fix(auth): prevent open redirect on OIDC login returnUrl (port to main) - #8585
Conversation
Decode and strip control characters before accepting a return URL so encoded protocol-relative targets such as /%09/evil.com cannot bypass the local-path check.

Elsa 3 Code Review: REQUEST_CHANGES + HIGH @ 0fe7667
Code Review, Round 1/4
Scope: elsa-core#8585, the main port of the Studio open-redirect fix (elsa-studio#1106) into src/studio. Base 37ac060; three commits; 11 files.
Verdict: same result as the elsa-studio#1105 Round 1 review. The open redirect is fixed and no bypass was found. However, LocalReturnPath.Normalize returns the decoded string, which corrupts legitimate return URLs and turns encoded non-ASCII paths into an HTTP 500 after OIDC sign-in. The legacy Elsa Login page also loses its destination. Fix those the same way as in #1105, and bring over the two test updates this port left out.
How this was verified
- Built the PR head (
src/studio+src/clients) with the .NET 10 SDK. - Hosted the real
AuthenticationControlleron Kestrel with real model binding. A stand-in handler does what the OIDC/cookie handlers do after the IdP round trip:Response.Redirect(properties.RedirectUri). RawLocationheaders were read forGET /authentication/loginandGET /authentication/logout. No end-to-end run against a real IdP. Elsa.Studio.ExternalAuthentication.Tests: 258/258 pass at the head.
1. Original repro and bypass corpus
Same corpus as the elsa-studio#1105 Round 1 review: about 60 payloads plus encoding-depth and size probes. The login Location and Normalize results are byte-for-byte identical to #1105, and GET logout behaves the same.
- Original repro:
/%09/evil.com→/. On main before this PR it was/<TAB>/evil.com, the same NormalizeReturnUrl bypass. - Rejected to
/://,/\,\\,/%2F/,/%5C/,%2F%2F; double- and triple-encoded forms; full-width／／evil.com; leading spaces;javascript:/data:/mailto:/http:evil.com/https://HTTPS:///%68ttps://; backslash mixes; NUL,\x0b,\x0c, DEL, CR/LF, C1. - Passed through, all same-origin:
/ /evil.com;/..//evil.comand/.//evil.com, which a browser resolves tohttps://studio//evil.com(Url.IsLocalUrlaccepts these too);/javascript:alert(1);- malformed escapes.
- Non-ASCII typed raw still gives a 500, unchanged from before and not a redirect.
- DoS: a 1M-char deeply encoded input takes 14 ms, and the loop terminates.
/+ 9× encoded returns a partly decoded/%2F%2Fevil.comat the 8-pass cap. That is safe at every sink, but it should fail closed.
2. Allowlist vs denylist; second layer
Same as #1105:
- The core rule is right. Requiring a single leading
/rules out every scheme; it's the same ruleUrl.IsLocalUrluses. - What's wrong around it:
- returning the decoded value (B1);
- stripping control characters instead of rejecting them;
- the
://check, which rejects/workflows?ref=https://docs(verified); - the redundant
IsAbsoluteUricheck and the deadcatch.
- Second layer:
- External Authentication Server controller:
LocalRedirect; - CultureController:
IsLocalUrl+LocalRedirect("~/"); - OIDC
AuthenticationController: none (optional, since Normalize output always satisfiesIsLocalUrl).
- External Authentication Server controller:
On the open CodeRabbit thread at CultureController.cs:30, there is no open redirect.
- Model binding turns
?redirectUri=/%09/evil.cominto/\t/evil.com, whichUrl.IsLocalUrlrejects. Verified:IsLocalUrl("/\t/evil.com") == false. - The only way to reach the controller with a literal
/%09/evil.comis%2509. That yields a same-origin path, because browsers don't decode%09in aLocationpath. - Routing culture through
Normalizeis optional consistency. A test would still be welcome.
3. Correctness of legitimate paths
B1 (blocking): same as #1105, and verified on this head. …?search=a%26b → a&b; 100%25 → 100%; abc%2Fdef → abc/def; a%2Bb → a+b; ?ref=https%3A%2F%2Fdocs → /; /caf%C3%A9 and …%E2%82%AC → HTTP 500 at the redirect.
