Summary
Pocket ID is an OIDC provider that allows users to authenticate with their passkeys to your services. From 2.0.0 to before 2.4.0, a flaw in callback URL validation allowed crafted redirect_uri values containing URL userinfo (@) to bypass legitimate callback pattern checks. If an attacker can trick a user into opening a malicious authorization link, the authorization code may be redirected to an attacker-controlled host. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.4.0.
