CVE-2024-25128 — Vulnerability in flask-appbuilder — CVE Details

CRITICAL

Flask-AppBuilder vulnerable to incorrect authentication when using auth type OpenID

Published June 29, 2026Updated July 1, 2026Source: osv

Summary

### Impact When Flask-AppBuilder is set to AUTH_TYPE AUTH_OID, allows an attacker to forge an HTTP request, that could deceive the backend into using any requested OpenID service. This vulnerability could grant an attacker unauthorised privilege access if a custom OpenID service is deployed by the attacker and accessible by the backend. This vulnerability is only exploitable when the application is using the old (deprecated 10 years ago) OpenID 2.0 authorization protocol (which is very different from the popular OIDC - Open ID Connect - popular protocol used today). Currently, this protocol is regarded as legacy, with significantly reduced usage and not supported for several years by major authorization providers. ### Patches Upgrade to Flask-AppBuilder 4.3.11 ### Workarounds If upgrade is not possible add the following to your config: ``` from flask import flash, redirect from flask_appbuilder import expose from flask_appbuilder.security.sqla.manager import SecurityManager from flask_appbuilder.security.views import AuthOIDView from flask_appbuilder.security.forms import LoginForm_oid basedir = os.path.abspath(os.path.dirname(__file__)) class FixedOIDView(AuthOIDView): @expose("/login/", methods=["GET" , "POST"]) def login(self, flag=True): form = LoginForm_oid() if form.validate_on_submit(): identity_url = None for provider in self.appbuilder.sm.openid_providers: if provider.get("url") == form.openid.data: identity_url = form.openid.data if identity_url is None: flash(self.invalid_login_message, "warning") return redirect(self.appbuilder.get_url_for_login) return super().login(flag=flag) class FixedSecurityManager(SecurityManager): authoidview = FixedOIDView FAB_SECURITY_MANAGER_CLASS = "config.FixedSecurityManager" ```
