{"id":"CVE-2024-41801","summary":"OpenProject packaged installation has Open Redirect Vulnerability in Sign-In in default configuration","details":"OpenProject is open source project management software. Prior to version 14.3.0, using a forged HOST header in the default configuration of packaged installations and using the \"Login required\" setting, an attacker could redirect to a remote host to initiate a phishing attack against an OpenProject user's account. This vulnerability affects default packaged installation of OpenProject without any additional configuration or modules on Apache (such as mod_security, manually setting a host name, having a fallthrough VirtualHost). It might also affect other installations that did not take care to fix the HOST/X-Forwarded-Host headers. Version 14.3.0 includes stronger protections for the hostname from within the application using the HostAuthorization middleware of Rails to reject any requests with a host name that does not match the configured one. Also, all generated links by the application are now ensured to use the built-in hostname. Users who aren't able to upgrade immediately may use mod_security for Apache2 or manually fix the Host and X-Forwarded-Host headers in their proxying application before reaching the application server of OpenProject. Alternatively, they can manually apply the patch to opt-in to host header protections in previous versions of OpenProject.","aliases":["GHSA-g92v-vrq6-4fpw"],"modified":"2026-04-10T05:15:53.699852Z","published":"2024-07-25T16:50:16.180Z","database_specific":{"cwe_ids":["CWE-601"],"cna_assigner":"GitHub_M","osv_generated_from":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2024/41xxx/CVE-2024-41801.json"},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/user-attachments/files/16371759/host-protection.patch"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://www.openproject.org/docs/release-notes/14-3-0"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2024/41xxx/CVE-2024-41801.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/opf/openproject/security/advisories/GHSA-g92v-vrq6-4fpw"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2024-41801"}],"affected":[{"ranges":[{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://github.com/opf/openproject","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"d06d1b69602fdcc2a3cfd0ec58ac5b5271c16b20"}]}],"versions":["v14.0.0","v14.0.1","v14.0.2","v14.1.0","v14.1.1","v14.2.0","v14.2.1"],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2024-41801.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.5","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:N/I:L/A:N"}]}
