CVE-2026-101090 nezhahq CVE debrief
Nezha 2.2.3 contains a Host header injection regression in the OAuth2 redirect endpoint. When the new optional dashboard_host setting is empty, /api/v1/oauth2/{provider} reflects the attacker-supplied HTTP Host header into the redirect_uri sent to the identity provider instead of falling back to the configured install_host. An attacker who induces a victim to begin OAuth2 login via a request that reaches Nezha with a forged Host header can cause an attacker-controlled callback URL to be used as the redirect_uri; if the OAuth2 provider accepts it, the victim's authorization code is delivered to the attacker origin, allowing the attacker to complete the OAuth2 login/binding flow and take over the account.

Who should care
Defenders responsible for Nezha installations, particularly those using the OAuth2 login feature, should assess their exposure and verify the dashboard_host setting. Additionally, security teams monitoring for suspicious OAuth2 login attempts should be aware of this vulnerability.
Why it matters
CVE-2026-101090 is a critical vulnerability in Nezha 2.2.3 that allows an attacker to control the redirect_uri in the OAuth2 login flow, potentially leading to account takeover. Defenders should prioritize verifying the dashboard_host setting and monitoring for suspicious OAuth2 login attempts.
- An attacker can control the redirect_uri and potentially take over the victim's account
- Defenders need to verify the dashboard_host setting to prevent this vulnerability
- Monitoring for suspicious OAuth2 login attempts is crucial to detect potential exploitation
- The vulnerability requires configuration-dependent exploitation (dashboard_host empty)
Technical summary
The vulnerability is a Host header injection regression in the OAuth2 redirect endpoint of Nezha 2.2.3. When the dashboard_host setting is empty, the /api/v1/oauth2/{provider} endpoint reflects the attacker-supplied HTTP Host header into the redirect_uri sent to the identity provider. This allows an attacker to control the callback URL and potentially take over the victim's account by completing the OAuth2 login/binding flow. Defenders should prioritize verifying the dashboard_host setting and ensuring it is not empty to prevent this vulnerability. Additionally, defenders should monitor for any suspicious OAuth2 login attempts and review the redirect_uri sent to the identity provider to detect potential attacks
Defensive priority
Defenders should prioritize verifying the dashboard_host setting and ensuring it is not empty to prevent this vulnerability. Additionally, defenders should monitor for any suspicious OAuth2 login attempts and review the redirect_uri sent to the identity provider.
Recommended defensive actions
- Verify the dashboard_host setting and ensure it is not empty
- Monitor for suspicious OAuth2 login attempts
- Review the redirect_uri sent to the identity provider
- Consider updating to a patched version when available
- Confirm whether affected Nezha 2.2.3 deployments exist in managed environments and assign an owner for follow-up.
- Review compensating controls for exposed systems while remediation is scheduled and verified.
- Track exceptions, retest remediated assets, and close the item only after evidence is documented.
