Description
OAuthLib is an implementation of the OAuth request-signing logic for Python 3.6+. In OAuthLib versions 3.1.1 until 3.2.1, an attacker providing malicious redirect uri can cause denial of service. An attacker can also leverage usage of `uri_validate` functions depending where it is used. OAuthLib applications using OAuth2.0 provider support or use directly `uri_validate` are affected by this issue. Version 3.2.1 contains a patch. There are no known workarounds.
Affected products
- Fedoraproject Fedora: 37
- Oauthlib Project Oauthlib: from 3.1.1 before 3.2.1 — fixed in 3.2.1
How to fix
Upgrade to a fixed version: Oauthlib Project Oauthlib 3.2.1. Check the vendor advisory for mitigations.
