CVE-2026-54072: CWE-601: URL Redirection to Untrusted Site ('Open Redirect') in authorizerdev authorizer
Authorizer is an open-source, self-hostable authentication and authorization server. Prior to version 2.2.1, the `/authorize` endpoint accepts any `redirect_uri` without validating it against `AllowedOrigins`. When `response_type=token` or `response_type=id_token`, the server appends `access_token`, `id_token`, and `refresh_token` as query parameters and issues a 302 redirect to the attacker-supplied URL. An unauthenticated attacker can obtain the required `client_id` from the public `/graphql?query={meta{client_id}}` endpoint. A partial fix was applied in v2.0.1 to other handlers (`oauth_login`, `verify_email`, `magic_link_login`, `forgot_password`, `invite_members`, `oauth_callback`) but `/authorize` was not included. Version 2.2.1 contains a more complete fix.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-54072 describes an unvalidated redirect_uri vulnerability in the /authorize endpoint of github.com/authorizerdev/authorizer. The endpoint accepts any redirect_uri without checking it against the configured AllowedOrigins. When response_type=token or id_token, the server appends access_token, id_token, and refresh_token as query parameters and issues a 302 redirect to the attacker-supplied URL. An unauthenticated attacker can obtain the client_id from the public /graphql?query={meta{client_id}} endpoint. This flaw allows an attacker to steal OAuth2 tokens by tricking a logged-in user into clicking a crafted link, enabling impersonation of the victim. A partial fix was applied in version 2.0.1 to other OAuth handlers but not to /authorize. The proposed fix is to add an IsValidOrigin check for redirect_uri in /authorize, rejecting unauthorized redirect URIs with an error response.
Potential Impact
An attacker can steal access_token, id_token, and refresh_token by tricking a logged-in user into clicking a maliciously crafted link with an attacker-controlled redirect_uri. The attacker can then impersonate the victim for the full token lifetime without further user interaction. This leads to a complete compromise of the victim's OAuth2 session and associated privileges.
Mitigation Recommendations
A patch is available that adds validation of the redirect_uri parameter against the configured AllowedOrigins in the /authorize endpoint. This validation rejects unauthorized redirect URIs with an error response, preventing token leakage. Users should upgrade to a version including this fix or apply the proposed code change to ensure redirect_uri validation is enforced in /authorize as it is in other OAuth handlers.
