Unauthenticated open redirect via unvalidated redirect URI
Published Jun 22, 2026 · Updated Jun 22, 2026
Open redirect in Authlib before 1.6.10 and in 1.7.0 allows remote attackers to redirect users via a crafted authorization request. AuthorizationServer.get_authorization_grant copies the raw redirect_uri into an UnsupportedResponseTypeError before client lookup, and OAuth2Error.call emits it as a 302 Location without validation. A user must visit the crafted authorization URL, after which the trusted endpoint redirects the browser to an attacker-controlled site suitable for phishing or credential theft.
