Unauthenticated phishing redirects via logout URL
Published Apr 10, 2024 · Updated Apr 28, 2026
Open redirect in the destroy endpoint of WP OAuth Server 4.3.3 and earlier allows remote attackers to send users to attacker-controlled sites. The /oauth/destroy endpoint automatically follows an unvalidated post_logout_redirect_uri value instead of requiring a manual checkpoint. Exploitation requires a user with an active WordPress session to follow a crafted logout link, enabling phishing after the session is destroyed.
