MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Initial Access The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation targets the 'state' argument of the /v5.0/social endpoint (social-login/OAuth callback handling) in Optimal IdM OptimalCloud 5.0; the attacker supplies an attacker-controlled destination in that parameter. The key limiting factor is required user interaction (UI:P in the CVSS vector): a victim must actually open the attacker-crafted link, so there is no server-side compromise and no impact without a human clicking through. No authentication is required to craft the link (PR:N), but impact is confined to redirection (integrity-low), with no confidentiality or availability effect. |
| Impact | This is a low-severity, low-priority issue despite being remotely reachable. The vendor-supplied CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:P/VC:N/VI:L/VA:N) scores only 2.1 and correctly reflects an open redirect (CWE-601): network-reachable and unauthenticated, but requiring user interaction (UI:P - the victim must follow a crafted link) and yielding only low integrity impact with no confidentiality or availability impact. The CVSS threat metric E:P (Proof-of-Concept) suggests a PoC-level exploit maturity, but no separate POC flag, exploit URL, or KEV listing is present in the input, so active exploitation is not confirmed. No EPSS score was provided. These signals are internally consistent: a classic open redirect used primarily to lend legitimacy to phishing, not a direct system-compromise vector. The only sourcing is VulDB (a single aggregator); the vendor was contacted but did not respond, so affected-version and fix data are unconfirmed. Net: real but minor - appropriate to patch during routine maintenance rather than emergency response. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker crafts a URL to /v5.0/social with a manipulated 'state' parameter pointing to an attacker-controlled domain, then delivers it via phishing email or malicious link. A victim who trusts the OptimalCloud domain clicks the link, authenticates or interacts, and is silently redirected to the attacker's site for credential harvesting or malware delivery. CVSS threat maturity E:P indicates proof-of-concept-level knowledge exists, but no confirmed public exploit code is referenced. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 20, 2026
Open redirect in Optimal IdM OptimalCloud 5.0 lets unauthenticated remote attackers craft a /v5.0/social link with an attacker-controlled state parameter, causing a victim who clicks it to be redirected to an arbitrary external site after social-login/OAuth callback handling. Exploitation requires user interaction and yields only integrity-low impact, with no confidentiality or availability effect. Publicly available exploit code exists per the CVSS v4 E:P proof-of-concept metric, but no CISA KEV entry confirms active exploitation and no EPSS score was provided.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis; the vendor was contacted early but did not respond, and the references are VulDB records rather than a vendor advisory. Until a fix is available, restrict the state parameter to a strict allowlist of same-origin or explicitly trusted redirect destinations and reject absolute external URLs in /v5.0/social; this may break legitimate third-party social-login return flows, so test integrations first. If social login is not required, disable the /v5.0/social endpoint or block external redirects at the reverse proxy/WAF; this removes the attack surface but disables social-login functionality. Monitor VulDB (https://vuldb.com/vuln/422657) for updates.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The flaw is an open redirect (CWE-601) in the social-login/OAuth callback path /v5.0/social. The state argument is intended to preserve request state and a post-authentication destination; when the application accepts an arbitrary URL in that parameter without validating it against an allowlist, an attacker can influence where the browser is sent after the callback. The CVSS v4 vector AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:P/VC:N/VI:L/VA:N/E:P shows network reachability, no privileges, required victim interaction, and low integrity impact only. The CPE cpe:2.3:a:optimal_idm:optimalcloud:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* identifies OptimalCloud, and the description specifically names version 5.0 and the /v5.0/social file.
