===========================================
OSSA-2021-002: Open Redirect in noVNC proxy
===========================================
:Date: July 29, 2021
:CVE: CVE-2021-3654
Affects
~~~~~~~
- Nova: <21.2.3, >=22.0.0 <22.2.3, >=23.0.0 <23.0.3
Description
~~~~~~~~~~~
Swe Aung, Shahaan Ayyub, and Salman Khan with the Monash University
Cyber Security team reported a vulnerability affecting Nova's noVNC
proxying implementation which exposed access to a well-known
redirect behavior in the Python standard library's
http.server.SimpleHTTPRequestHandler and thus noVNC's
WebSockifyRequestHandler which uses it. By convincing a user to
follow a specially-crafted novncproxy URL, the user could be
redirected to an unrelated site under control of the attacker in an
attempt to convince them to divulge credentials or other sensitive
data. All Nova deployments with novncproxy enabled are affected.
Errata
~~~~~~
The initial fix did not take into account the possibility of bypass
using exactly three slashes. This update provides a more thorough
revised fix for the issue. The affected versions list has been
updated to indicate versions expected to include the newer solution.
