CVE-2019-11269

Medium
5.4/10

Summary

Spring Security OAuth before 2.0.17, 2.1.x before 2.1.4, 2.2.x before 2.2.4, 2.3.x before 2.3.5, could be susceptible to an open redirector attack that can leak an authorization code. A malicious user or attacker can craft a request to the authorization endpoint using the authorization code grant type, and specify a manipulated redirection URI via the redirect_uri parameter. This can cause the authorization server to redirect the resource owner user-agent to a URI under the control of the attacker with the leaked authorization code.
