CVE-2026-49820

Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.

Description

Probo is a self-hostable governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) platform built for engineering and security teams. Probo's `saferedirect` package validates redirect URLs used across authentication flows (OIDC, SAML, session transfer, OAuth connectors, and trust-center magic links). Prior to version 0.19.3.1, the validator only inspected the second character of relative paths, so a URL like `/../\evil.com` passed validation because the second character is `.`. Go's `http.Redirect` normalizes this path to `/\evil.com` before setting the `Location` header. Browsers can interpret the backslash as a host separator and redirect the user to an external domain (`https://evil.com`), bypassing the intended same-origin restriction. This enables open-redirect phishing: an attacker can craft a `continue` parameter (or embed a malicious URL in a session-transfer token) that appears to originate from a trusted Probo domain but redirects victims elsewhere. This is fixed in `go.probo.inc/probo` 0.193.1 by normalizing relative paths with `path.Clean` before validation, rejecting backslashes (including percent-encoded `%5c`) anywhere in the path, and re-checking the normalized result for protocol-relative and backslash prefixes. Self-hosted deployments should upgrade to probod v0.194.1 or later. SaaS deployments on getprobo.com are patched. No practical workaround is available for self-hosted installations.

      "value": "Probo es una plataforma de gobernanza, riesgo y cumplimiento (GRC) autoalojable, diseñada para equipos de ingeniería y seguridad. El paquete “saferedirect” de Probo valida las URLs de redirección utilizadas en los flujos de autenticación (OIDC, SAML, transferencia de sesión, conectores OAuth y enlaces mágicos de centros de confianza). Antes de la versión 0.19.3.1, el validador solo inspeccionaba el segundo carácter de las rutas relativas, por lo que una URL como “/.. / \\evil.com” pasaba la validación porque el segundo carácter es “.”. “http.Redirect” de Go normaliza esta ruta a “/\\evil.com” antes de establecer el encabezado “Location”. Los navegadores pueden interpretar la barra invertida como un separador de host y redirigir al usuario a un dominio externo (“https://evil.com”), eludiendo la restricción de mismo origen prevista. Esto permite el phishing de redirección abierta: un atacante puede crear un parámetro “continue” (o incrustar una URL maliciosa en un token de transferencia de sesión) que parece originarse de un dominio de Probo de confianza pero redirige a las víctimas a otro lugar. Esto se corrige en “go.probo.inc/probo” 0.193.1 normalizando las rutas relativas con “path.Clean” antes de la validación, rechazando las barras invertidas (incluyendo “%5c” codificado en porcentaje) en cualquier parte de la ruta, y volviendo a verificar el resultado normalizado en busca de prefijos relativos al protocolo y de barra invertida. Las implementaciones autoalojadas deben actualizar a probod v0.194.1 o posterior. Las implementaciones SaaS en getprobo.com están parcheadas. No hay una solución alternativa práctica disponible para las instalaciones autoalojadas."
