Last modified

CVE-2026-54603 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 8.6/10 on the CVSS scale. OAuth2 is a Ruby wrapper for the OAuth 2.0 and 2.1 authorization frameworks, including OpenID Connect (OIDC). From 0.4.0 to 2.0.21, a protocol-relative redirect Location returned to OAuth2::Client#request overrides the request authority, so the bearer Authorization header is sent to an attacker-controlled host, leaking the credential. EPSS estimates a 0.36% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
