The MFA validate and register endpoints honoured the user-supplied 'next' query/form parameter without confirming the target pointed back inside pgAdmin, so an authenticated victim who clicked /mfa/validate?next=<external> -- a link typically delivered by phishing -- would be sent to an attacker-controlled host directly out of the trusted auth flow.\n\nThe defect is a trusted-domain redirect, not a privilege bypass: the attacker gains no read/write access to pgAdmin or the victim's database, but the redirect launders the attacker's destination through pgAdmin's URL, which raises the success rate of credential-phishing follow-on against the victim.\n\nFix introduces a same-origin _is_safe_redirect_url helper and gates every MFA redirect that consumes user-supplied 'next' values through it. The helper allows only relative paths and absolute URLs whose scheme is http(s) and whose host matches the current request host; it rejects external hosts in absolute and protocol-relative form, non-http schemes (javascript:, data:, mailto:), userinfo tricks (http://localhost@attacker/), and backslash variants that some browsers normalize to forward slashes. Unsafe targets fall back to the internal browser index. A dedicated regression test exercises each accept/reject category and the original reporter PoC.\n\nThis issue affects pgAdmin 4: from 6.0 before 9.16."}], "references": [{"url": "https://github.com/pgadmin-org/pgadmin4/issues/10028", "tags": ["issue-tracking"]}, {"url": "https://github.com/pgadmin-org/pgadmin4/commit/fff6a481854b07822c2b54e8181e6a9076d204cd", "tags": ["patch"]}], "metrics": [{"format": "CVSS", "scenarios": [{"lang": "en", "value": "Attacker delivers a crafted /mfa/validate?next=<external> URL to a logged-in pgAdmin user (typically via phishing).
