Lifecycle Timeline
4DescriptionGitHub Advisory
Masa CMS is affected by an Open Redirect vulnerability due to improper handling of scheme-relative URLs. The application incorrectly interprets paths beginning with double slashes (//) as internal paths, failing to validate the redirect target before processing. The application treats these values as internal paths and processes them without confirming that the redirect target remains on the local site.
An attacker can craft a URL on the trusted Masa CMS domain that redirects a victim to an external attacker-controlled site. This can be used for phishing and, in some authentication flows, may expose tokens or other sensitive data to the external site. This issue has been fixed in versions 7.2.10, 7.3.15, 7.4.10, and 7.5.3. As a workaround, reject or rewrite redirect parameters that begin with // and consider disabling forceDirectoryStructure if compatible with the deployment.
AnalysisAI
Open redirect vulnerability in Masa CMS allows unauthenticated remote attackers to craft malicious URLs on trusted Masa CMS domains that redirect victims to attacker-controlled sites via improper validation of scheme-relative URLs (paths beginning with //). This can be exploited for phishing attacks and potential token exposure in certain authentication flows. The vulnerability affects versions prior to 7.2.10, 7.3.15, 7.4.10, and 7.5.3, with CVSS 5.3 (CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:P).
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability stems from CWE-601 (URL Redirection to Untrusted Site) caused by improper input validation of redirect parameters. Masa CMS mishandles scheme-relative URLs (RFC 3986 URLs beginning with //) by treating them as internal paths without confirming the redirect target remains on the local domain. Scheme-relative URLs inherit the scheme from the current page, allowing attackers to redirect users to external domains while appearing to originate from the trusted Masa CMS domain. The application also exposes additional risk via the forceDirectoryStructure configuration setting, which may amplify this vulnerability in certain deployments.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: update to Masa CMS 7.2.10, 7.3.15, 7.4.10, or 7.5.3 (choose the version matching your current release line). Patch the redirect URL validation logic to reject or rewrite parameters beginning with // before processing redirects. As an immediate workaround, implement a WAF rule or application-level filter to reject HTTP requests containing redirect parameters starting with // and consider disabling the forceDirectoryStructure configuration option if compatible with your deployment (note: disabling may affect URL structure functionality). Additionally, validate all redirect targets against a whitelist of allowed domains before performing the redirect, and ensure redirect parameters are properly canonicalized to prevent encoding bypasses.
