Exploitation Conditions

The victim must interact with a crafted Roxy-WI login URL containing a malicious next parameter value - confirmed by UI:R in the CVSS vector. The next parameter must use the userinfo@host bypass syntax (e.g., next=@evil.example/path), as values containing http:// or https:// are blocked by the existing filter. No authentication is required from the attacker (PR:N); the attacker only needs to deliver the crafted URL to a legitimate user. The vulnerability is not conditional on any non-default configuration - it exists in the core login redirect flow of all Roxy-WI deployments at versions 8.2.6.4 and prior. Exploitation is limited by the requirement that the victim must click the attacker-supplied link and not notice the destination URL mismatch before or after authentication.

Impact

The CVSS 6.1 Medium score reflects a network-accessible (AV:N), low-complexity (AC:L) attack requiring no privileges (PR:N) but needing user interaction (UI:R) with a Changed scope (S:C) and low confidentiality and integrity impact (C:L/I:L/A:N). The Changed scope indicates the impact extends beyond the vulnerable component itself - in this case, the victim's browser session can be hijacked to a foreign origin. Real-world risk is moderate but meaningful: this is a classic post-authentication redirect phishing vector that can harvest Roxy-WI credentials or deliver browser-based payloads against infrastructure administrators, who are high-value targets given the product manages HAProxy, Nginx, and Apache. No EPSS score was provided, no KEV listing exists, and no POC is publicly identified at time of analysis, suggesting exploitation is not yet widespread. However, the absence of a patch (confirmed by the advisory) elevates urgency because no vendor-supplied fix path exists. The low complexity and no-privilege requirement make this trivially embeddable in targeted phishing emails. The UI:R requirement is the primary exploitation limiter and is the key differentiator from a critical-rated flaw.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker targeting a Roxy-WI administrator crafts a phishing email containing a login URL such as https://victim.example/login?next=@evil.example/fake-login. The administrator clicks the link, authenticates against the legitimate Roxy-WI instance, and is silently redirected to evil.example - which serves a credential-harvesting page mimicking Roxy-WI. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, but the attack requires only standard HTTP request crafting and social engineering, making it accessible to low-sophistication actors.

AnalysisAIv1 – Jun 10, 2026

Open redirect in Roxy-WI versions 8.2.6.4 and prior allows unauthenticated remote attackers to silently redirect authenticated users to attacker-controlled domains by exploiting a bypass in the login flow's URL filter. The filter blocks next parameter values containing http:// or https:// substrings but does not account for RFC-3986 userinfo@host syntax; submitting next=@evil.example/path causes the server to construct https://victim.example@evil.example/path, which modern browsers route to evil.example. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, no patch is available, and this vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV.

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patch has been identified at time of analysis - the advisory explicitly states no publicly available patches exist as of publication. Organizations should monitor the GitHub advisory at https://github.com/roxy-wi/roxy-wi/security/advisories/GHSA-xw9x-68gg-mp5h for patch availability. As immediate compensating controls: first, restrict access to the Roxy-WI login endpoint to trusted IP ranges or VPN-only access, which eliminates the network-reachable attack surface at the cost of reduced accessibility for remote administrators. Second, deploy a reverse proxy or WAF rule that rejects next parameter values containing the @ character, blocking the userinfo@host bypass pattern without affecting legitimate redirect values; note this is a defense-in-depth measure and may need tuning if @ appears in legitimate paths. Third, train administrators to scrutinize Roxy-WI login links in emails and messages, as this attack requires social engineering. Upgrading the application when a patched version is released remains the only definitive fix.

Technical ContextAI · show details

Roxy-WI (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:roxy-wi:roxy-wi:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) is a web management interface for infrastructure-layer services including HAProxy, Nginx, Apache, and Keepalived. The vulnerability is rooted in CWE-601 (URL Redirection to Untrusted Site / Open Redirect), a class of flaw where applications trust user-supplied URL fragments without fully validating the target authority. The specific bypass exploits RFC-3986 URI syntax, which allows a userinfo component before the host - i.e., scheme://userinfo@host/path. The application's server-side filter only scans for the literal substrings http:// and https://, which a value like @evil.example/path does not contain. When the server concatenates this value as https://{request.host}{next_url}, it produces a syntactically valid URL where the intended host (victim.example) is silently demoted to the userinfo field and the attacker's domain (evil.example) becomes the actual host authority. The JavaScript client then executes window.location.replace() with the attacker-crafted URL, completing the redirect transparently.

DescriptionNVD

Roxy-WI is a web interface for managing Haproxy, Nginx, Apache and Keepalived servers. In versions 8.2.6.4 and prior, the login flow allow-lists next URLs by rejecting strings containing https:// or http:// substrings, then constructs https://{request.host}{next_url} and the JS client redirects via window.location.replace(). The block does not consider the userinfo@host syntax. next=@evil.example/path produces https://victim.example@evil.example/path, which all modern browsers route to evil.example. At time of publication, there are no publicly available patches.