The port makes this worse in one place. The main OpenIdConnectAuthorizationService now normalizes the return path both when it stores it (PathAndQuery) and when it reads it back. That is one more decode than before.
Apply the same Normalize proposed in the elsa-studio#1105 Round 1 review: validate a decoded copy, return the original, and fail closed when decoding doesn't settle. It passes the full corpus and round-trips every legitimate row.
B2 (blocking): the legacy Elsa Login page loses its destination. ElsaIdentityAuthorizationService on main sends /login?returnUrl=workflows/instances, which is base-relative. Login.razor.cs:59 now normalizes that to /. This is the open Greptile P1. Fix it as in #1105: send a rooted, escaped PathAndQuery, which keeps PathBase, and root base-relative values on the page. Add tests.
PathBase: main's legacy OIDC service stores a rooted PathAndQuery that includes PathBase, so the PathBase regression found in #1105 (B3 there) does not apply here. Fragments are preserved. Culture redirects are unaffected.
4. Coverage
Same set of sinks as #1105, and all are covered. Main's GET Logout and the OpenIdConnectAuthorizationService store and read paths are covered too. The only gap is B2. No missed sink.
5. Port fidelity
LocalReturnPath.cs: identical to #1105.AuthenticationController.Logout: stays[HttpGet]+[FromQuery]and gets Normalize. Justified: main does not have the POST + antiforgery change from release/3.9. GET logout being forgeable from another site is pre-existing and noted in #1106, not this PR's concern.OpenIdConnectAuthorizationService: main has a different design (randomstate+ a pending return path in sessionStorage). The port normalizes on store and on read instead of #1105'sNormalizeStateReturnUrl. Justified, though storing a rootedPathAndQuerymeans the store-side call is only needed once B1 is fixed.- Missing test updates:
ExternalAuthenticationWasmTests.ReturnPathsRemainClientLocalandLoginChooserTests.InvalidReturnPaths_AreNeverForwardedexist on main but weren't given #1105's new rows. Bring them over, or better, adopt the single table-driven corpus suggested in the elsa-studio#1105 Round 1 review. - BOM removal: stripped from
CultureController.csandOpenIdConnectAuthorizationService.cs. Harmless. - No third PR needed: since core
mainis the canonical Studio main, this PR is the complete main port.
6. Maintainability and tests
Same points as #1105:
- Simplify
Normalizeto the single rule proposed there. - Drop or obsolete the three delegating wrappers, including the second type named
LocalReturnPath. - Use one table-driven corpus that includes legitimate encoded rows; these would have caught B1.
- Add a controller row with the bound
"/\t/evil.com". - Add tests for
Login.razor.cs, the OIDC store/read round trip, andCultureController. - A revert check on #1105's identical tests showed they fail without the fix, so they're meaningful.
7. CI, Greptile, review threads
- CI at 0fe7667:
- Passing: CodeQL (all languages, including both C# analyses), select-tests, GitGuardian, CLA.
- Pending at the time of writing:
ubuntu-latest. - Skipped:
run-affected-tests, by the selector.
- Greptile: 3/5. Below the required 5/5.
- Five open threads:
- Greptile P1
Login.razor.cs:59(B2); - Greptile P1
LocalReturnPath.cs:51(B1); - CodeRabbit Major
LocalReturnPath.cs:51(B1); - CodeRabbit Minor
LocalReturnPath.cs:35: the://false positive. Valid, and removed by the proposedNormalize; - CodeRabbit Minor
CultureController.cs:30: not an open redirect; see item 2.
- Greptile P1
Required before approval
- B1: same
Normalizefix as #1105, with the legitimate-encoding test rows. - B2: legacy Elsa Login keeps base-relative destinations, with tests.
- Port #1105's WASM and chooser test rows, or the consolidated corpus.
- Greptile 5/5 with the threads resolved, and CI green on the new head, including
ubuntu-latest.
Return the original local path after validating a decoded copy, accept scheme-less relative ElsaLogin destinations, and fail closed on over-encoded protocol-relative URLs. Share one TheoryData corpus across the Studio auth tests.

