Who should care
Users of Nezha Monitoring versions 1.0.0 through 2.1.0 should update to version 2.2.0 or later to mitigate this vulnerability.
Technical summary
The getRedirectURL function in oauth2.go (lines 22-29) constructs the OAuth2 callback URL by concatenating the request's Host header with a fixed path, without proper validation of the Host header. This allows for host header injection attacks.
Defensive priority
Medium
Recommended defensive actions
- Update Nezha Monitoring to version 2.2.0 or later.
- Review and validate user input, especially the Host header, to prevent similar vulnerabilities.
