Advisories for Npm/Oauth2-Server package

2022

URL Redirection to Untrusted Site ('Open Redirect')

In oauth2-server (aka node-oauth2-server) through 3.1.1, the value of the redirect_uri parameter received during the authorization and token request is checked against an incorrect URI pattern ("[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9+.-]+:") before making a redirection. This allows a malicious client to pass an XSS payload through the redirect_uri parameter while making an authorization request. NOTE: this vulnerability is similar to CVE-2020-7741.

Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection')

** DISPUTED ** oauth2-server (aka node-oauth2-server) implements OAuth without PKCE. It does not prevent authorization code injection. This is similar to CVE-2020-7692. NOTE: the vendor states 'As RFC7636 is an extension, I think the claim in the Readme of "RFC compliant" is valid and not misleading and I also therefore wouldn't describe this as a "vulnerability" with the library per se.'
