Upgrade Apache Shiro to version 2.1.1 or later, or 3.0.0-alpha-2 or later, where the shiroSavedRequest cookie is encrypted to prevent forgery. No other mitigation is indicated or required as the fix addresses the root cause.
Description
Apache Shiro versions from 2.0-alpha to 2.1.0 and 3.0.0-alpha-1 using the shiro-jakarta-ee integration module are vulnerable to an open redirect and server-side request forgery (SSRF) when valid login credentials are used. The vulnerability arises because the shiroSavedRequest cookie, used to redirect users after login, is not validated and can be forged to cause the server to send HTTP GET requests to arbitrary URLs. This issue is fixed in versions 2.1.1 and 3.0.0-alpha-2 or later by encrypting the cookie.
