Passportjs Google OAuth does not return profile object

Question

I am working on a MERN stack appliaction and I wanna integrate google authencation using PassportJs, I already configured the server-side and ran a couple of test which were successful but all of a sudden it no longers returns the usual profile object which contains the user's name, first_name, _json e.t.c, instead it sends back this object;

This my passport setup:

const strategy = new GoogleStrategy(
  {
    clientID: process.env.GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID,
    clientSecret: process.env.GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET,
    callbackURL: "/auth/google/callback",
  },
  function (accessToken, refreshToken, profile, cb, done) {
    console.log(profile);

    const { email, given_name, family_name, email_verified, gender } = profile._json;

    User.findOne({ email }).exec((err, user) => {
      if (user) {
        const token = jwt.sign({ _id: user._id }, process.env.JWT_SECRET, {
          expiresIn: "7d",
        });
        const { password, ...others } = user._doc;

        return cb(err, others, token);
      } else {
        let password = email + process.env.JWT_SECRET;
        user = new User({
          firstname: given_name,
          lastname: family_name,
          email,
          password: CryptoJS.AES.encrypt(
            password,
            process.env.PASS_SEC
          ).toString(),
          gender: "male",
        });

        console.log(user);

        user.save((err, data) => {
          console.log(data);
          if (err) {
            console.log("Save error", errorHandler(err));
            return done(null, false, { message: errorHandler(err) });
          } else {
            const token = jwt.sign({ _id: data._id }, process.env.JWT_SECRET, {
              expiresIn: "7d",
            });

            const { password, ...others } = data._doc;
            console.log(others);
            return cb(err, token, others);
          }
        });
      }
    });
  }
);

passport.use(strategy);

passport.serializeUser((user, done) => {
  done(null, user);
});

passport.deserializeUser((user, done) => {
  done(null, user);
});

And this is my routes :

router.get(
  "/google",
  passport.authenticate("google", {
    scope: ["profile", "email"],
  })
);

router.get(
  "/google/callback",
  passport.authenticate("google", {
    successRedirect: "/login/success",
    failureRedirect: "/login/failed",
  })
);

I thought maybe it had something to do with the accessToken so I tried using the "passport-oauth2-refresh" dependency to refresh and get a new accessToken;

const refresh = require("passport-oauth2-refresh");
refresh.use(strategy);

But that didnt work, I have tried searching stack-overflow for similar issues but found none. The strange thing was that it was working before, cant seem to figure out what went wrong.

I also wanna ask, after successful authentication I want to be able to send the user to my frontend and store it in localStorage but I found out that Google or Oauth don't support CORS. So I cannot make axios request nor catch server response, so what would be the optimal way to handle the authentication on the frontend?

My frontend google login code:

const google = () => {
    window.open(`${process.env.REACT_APP_API_URL}/auth/google`, "_self");
}
