CVE-2025-65954: SimpleSAMLphp-casserver open redirect in logout endpoint

CVE-2025-65954 · Severity: medium · CVSS 4.7 · Published 2026-05-18

A vulnerability in the SimpleSAMLphp CAS server module allows attackers to redirect users to malicious websites. This occurs during the logout process when the system incorrectly trusts a web address provided in the logout request. Attackers can use this to create convincing phishing links that appear to come from a trusted corporate login portal, potentially leading to credential theft or further social engineering attacks.

Vendors: Packagist, Simplesamlphp.

Technical details

An open redirect vulnerability (CWE-601) exists in the LogoutController of the SimpleSAMLphp casserver module. The logout endpoint accepts a 'url' query parameter and fails to validate it against a list of trusted service URLs before performing a redirection. This can be exploited by a remote attacker who crafts a malicious link; when a user clicks the link, they are redirected to an arbitrary external site. The impact is highest when 'enable_logout' and 'skip_logout_page' are both set to true in the module configuration. The issue is fixed in versions 6.3.1 and 7.0.0.

Affected products

  • SimpleSAMLphp simplesamlphp-module-casserver >= 7.0.0-rc1, < 7.0.0-rc3; < 6.3.1
