Description

Improper Encoding or Escaping of Output vulnerability in ash-project ash_authentication_oauth2_server allows an unauthenticated attacker to inject arbitrary authentication parameters into the WWW-Authenticate challenge header. BearerPlug and RequireScopePlug built the Bearer resource_metadata="..." challenge by interpolating a resource_metadata URL derived from the request tenant directly into the quoted value. In a multi-tenant application that sets the Ash tenant from request-controlled data (a subdomain, the Host, a path segment, or a header), a tenant containing a " closes the quoted value and appends attacker-chosen auth-params, including a second resource_metadata URL pointing at an attacker-controlled authorization server that spec-following clients follow. Carriage returns and line feeds are rejected by Plug, so this is parameter injection within one header, not response splitting. This issue affects ash_authentication_oauth2_server: from 0.1.3 before 0.3.1.

Affected

Our own answer: ranges merged, affected separated from platform-only, with confidence and review flags.

0.1.3 ≤ v < 0.3.10.1.399de0a1cacb5ef667c4533278b7c81ca98c00231
Vendor states this is fixed in 09f97476715da031b136eaec7b2cda2363ad8149 (fixed)
Affected range stops below 0.3.1, so it looks safe — our inference, not a vendor statement
