Open Redirect in go.probo.inc/probo (CVE-2026-49820)
Summary
Vulnerability in go.probo.inc/probo (CVE-2026-49820). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure. Exploitable via saferedirect. Mitigation: upgrade to 0.204.0 or later.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
Impact
Probo's saferedirect package validates redirect URLs used across authentication flows (OIDC, SAML, session transfer, OAuth connectors, and trust-center magic links). The validator only inspected the second character of relative paths, so a URL like /../\evil.com passed validation because the second character is .. Go's http.Redirect normalizes this path to /\evil.com before setting the Location header. Browsers can interpret the backslash as a host separator and redirect the user to an external domain (https://evil.com), bypassing the intended same-origin restriction. This enables open-redirect phishing: an attacker can craft a continue parameter (or embed a malicious URL in a session-transfer token) that appears to originate from a trusted Probo domain but redirects victims elsewhere.
Patches
Fixed in go.probo.inc/probo by normalizing relative paths with path.Clean before validation, rejecting backslashes (including
percent-encoded %5c) anywhere in the path, and re-checking the normalized result for protocol-relative and backslash prefixes.
Self-hosted deployments should upgrade to probod v0.194.1 or later.
SaaS deployments on getprobo.com are patched.
Workarounds
No practical workaround for self-hosted installations. Upgrade to the patched release.
