Authenticated open redirect via trusted Referer header
Published May 6, 2025 · Updated May 6, 2025
Open redirect in fp2952 Spring Cloud Base allows remote authenticated users to redirect victims via a crafted Referer header. MvcController.sendBack removes any query string from the unvalidated header and passes the remaining external URL directly to sendRedirect. Exploitation requires access to the endpoint and victim interaction, enabling trusted application URLs to deliver victims to attacker-controlled sites.
