GHSA-cg8c-gc2j-2wf7: Flask-Security vulnerable to Open Redirect
This affects all versions of package Flask-Security. When using the get_post_logout_redirect
and get_post_login_redirect
functions, it is possible to bypass URL validation and redirect a user to an arbitrary URL by providing multiple back slashes such as \\\evil.com/path
. This vulnerability is only exploitable if an alternative WSGI server other than Werkzeug is used, or the default behaviour of Werkzeug is modified using 'autocorrect_location_header=False
.
Note: Flask-Security is not maintained anymore.
