OAuthLib vulnerable to DoS when attacker provides malicious IPV6 URI
Impact
- Attacker providing malicious redirect uri can cause DoS to oauthlib's web application.
- Attacker can also leverage usage of
uri_validatefunctions depending where it is used.
What kind of vulnerability is it? Who is impacted?
Oauthlib applications using OAuth2.0 provider support or use directly uri_validate function.
Patches
Has the problem been patched? What versions should users upgrade to?
Issue fixed in 3.2.2 release.
Workarounds
Is there a way for users to fix or remediate the vulnerability without upgrading?
The redirect_uri can be verified in web toolkit (i.e bottle-oauthlib, django-oauth-toolkit, ...) before oauthlib is called. A sample check if : is present to reject the request can prevent the DoS, assuming no port or IPv6 is fundamentally required.
