DescriptionCVE.org

Impact

Probo's saferedirect package validates redirect URLs used across authentication flows (OIDC, SAML, session transfer, OAuth connectors, and trust-center magic links). The validator only inspected the second character of relative paths, so a URL like /../\evil.com passed validation because the second character is .. Go's http.Redirect normalizes this path to /\evil.com before setting the Location header. Browsers can interpret the backslash as a host separator and redirect the user to an external domain (https://evil.com), bypassing the intended same-origin restriction. This enables open-redirect phishing: an attacker can craft a continue parameter (or embed a malicious URL in a session-transfer token) that appears to originate from a trusted Probo domain but redirects victims elsewhere.

Patches

Fixed in go.probo.inc/probo by normalizing relative paths with path.Clean before validation, rejecting backslashes (including percent-encoded %5c) anywhere in the path, and re-checking the normalized result for protocol-relative and backslash prefixes.

Self-hosted deployments should upgrade to probod v0.194.1 or later.

SaaS deployments on getprobo.com are patched.

Workarounds

No practical workaround for self-hosted installations. Upgrade to the patched release.

AnalysisAI

Open redirect in Probo's saferedirect package allows unauthenticated remote attackers to bypass same-origin URL validation across all authentication flows - OIDC, SAML, session transfer, OAuth connectors, and trust-center magic links. A crafted URL such as /../\evil.com passes the flawed second-character check, and Go's http.Redirect normalizer collapses it to /\evil.com before setting the Location header; browsers then interpret the backslash as a host separator and navigate victims to an attacker-controlled domain. No public exploit is identified at time of analysis and the CVE carries no CISA KEV listing, but the authentication-flow context makes this a credible, high-value phishing vector. Self-hosted deployments must upgrade to probod v0.194.1.

Technical ContextAI

The root cause is CWE-601 (URL Redirection to Untrusted Site) in the saferedirect Go package (CPE: pkg:go/go.probo.inc_probo). The validator applied a single-character positional check on relative paths: it inspected only the second character, so /../\evil.com passed because position[1] is a period. Go's net/http.Redirect internally applies path.Clean-style normalization, collapsing /../\evil.com into /\evil.com before writing the Location response header. At that point validation has already succeeded. Chromium-based browsers and others on Windows treat a backslash following a leading slash as a protocol-relative host separator, rendering the response as a navigation to https://evil.com. The fix - shipping in probod v0.194.1 - applies path.Clean normalization before validation, explicitly rejects literal backslashes and percent-encoded equivalents (%5c anywhere in the path), and re-runs the normalized result through the prefix checks.

RemediationAI

Self-hosted deployments must upgrade to probod v0.194.1 or later, available from the upstream repository at https://github.com/getprobo/probo. The patched release normalizes relative paths with path.Clean before validation, rejects both literal and percent-encoded (%5c) backslashes anywhere in the path, and re-validates the normalized result for protocol-relative and backslash prefixes. The vendor explicitly states there is no practical workaround for self-hosted installations. As a partial, non-reliable compensating control, a reverse proxy or WAF rule that rejects requests where the continue or redirect parameter contains a literal or URL-encoded backslash would reduce but not eliminate exposure (percent-encoding variants may bypass naive string filters). Upgrading remains the only confirmed remediation.
