CVE-2026-53683

Freeipa: idm: idm/freeipa web ui - client-side open redirect in reset_password.html

Published Sep 2, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 4.3 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
reset_password.html parses query string parameters and uses the 'url' parameter as a redirection target (window.location = url) after password reset, optionally delayed by a 'delay' parameter. No validation or allowlisting is performed on url, enabling an attacker to redirect users to an arbitrary external site after completion of the password-reset workflow.

Remediation

Vendor Workaround

Eliminate arbitrary URL redirects. If a post-reset return URL is required, allowlist same-origin paths only, or validate against a strict allowlist of trusted hosts and the HTTPS scheme. Prefer server-generated, signed return tokens instead of raw URLs, and ensure the UI uses safe navigation helpers that reject dangerous schemes and external origins.