Elsa 3 Code Review: REQUEST_CHANGES + HIGH @ 22ba96d
Code Review, Round 2/4
Scope: elsa-core#8585, the main port into src/studio. New commits e706b13, 25bcaeb and 22ba96d on top of 0fe7667. Base 37ac060.
Verdict: same as the elsa-studio#1105 Round 2 review. The Round 1 blockers are fixed: legitimate links come back byte-for-byte, the 9×-encoded case fails closed, the legacy destination is kept, and the corpus is shared. The new "relative paths are local" rule, however, introduces two regressions:
- Finding A: drive-letter forms resolve to
file:in Blazor Server'sNavigationManager.c|/windowsbecomesfile:///c:/windows, andc|evil.comthrowsUriFormatException. - Finding B: the External Authentication Server sinks now return HTTP 500 for relative return paths.
LocalRedirectrejects them, atExternalAuthenticationController.cs:133,:235and:250on this head.
No attacker-host redirect was found.
How this was verified
- Builds and tests: built the head (
src/studio+src/clients) with the .NET 10 SDK.Elsa.Studio.ExternalAuthentication.Testspasses 403/403. - Same harness as the studio review:
- the real
AuthenticationControlleron Kestrel underUsePathBase("/elsa"), with real model binding and a realUrlhelper; GET logout on main; - a real Blazor
NavigationManager.ToAbsoluteUrifor Blazor Server; - the WHATWG URL parser for WASM.
- the real
- Corpus: the same 119 probes.
Result: login Location, Normalize output, Blazor Server resolution and WASM resolution are identical to elsa-studio#1105 for all 119 probes. GET logout matches POST logout on studio.
- Rejected to
/everywhere: every scheme-without-slashes, encoded-scheme, backslash, leading-whitespace/control and Round 1 attack row. - Lookalikes: Unicode lookalikes,
@evil.com,evil.comand dot-segment forms stay on the Studio origin. - The one off-origin result:
c|/windows→file:///c:/windows, in Blazor Server only.
For the full table and the analysis of Findings A, B and C, see the elsa-studio#1105 Round 2 review. The code is the same:
- ElsaLogin bypasses the controller's check: the legacy page (
Login.razor.cs:59) andElsaIdentityLoginMethod.razor:53callNavigateTodirectly, so the new controller-sideIsLocalUrlcheck never applies to them. - The controller's second check is safe: it sends every relative value to
/. - Finding C: the controller tests use
new AuthenticationController()withUrl == null. That means theUrl?.IsLocalUrlcheck never runs in tests, and the corpus assertsworkflows/xat a controller that returns/in production.
Proposed fix (same as studio):
Normalizereturns only rooted paths or/. Keep this round's decode-and-return-original loop, and dropIsLocalDestination/HasSchemeOrHost.- Root ElsaLogin's base-relative value against
new Uri(NavigationManager.BaseUri).AbsolutePathinLogin.razor.cs. - Give the controller tests a real
UrlHelper, and drop the?..
Round 1 items
- 9×-encoded case: gives
/, bare or/-prefixed ✓. - Legitimate links: byte-identical with no 500, including
%26,%25,%2F,%2B,?ref=https://…,/caf%C3%A9and%E2%82%AC✓. - PathBase:
/elsa/…round-trips ✓. Main's legacy OIDC service already stored a rootedPathAndQuery, so the studio-only state fix (CaptureReturnPath) isn't needed here. - Round 1 corpus: unchanged results ✓.
Port fidelity
LocalReturnPath.cs, LocalReturnPathCorpus.cs, the AuthenticationController change and all four test classes are identical to elsa-studio#1105. The justified differences:
Logoutstays[HttpGet]+[FromQuery], because main lacks the POST + antiforgery change.- The OIDC service keeps main's random
state+ sessionStorage design. LegacyOidcStateHelperKeepsPathBase, theElsa.Studio.Logintest reference andInternalsVisibleToare not ported, correctly, since main has no state helper.- A BOM is stripped in two files.
The Round 1 gap (WASM and chooser test rows not ported) is closed: both now use the shared corpus ✓.
