CVE-2022-36087

OAuthLib vulnerable to DoS when attacker provides malicious IPV6 URI

Impact

### Impact - Attacker providing malicious redirect uri can cause DoS to oauthlib's web application. - Attacker can also leverage usage of `uri_validate` functions 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. ### References Attack Vector: - Attacker providing malicious redirect uri: https://github.com/oauthlib/oauthlib/blob/d4bafd9f1d0eba3766e933b1ac598cbbf37b8914/oauthlib/oauth2/rfc6749/grant_types/base.py#L232 - Vulnerable `uri_validate` functions: https://github.com/oauthlib/oauthlib/blob/2b8a44855a51ad5a5b0c348a08c2564a2e197ea2/oauthlib/uri_validate.py ### PoC ```python is_absolute_uri("http://[:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::]/path") ``` ### Acknowledgement Special thanks to Sebastian Chnelik - PyUp.io
