CVE reference: CVE-2025-30189
CVSS: 7.4 (CVSS3.1:AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N)

Vulnerability Details:
Using auth caching with oauth2 passdb, passwd passdb or userdb, or passwd 
userdb, causes the first lookup to be cached for all the lookups. This is 
because the cache key is "%u" which no longer actually expands to same as 
"%{user}".

Workaround:
Disabling auth cache will prevent the issue.
