Vulnerability from github – Published: 2022-03-31 22:44 – Updated: 2022-03-31 22:44

Summary

URL Redirection to Untrusted Site ('Open Redirect') in express-openid-connect

Details

Impact

Users of the requiresAuth middleware, either directly or through the default authRequired option, are vulnerable to an Open Redirect when the middleware is applied to a catch all route.

If all routes under example.com are protected with the requiresAuth middleware, a visit to http://example.com//google.com will be redirected to google.com after login because the original url reported by the Express framework is not properly sanitised.

Am I affected?

You are affected by this vulnerability if you are using the requiresAuth middleware on a catch all route or the default authRequired option and express-openid-connect version <=2.7.1.

How to fix that?

Upgrade to version >=2.7.2

Will this update impact my users?

The fix provided in the patch will not affect your users.

Severity

7.5 (High)

Title

Open Redirect in express-openid-connect

Summary

Express OpenID Connect is an Express JS middleware implementing sign on for Express web apps using OpenID Connect. Users of the `requiresAuth` middleware, either directly or through the default `authRequired` option, are vulnerable to an Open Redirect when the middleware is applied to a catch all route. If all routes under `example.com` are protected with the `requiresAuth` middleware, a visit to `http://example.com//google.com` will be redirected to `google.com` after login because the original url reported by the Express framework is not properly sanitized. This vulnerability affects versions prior to 2.7.2. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds.
