Description
Description
Under OIDC authentication mode, there is a redirect_url parameter exposed in the URL which is used to redirect the current user to the defined location after the successful OIDC login, This redirect_url can be an ambiguous URL and can be used to embed a phishing URL. For example: if a user clicks the URL with a malicious redirect_url:
https://<harbor_hostnmae>/c/oidc/login?redirect_url=https://<redirect_domain>
It might redirect the current user without their knowledge to a malicious site, posing a potential risk. To avoid this issue, the redirect_url should be checked if it is a local path when reading it from the original request URL.
//src/core/controllers/oidc.go
...
redirectURL := oc.Ctx.Request.URL.Query().Get("redirect_url")
if !utils.IsLocalPath(redirectURL) {
log.Errorf("invalid redirect url: %v", redirectURL)
oc.SendBadRequestError(fmt.Errorf("cannot redirect to other site"))
return
}
if err := oc.SetSession(redirectURLKey, redirectURL); err != nil {
...
Impact
When Harbor is configured with OIDC authentication and users log in via a link outside the Harbor server, it might be vulnerable to an open redirect attack. This attack only involves the OIDC Harbor user, if the current Harbor instance is not configured with OIDC auth, the redirect_url doesn't exist and the Harbor instance is not vulnerable to the open redirect attack.
The following versions of Harbor are involved: <=Harbor 2.8.4, <=Harbor 2.9.2, <= Harbor 2.10.0
Patches
Harbor 2.8.5, Harbor 2.9.3, Harbor 2.10.1
Workarounds
When the Harbor is configured with OIDC authentication, warn the user not to log into the Harbor through external links.

Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for github.com/goharbor/harbor, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update github.com/goharbor/harbor to 2.8.5 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2024-22244 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
Stop reflecting attacker-controlled destinations: resolve every redirect target against an allowlist of paths or hosts you own, prefer a server-side key over a full URL in the request, and reject absolute URLs entirely where the flow only ever needs a relative one.
