Affected packages
• Go miniflux.app/v2: < 2.2.15 → fixed in 2.2.15
Description
Summary
`redirect_url` is treated as safe when `url.Parse(...).IsAbs()` is false. Protocol-relative URLs like `//ikotaslabs.com` have an empty scheme and pass that check, allowing post-login redirects to attacker-controlled sites.
Details
• `url.Parse("//ikotaslabs.com")` => empty Scheme, Host="ikotaslabs.com".
• `IsAbs()` returns false for `//ikotaslabs.com`, so the code treats it as allowed.
• Browser resolves `//ikotaslabs.com` to current-origin scheme (e.g. `https://ikotaslabs.com`), enabling phishing flows after login.
PoC
1. Send or visit: `http://localhost/login?redirect_url=//ikotaslabs.com`
2. Complete normal login flow.
3. After login the app redirects to `https://ikotaslabs.com` (or `http://` depending on origin).
