OAuth token theft via port-based scheme confusion
Published Apr 16, 2026 · Updated Apr 16, 2026
Authentication bypass in Cryptomator 1.19.1 allows remote authenticated users to steal OAuth bearer tokens through a plaintext Hub exchange. CheckHostTrustController.getAuthority() substitutes schemes from port numbers, making HTTPS port 80 and HTTP authorities equal and bypassing consistency and HTTP-block checks. Exploitation requires write access to a cloud-synced vault.cryptomator file, victim interaction to unlock a Hub vault, and a position on the victim's network; the stolen token grants victim-level Hub API access but not vault data access.
