CVE-2024-21637

Reported by @lauritzh

XSS in Authentik via JavaScript-URI as Redirect URI and form_post Response Mode

Summary

Given an OAuth2 provider configured with allowed redirect URIs set to * or .*, an attacker can send an OAuth Authorization request using response_mode=form_post and setting redirect_uri to a malicious URI, to capture authentik's session token.

Patches

authentik 2023.8.6 and 2023.10.6 fix this issue.

Impact

The impact depends on the attack scenario. In the following I will describe the two scenario that were identified for Authentik.

Redirect URI Misconfiguration

While advising that this may cause security issues, Authentik generally allows wildcards as Redirect URI. Therefore, using a wildcard-only effectively allowing arbitrary URLS is possible misconfiguration that may be present in real-world instances.

In such cases, unauthenticated and unprivileged attackers can perform the above described actions.

User with (only) App Administration Permissions

A more likely scenario is an administrative user (e.g. a normal developer) having only permissions to manage applications.

This relatively user could use the described attacks to perform a privilege escalation.

Workaround

It is recommended to upgrade to the patched version of authentik. If not possible, ensure that OAuth2 providers do not use a wildcard (* or .*) value as allowed redirect URI setting. (This is not exploitable if part of the redirect URI has a wildcard, for example https://foo-.*\.bar\.com)
