Description

Impact

An Open Redirect vulnerability existed in the OAuth callback handler. The application trusted the X-Forwarded-Host header without validation when constructing the redirect URL after successful OAuth authentication.

An attacker could craft a malicious authentication link that, after the user successfully authenticates with their OAuth provider, redirects them to an attacker-controlled external site. This could be used for:

  • Phishing attacks (redirecting to a fake login page to steal credentials)
  • Malware distribution
  • Token theft if combined with other vulnerabilities

Severity: Medium - Attackers could redirect authenticated users to malicious external sites.

Patches

This vulnerability has been patched in PR #3065.

The fix removes the special handling for X-Forwarded-Host and always uses the origin extracted from the request URL, which represents the actual domain the user visited.

Users of the hosted Onlook service are automatically protected once deployed. Self-hosted users should pull the latest changes from the main branch.

Workarounds

There are no workarounds. Users must upgrade to a patched version.

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.

Weaknesses

URL Redirection to Untrusted Site ('Open Redirect')

The web application accepts a user-controlled input that specifies a link to an external site, and uses that link in a redirect. Learn more on MITRE.
