Package

composer simplesamlphp/simplesamlphp-module-casserver (Composer)

Affected versions

<v7.0.0-rc3
<v6.3.1

Patched versions

v7.0.0
v6.3.1

Description

Summary

The logout endpoint accepts a url query parameter to redirect to. casserver treats that url as trusted, and either (depending on configuration) redirects the browser there, or shows a "you've been logged out" page with a link to continue to that url.

There are a number of other things broken with logout in 7 (cas v3 uses a different query parameters, etc)

Details

Previous module checked the url against the valid service urls.

PoC

The docker instructions from the README.md run an image with a vulnerable config.

Accessing https://localhost/cas/logout?url=https://google.com will redirect to Google

Impact

Impacted configs have

'enable_logout' => true,

and are most impacted if they also have

'skip_logout_page' -> true,

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.
