OAuth2 Proxy's session cookies are not cleared when rendering sign-in page

Package

gomod github.com/oauth2-proxy/oauth2-proxy/v7 (Go)

Affected versions

>= 7.11.0, < 7.15.2

Patched versions

7.15.2

Description

Impact

A regression introduced in v7.11.0 is preventing OAuth2 Proxy from clearing the session cookie when rendering the sign-in page.

This only impacts deployments that rely on the sign-in page as part of their logout flow. In those setups, a user may be shown the sign-in page while the existing session cookie remains valid, so the browser session is not actually logged out. On shared workstations be it browsers or devices, a subsequent user could continue to use the previous user's authenticated session.

Deployments that use a dedicated logout/sign-out endpoint to terminate sessions are not affected.

Patches

This issue is fixed in v7.15.2.

Workarounds

Do not rely on the sign-in page to clear an existing session. Instead:

  • Use the dedicated logout/sign-out endpoint of OAuth2 Proxy
  • Ensure your application logout flow explicitly clears the OAuth2 Proxy session cookie before redirecting users to the sign-in page
  • If needed, clear the session cookie at the reverse proxy or application layer as a temporary mitigation

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.

Weaknesses

Session Fixation

Authenticating a user, or otherwise establishing a new user session, without invalidating any existing session identifier gives an attacker the opportunity to steal authenticated sessions. Learn more on MITRE.

Insufficient Session Expiration

According to WASC, Insufficient Session Expiration is when a web site permits an attacker to reuse old session credentials or session IDs for authorization. Learn more on MITRE.
