Technical details

An Open Redirect vulnerability (CWE-601) exists in the default configuration of the cas-auth plugin in Apache APISIX. The flaw stems from the use of unsanitized cookie values during the authentication flow, allowing a remote attacker to craft a URL that redirects a victim to an arbitrary external domain. While the redirect itself does not grant direct access to the gateway, it is a primary vector for phishing attacks and credential harvesting. The issue is present in versions 3.0.0 through 3.16.0 and is resolved in version 3.17.0.
