CVE-2026-32235: @backstage/plugin-auth-backend: OAuth redirect URI allowlist bypass

March 12, 2026 (updated March 13, 2026)

The experimental OIDC provider in @backstage/plugin-auth-backend is vulnerable to a redirect URI allowlist bypass. Instances that have enabled experimental Dynamic Client Registration or Client ID Metadata Documents and configured allowedRedirectUriPatterns are affected.

A specially crafted redirect URI can pass the allowlist validation while resolving to an attacker-controlled host. If a victim approves the resulting OAuth consent request, their authorization code is sent to the attacker, who can exchange it for a valid access token.

This requires victim interaction and that one of the experimental features is explicitly enabled, which is not the default.
