Description Jeremy Choi 2026-07-03 02:02:25 UTC
Disclaimer: Community trackers are created by Red Hat Product Security team on a best effort basis. Package maintainers are required to ascertain if the flaw indeed affects their package, before starting the update process.

liboauth2 is vulnerable to Server-Side Request Forgery in oauth2_jose_jwks_aws_alb_resolve() function. The AWS ALB verifier reads both signer and kid from the unverified JWT
header. If signer matches the configured ARN, kid is appended to
alb_base_url without URL encoding or path sanitization, and the HTTP GET
is issued before signature verification. This allows an attacker to force
the server to send a GET request to an attacker-chosen internal path.

This issue was fixed in version 2.3.0
