CVE-2026-49820
Published:July 01, 2026
Updated:July 01, 2026
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.
