# CVE-2026-54072: Authorizer: Unvalidated redirect\_uri in /authorize leaks OAuth2 tokens to attacker-controlled URL

- Also known as: GHSA-H29V-HJ44-Q8CV, GO-2026-5959
- Severity: CVSS 9.3 (Critical), CNA
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:N
- CISA SSVC: exploitation=poc, automatable=no, technicalImpact=total
- Known exploited (CISA KEV): no
- Fixed in: 2.2.1, 0.0.0-20260409051328-bd3f5baf6d3d
- Published: 2026-09-11 · Updated: 2026-09-15

## Affected

- authorizerdev authorizer: fixed in 2.2.1
- github.com/authorizerdev/authorizer (Go): fixed in 0.0.0-20260409051328-bd3f5baf6d3d

## Description

Authorizer is an open-source, self-hostable authentication and authorization server. Prior to version 2.2.1, the `/authorize` endpoint accepts any `redirect_uri` without validating it against `AllowedOrigins`. When `response_type=token` or `response_type=id_token`, the server appends `access_token`, `id_token`, and `refresh_token` as query parameters and issues a 302 redirect to the attacker-supplied URL. An unauthenticated attacker can obtain the required `client_id` from the public `/graphql?query={meta{client_id}}` endpoint. A partial fix was applied in v2.0.1 to other handlers (`oauth_login`, `verify_email`, `magic_link_login`, `forgot_password`, `invite_members`, `oauth_callback`) but `/authorize` was not included. Version 2.2.1 contains a more complete fix.

## What to do
