Amazon Cognito 1-Click Open Redirection via OAuth Error Handling Abuse Researchers associated with Tenable have discovered a 1-click open redirection technique in Amazon Cognito that can be triggered by abusing the OAuth error-handling mechanism. The vulnerability stems from AWS's OAuth implementation validation sequence: if validation fails due to an unsupported scope, mismatched PKCE parameters, or an unsupported response type, the error handling processes the failure and automatically issues an HTTP redirect to an attacker-controlled redirect_uri. Because the identity platform evaluates th…
Microsoft Entra ID 1-Click Open Redirection via OAuth Error Handling Abuse Researchers associated with Tenable have discovered new techniques to trigger 1-click open redirection attacks in Microsoft Entra ID by abusing the OAuth error-handling mechanism.
