## Technical details

An open redirect vulnerability (CWE-601) exists in Rocket.Chat's SAML Single Logout (SLO) implementation. The 'processSLORedirectAction' function failed to validate the 'redirect' query parameter, allowing unauthenticated remote attackers to craft URLs that redirect users to arbitrary external domains. The vulnerability is specifically located at the '/_saml/sloRedirect/' endpoint. Attackers can exploit this by appending a malicious URL to the redirect parameter. The fix, introduced in version 8.4.0, implements strict origin and pathname matching against the configured Identity Provider (IdP) SLO service endpoint to ensure redirects only occur to authorized destinations.
