CVE-2026-22032 (GCVE-0-2026-22032)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2026-01-08 14:32 – Updated: 2026-01-15 14:53

Title

Directus has open redirect in SAML

Summary

Directus is a real-time API and App dashboard for managing SQL database content. Prior to version 11.14.0, an open redirect vulnerability exists in the Directus SAML authentication callback endpoint. During SAML authentication, the `RelayState` parameter is intended to preserve the user's original destination. However, while the login initiation flow validates redirect targets against allowed domains, this validation is not applied to the callback endpoint. This allows an attacker to craft a malicious authentication request that redirects users to an arbitrary external URL upon completion. The vulnerability is present in both the success and error handling paths of the callback. This vulnerability can be exploited without authentication. Version 11.14.0 contains a patch.

Sin embargo, mientras que el flujo de inicio de sesi\u00f3n valida los objetivos de redirecci\u00f3n contra dominios permitidos, esta validaci\u00f3n no se aplica al endpoint de callback.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-01-06 19:22 – Updated: 2026-01-08 21:19

Summary

Directus has open redirect in SAML

Details

Security Advisory: Open Redirect in Directus SAML Authentication

Summary

An open redirect vulnerability exists in the Directus SAML authentication callback endpoint. The RelayState parameter is used in redirects without proper validation against an allowlist of permitted domains.

Vulnerability Description

During SAML authentication, the RelayState parameter is intended to preserve the user's original destination. However, while the login initiation flow validates redirect targets against allowed domains, this validation is not applied to the callback endpoint. This allows an attacker to craft a malicious authentication request that redirects users to an arbitrary external URL upon completion.

The vulnerability is present in both the success and error handling paths of the callback.

Impact

Phishing: Users can be redirected to attacker-controlled sites that mimic legitimate login pages
Credential theft: Chained attacks may leverage the redirect to capture OAuth tokens or authorization codes
Trust erosion: Users may lose confidence in the application's security posture

This vulnerability can be exploited without authentication.

Severity

4.3 (Medium)
