Description
Authorizer is an open-source, self-hostable authentication and authorization server. Prior to version 2.2.1, the `/authorize` endpoint accepts any `redirect_uri` without validating it against `AllowedOrigins`. When `response_type=token` or `response_type=id_token`, the server appends `access_token`, `id_token`, and `refresh_token` as query parameters and issues a 302 redirect to the attacker-supplied URL. An unauthenticated attacker can obtain the required `client_id` from the public `/graphql?query={meta{client_id}}` endpoint. A partial fix was applied in v2.0.1 to other handlers (`oauth_login`, `verify_email`, `magic_link_login`, `forgot_password`, `invite_members`, `oauth_callback`) but `/authorize` was not included. Version 2.2.1 contains a more complete fix.

Impact

Authorizer is an open‑source, self‑hostable authentication and authorization server. Prior to version 2.2.1, the /authorize endpoint accepts any redirect_uri without validating it against AllowedOrigins. When response_type=token or response_type=id_token, the server appends access_token, id_token, and refresh_token as query parameters and issues a 302 redirect to the attacker‑supplied URL. An unauthenticated attacker can obtain the required client_id from the public /graphql?query={meta{client_id}} endpoint. A partial fix was applied in v2.0.1 to other handlers (oauth_login, verify_email, magic_link_login, forgot_password, invite_members, oauth_callback) but /authorize was not included. Version 2.2.1 contains a more complete fix.

Affected Systems

The flaw affects authorizerdev:authorizer versions before 2.2.1. A partial mitigation was introduced in 2.0.1 for several can also /graphql endpoint.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 9.3 categorises this issue as critical, and the exploit is straightforward: any remote user can supply a crafted redirect_uri and receive valid tokens. The EPSS score is < 1%, indicating a low but non‑zero probability of exploitation; however, the high severity and lack of a widespread patch still point to a significant risk. The vulnerability is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog, but the potential for token hijacking and privilege escalation warrants immediate action.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade to authorizer version 2.2.1 or newer to apply the complete redirect_uri validation fix.
  • Configure the AllowedOrigins setting to restrict redirect_uri to trusted domains only.
  • Disable or secure the public /graphql endpoint that reveals the client_id, or enforce authentication on that resource.
  • Apply any upstream patches or security advisories released for your installation.