Tests
- Fails when reverted: the identical studio suite fails 33 rows with the pre-fix
Normalize, 36 when it returns the decoded string instead of the original, and 15 with relative paths rejected. Not re-run on core, since the code and tests are byte-identical. - Same corpus gaps as studio:
- no

Elsa 3 Code Review: APPROVE + HIGH @ 9c066d4
Code Review, Round 3/4
Scope: elsa-core#8585, the main port into src/studio. New commits 4291270, faff1aa and 9c066d4 on top of 22ba96d. Base 37ac060.
Verdict: approve, same result as the elsa-studio#1105 Round 3 review. The open redirect is closed on main, and Round 2's Findings A, B and C are fixed. Legitimate links come back byte-for-byte and PathBase is kept. Required CI is green, Greptile is 5/5 on this head, and there are no open threads.
How this was verified
- Builds and tests: built the head (
src/studio+src/clients) with the .NET 10 SDK.Elsa.Studio.ExternalAuthentication.Testspasses 386/386. - Same harness as the studio review:
- the real
AuthenticationControlleron Kestrel underUsePathBase("/studio"), with real model binding and the realUrlhelper; GET logout onmain; NormalizeandRootAgainstBase(basehttps://studio.example/studio/);- Blazor Server resolution via a real
NavigationManager.ToAbsoluteUri, and WASM resolution via the WHATWG URL parser.
- the real
- Probes: the same 145.
Result: zero off-site results, and no exception, across all 145 probes at every sink. Output is identical to elsa-studio#1105 row for row. The only differences are two NUL rows in logout: studio's POST form parser answers 400, while main's GET logout redirects to /. Both are safe.
The full table, the rooting analysis (Normalize runs after rooting; no doubling for rooted values that already carry PathBase) and the mutation results are in the elsa-studio#1105 Round 3 review. The code is identical.
Round 2 findings
- A, fixed.
c|/windows,C|/x,z|/a/b,c|//evil.com/x,c|evil.comanda|bbecome/viaNormalize, or/studio/…viaRootAgainstBase.- Both resolve on-origin, with no
file:and no throw.
- B, fixed. Relative values normalize to
/before the threeLocalRedirectsinks inExternalAuthenticationController. The ported testsCallback_/Logout_/LogoutCallback_RelativeReturnPath_LocalRedirectsToRootpin this. - C, fixed. Controller tests use a real
UrlHelperover aControllerActionDescriptor, with no?.. The corpus expects/for relative rows at the controller.
Legitimate links
Byte-identical, with no 500:
%26,%25,%2F,%2B?ref=https://…,?ref=https%3A%2F%2F…#frag,/caf%C3%A9,%E2%82%AC/studio/…
main's legacy OIDC service still stores a rooted PathAndQuery.
Port fidelity
Identical to elsa-studio#1105:
LocalReturnPath.cs(includingRootAgainstBase);LocalReturnPathCorpus.cs,LocalReturnPathTests.cs,ServerBrokerAuthenticationTestsadditions andDirectOpenIdConnectLoginTests.CreateController;AuthenticationController.SafeRedirectUri;- the
LoginPanel,ElsaIdentityLoginMethodandLogin.razor.cschanges; - the
Elsa.Studio.LoginInternalsVisibleTo.
Justified differences:
Logoutstays[HttpGet]+[FromQuery], becausemainlacks the POST + antiforgery change.mainkeeps its own OIDC state design, so studio'sCaptureReturnPathand its test don't apply.ElsaIdentityLoginMethodonmainuses a method body rather than a lambda (same one-line change).- One unused
usingwas removed and a BOM stripped in two files.
Tests
- Mutation checks: the code and tests match studio, where the security-relevant mutations fail: pre-fix
Normalize17, "return decoded" 20, "controller without Normalize" 6, "RootAgainstBase skips Normalize" 1. Not re-run onmain. - Optional follow-ups (not blocking, not exploitable): the same two as studio:
- add
ResolveReturnUrl("\\evil.com", studioBase) == "/", to pin "normalize after rooting"; - add one bUnit assertion that
LoginPanelunder/studio/turnsworkflows/xintoContext.ReturnPath == "/studio/workflows/x", to pin deep links.
