Description
When OAuth authentication is enabled and browser-facing TLS terminates at a reverse proxy that forwards the callback to Temporal UI Server over HTTP, affected versions derive authentication-cookie Secure attributes from the proxy-to-server connection. Temporal UI Server can therefore issue access-token cookies, and refresh-token cookies when provided by the identity provider, without Secure even though the browser completed login over HTTPS.



A victim who visits attacker-controlled content while a credential remains live may expose that credential only if the attacker can also steer traffic for the UI hostname, prevent the browser's HTTPS connection from succeeding, serve the hostname over HTTP, and read a later same-site plaintext request. A malicious website alone cannot read the cookie, and passive observation of a successful TLS connection is insufficient. Effective HSTS, a blocking HTTPS-only warning, or TLS re-encryption between the proxy and Temporal UI Server prevents the demonstrated disclosure path.



A recovered credential may be replayed within the victim's assigned permissions. Refresh-token replay additionally depends on the identity provider's issuance, expiry, rotation, and reuse-detection behavior.

Impact

When OAuth authentication is enabled on Temporal UI Server and a TLS‑terminating reverse proxy forwards the callback to the server over HTTP, affected versions derive the Secure attribute of authentication cookies from the proxy‑to‑server connection rather than the browser‑facing HTTPS connection. Consequently, access‑token and refresh‑token cookies can be set without the Secure flag, making them transmittable over unencrypted HTTP and susceptible to capture if an attacker can serve the UI hostname over HTTP.

Affected Systems

Temporal Technologies, Inc. – Temporal UI Server versions prior to 2.53.2 are affected. The fix is included in v2.53.2 and later. Specific vulnerability applies to the authentication handler code responsible for cookie attribute determination.

Risk and Exploitability

Based on the description, it is inferred that attackers would need to control traffic to the UI hostname, prevent the browser’s HTTPS connection from succeeding, serve the hostname over HTTP, and be able to read a later same‑site plaintext request to capture the cookie. The CVSS score of 2.3 indicates a low overall risk, and the EPSS score of less than 1% shows a very low likelihood of exploitation. Attackers would also need to replay recovered credentials within the victim’s permissions, with replay of refresh tokens additionally depending on the identity provider’s issuance, expiry, rotation, and reuse‑detection behavior. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Mitigating controls such as enforcing HSTS, blocking plaintext HTTP, or ensuring TLS encryption between the reverse proxy and Temporal UI Server remove the disclosure path even though they do not correct the configuration‑dependent cookie attribute.

Remediation

Vendor Solution

Upgrade to Temporal UI Server v2.53.2 or later. The fix derives the authentication-cookie Secure attribute from the configured browser-facing OAuth callback URL instead of the proxy-to-server connection and applies that decision consistently to all authentication cookies.


Vendor Workaround

Configure TLS between the reverse proxy and Temporal UI Server, enforce HSTS for the public UI hostname, and block plaintext HTTP. These controls prevent the demonstrated disclosure path but do not correct the configuration-dependent cookie attribute.


OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Temporal UI Server to version 2.53.2 or later.
  • Configure TLS between the reverse proxy and Temporal UI Server to secure internal traffic.
  • Enable HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) on the UI hostname and block all HTTP traffic.
