CVE-2026-11753: Armeria SAML open redirect in RelayState validation

CVE-2026-11753 · Severity: info · Published 2026-11-04

Armeria is an open-source framework used to build microservices and web applications with SAML single sign-on (SSO) support. A flaw in the default SAML handler allows attackers to craft malicious login links that redirect authenticated users to attacker-controlled websites after they successfully log in, enabling phishing and credential theft while appearing legitimate.

Vendors: LINE.

Quick answers

Is CVE-2026-11753 exploited in the wild?
No. Junglewise Threat Intelligence has no report of CVE-2026-11753 being exploited in the wild.
How severe is CVE-2026-11753?
Informational severity, published 4 November 2026.
Which products and versions are affected?
LINE Armeria SAML before 1.41.1.
Is there a fix for CVE-2026-11753?
Yes: fixed in 1.41.1. Until then: Use a custom SAML SSO handler that validates RelayState by accepting only relative paths starting with a single forward slash, rejecting protocol-relative URLs (//host), absolute URLs (https://host/...), and dangerous schemes (javascript:, data:, etc.). Junglewise finds every place you run it, drafts the upgrade and applies it once you approve.
How is CVE-2026-11753 attacked?
It is attacked over the network, in a software library.
Am I affected by CVE-2026-11753?
Check whether you run LINE Armeria SAML at an affected version. Junglewise does that check for you around the clock: connect your code, cloud and domains, and it matches new vulnerabilities like this one against what you actually run and tells you when one reaches you.

How to fix

  • Fixed in: 1.41.1

Use a custom SAML SSO handler that validates RelayState by accepting only relative paths starting with a single forward slash, rejecting protocol-relative URLs (//host), absolute URLs (https://host/...), and dangerous schemes (javascript:, data:, etc.).

Technical details

The vulnerability exists in Armeria's default SamlSingleSignOnHandler, which reflects the RelayState parameter directly into the HTTP Location header without validation. RelayState is an opaque, attacker-controlled value round-tripped by the identity provider; the handler accepts absolute URLs, protocol-relative URLs, and javascript: schemes, allowing unvalidated redirects after SAML authentication succeeds. This affects only applications using the default handler; custom handlers that validate RelayState are not affected.

Affected products
