Doc Text:
A flaw was found in Apache Shiro, specifically within the shiro-jakarta-ee integration module. A remote attacker with valid login credentials could exploit this vulnerability by forging the shiroSavedRequest cookie. This unvalidated cookie can be manipulated to send an HTTP GET request from the server to an arbitrary external URL, leading to Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF). This allows an attacker to trick the server into making requests to internal or external resources on their behalf, potentially leading to information disclosure or further attacks.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-05-25 21:01:22 UTC
With valid login credentials, URL Redirection to Untrusted Site ('Open Redirect'), Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in Apache Shiro.




This issue affects Apache Shiro from 2.0-alpha to 2.1.0, and 3.0.0-alpha-1, only when using shiro-jakarta-ee integration module.

Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.1.1, or 3.0.0-alpha-2 or later, which fixes the issue by encrypting the cookie.

After successful login, Jakarta EE integration module uses shiroSavedRequest cookie to redirect to a particular web page after login.
This cookie was not validated, and can be forged to send a HTTP GET request from the server itself to an arbitrary URL from the cookie.
