Title

client-certificate-auth has an Open Redirect via Host Header Injection in HTTP-to-HTTPS redirect

Summary

client-certificate-auth is middleware for Node.js implementing client SSL certificate authentication/authorization. Versions 0.2.1 and 0.3.0 of client-certificate-auth contain an open redirect vulnerability. The middleware unconditionally redirects HTTP requests to HTTPS using the unvalidated Host header, allowing an attacker to redirect users to arbitrary domains. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.0.0.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-02-06 18:54 – Updated: 2026-02-06 21:43

Summary

client-certificate-auth Vulnerable to Open Redirect via Host Header Injection in HTTP-to-HTTPS redirect

Details

Summary

Versions 0.2.1 and 0.3.0 of client-certificate-auth contain an open redirect vulnerability. The middleware unconditionally redirects HTTP requests to HTTPS using the unvalidated Host header, allowing an attacker to redirect users to arbitrary domains.

Vulnerable Code

// lib/clientCertificateAuth.js (versions 0.2.1, 0.3.0)
if (!req.secure && req.header('x-forwarded-proto') != 'https') {
  return res.redirect('https://' + req.header('host') + req.url);
}

Attack Scenario

Attacker crafts a link: http://vulnerable-app.example.com/login
When victim clicks, attacker intercepts and injects header: Host: attacker.com
Server responds: 302 Found → https://attacker.com/login
Victim is redirected to attacker-controlled site

Impact

Phishing: Attackers can use trusted domain links to redirect victims to credential-harvesting pages
OAuth/SSO Token Theft: In authentication flows, authorization codes or tokens may leak via redirect
Referer Leakage: Sensitive URL parameters may be exposed to attacker domains via the Referer header
Cache Poisoning: In deployments with shared caches, malicious redirects may be cached and served to other users

Exploitability

Exploitation requires that HTTP traffic reaches the Node.js application without TLS termination setting x-forwarded-proto: https. This condition is uncommon in production deployments behind modern reverse proxies or load balancers, which limits real-world exploitability.

Fix

The vulnerable redirect behavior has been completely removed in version 1.0.0.

npm install client-certificate-auth@^1.0.0

Workarounds

If upgrading is not immediately possible:

Block HTTP traffic at the network/load balancer level
Ensure your reverse proxy always sets x-forwarded-proto: https
Add middleware before clientCertificateAuth to validate the Host header against an allowlist
