970","GHSA-fg3j-5w9g-hmg7"],"title":"authd: Primary group ID is incorrectly set to value of UID in github.com/canonical/authd","description":"authd: Primary group ID is incorrectly set to value of UID in github.com/canonical/authd","state":0,"publishedAt":"2026-06-25T18:43:19+00:00","modifiedAt":"2026-06-25T19:45:34.2515707+00:00","affected":[{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"github.com/canonical/authd","ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"kind":"introduced","version":"0.6.0"},{"kind":"fixed","version":"0.6.4"}]}],"versions":[],"rawVersionEvidence":null}],"metrics":[],"references":["https://github.com/canonical/authd/security/advisories/GHSA-fg3j-5w9g-hmg7","https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-6970","https://github.com/canonical/authd/commit/154b428305cb1a7a19c897626fefd09d6dde8b9f"],"sourceUrl":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GO-2026-5361","license":"OSV · upstream source license applies","key":"osv:GO-2026-5361","identifiers":["GO-2026-5361","CVE-2026-6970","GHSA-fg3j-5w9g-hmg7"]},"retained":false,"historicalAffected":[]}],"coverage":[{"source":"cisa-kev:global","scope":"Complete CISA KEV catalog; all vendors.
