Description

web2py versions 2.27.1-stable+timestamp.2023.11.16.08.03.57 and prior contain an Open Redirect vulnerability. If this vulnerability is exploited, the user may be redirected to an arbitrary website when accessing a specially crafted URL. As a result, the user may become a victim of a phishing attack.

Detection & mitigation playbook

Open-source dependency

  1. Detect

    Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for web2py, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.

  2. Fix

    Update web2py to 3.1.1 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-rf8c-3f5p-xv45 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

  3. 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.
