Source description

As published by the source; long descriptions are shortened.

Impact It is possible for an attacker to craft malicious Urls that certain functions in IdentityServer will incorrectly treat as local and trusted. If such a Url is returned as a redirect, some browsers will follow it to a third-party, untrusted site. Affected Methods - In the DefaultIdentityServerInteractionService, the GetAuthorizationContextAsync method may return non-null and the IsValidReturnUrl method may return true for malicious Urls, indicating incorrectly that they can be safely redirected to. UI code calling these two methods is the most commonly used code path that will expose the vulnerability. The default UI templates rely on this behavior in the Login, Challenge, and Consent pages. Customized user interface code might also rely on this behavior. The following uncommonly used APIs are also vulnerable: - The ServerUrlExtensions.GetIdentityServerRelativeUrl, ReturnUrlParser.ParseAsync and OidcReturnUrlParser.ParseAsync methods may incorrectly return non-null, and the…

# Patch Next advisory brief: GHSA-55p7-v223-x366

Advisory: IdentityServer Open Redirect vulnerability
IDs: GHSA-55p7-v223-x366
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/ghsa-55p7-v223-x366 (revision 1, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 17:00 UTC)
Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected.
Severity: Medium (CVSS 5.1)
Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV.
Vendor response: Vendor response not established. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- NuGet identityserver4: affected <= 4.1.2

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- NuGet identityserver4: check the installed version with your package manager.

## Supported action
No complete vendor fix is recorded. Follow the primary source's mitigation guidance and check this record again before closing anything.

## Required regression checks
- Run the test suite and a production build.
- Exercise the features that depend on identityserver4.
- Repeat the inspection and confirm that only fixed versions remain installed.

## Rollback considerations
- Keep the previous lockfile and deployment artifact. Rolling back reinstates the vulnerable version, so apply any documented mitigation while you fix forward.

## Unresolved questions
- Which deployments run an affected version?
- Exploitation status can change. Check again before lowering the priority.
- Mark the work resolved only after the fixed version is verified in production.

## Sources
- Verified: https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-55p7-v223-x366 (GitHub-reviewed advisory GHSA-55p7-v223-x366 lists affected ranges: NuGet identityserver4 >=0 <=4.1.2)

Commands are suggestions: review each one before running it.
