Authenticated-user redirection via unvalidated SAML RelayState
Published Mar 5, 2026 · Updated Mar 5, 2026
Open redirect in django-allauth before 65.14.1 allows remote attackers to send authenticated users to external sites through SAML SSO. The IdP-initiated SSO handler accepts any URL supplied in the SAML RelayState parameter and uses it directly as the post-authentication redirect destination. The path is reachable only when IdP-initiated SSO is enabled, which is disabled by default, and exploitation requires an authenticated user to follow the crafted flow.
