CVE-2021-23385: URL Redirection to Untrusted Site ('Open Redirect')

October 7, 2022

This affects all versions of package Flask-Security. When using the get_post_logout_redirect and get_post_login_redirect functions, it is possible to bypass URL validation and redirect a user to an arbitrary URL by providing multiple back slashes such as \\evil.com/path. This vulnerability is only exploitable if an alternative WSGI server other than Werkzeug is used, or the default behaviour of Werkzeug is modified using ‘autocorrect_location_header=False. Note: Flask-Security is not maintained anymore.
