{"id":"GHSA-fr3w-2p22-6w7p","summary":"URL Redirection to Untrusted Site in OAuth2/OpenID in directus","details":"### Summary\nThe authentication API has a `redirect` parameter that can be exploited as an open redirect vulnerability as the user tries to log in via the API URL https://docs.directus.io/reference/authentication.html#login-using-sso-providers /auth/login/google?redirect for example.\n\n### Details\nThere's a redirect that is done after successful login via the Auth API GET request to `directus/auth/login/google?redirect=http://malicious-fishing-site.com`, which I think is here: https://github.com/directus/directus/blob/main/api/src/auth/drivers/oauth2.ts#L394. While credentials don't seem to be passed to the attacker site, the user can be phished into clicking a legitimate directus site and be taken to a malicious site made to look like a an error message \"Your password needs to be updated\" to phish out the current password.\n\n### PoC\nTurn on any auth provider in Directus instance. Form a link to `directus-instance/auth/login/:provider_id?redirect=http://malicious-fishing-site.com`, login and get taken to malicious-site. Tested on the `ory` OAuth2 integration.\n\n### Impact\nUsers who login via OAuth2 into Directus.","aliases":["CVE-2024-28239"],"modified":"2026-09-10T03:50:10.481071098Z","published":"2024-03-12T20:50:48Z","database_specific":{"cwe_ids":["CWE-601"],"severity":"MODERATE","github_reviewed":true,"github_reviewed_at":"2024-03-12T20:50:48Z","nvd_published_at":"2024-03-12T21:15:59Z"},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/directus/directus/security/advisories/GHSA-fr3w-2p22-6w7p"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2024-28239"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/directus/directus/commit/5477d7d61babd7ffc2f835d399bf79611b15b203"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://docs.directus.io/reference/authentication.html#login-using-sso-providers"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/directus/directus"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"directus","ecosystem":"npm","purl":"pkg:npm/directus"},"ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"10.10.0"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2024/03/GHSA-fr3w-2p22-6w7p/GHSA-fr3w-2p22-6w7p.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N"}]}
