Technical details

An open redirect vulnerability (CWE-601) exists in the Apache Shiro Jakarta EE integration module. The vulnerability stems from the application using the client-controlled HTTP Referer header to determine the redirection target after a successful user login without adequate validation. An attacker can exploit this by crafting a link that, upon successful authentication, redirects the victim to an arbitrary external domain. This issue affects versions 2.0-alpha through 2.2.0 and 3.0.0-alpha-1. It has been patched in versions 2.2.1 and 3.0.0-alpha-2.

Affected products

Apache Shiro >= 2.0-alpha, < 2.2.1; >= 3.0.0-alpha-0, < 3.0.0-alpha-2
