Affected host: alerts.newrelic.com
Affected resource: /auth/newrelic
Affected GET parameter: origin
https://alerts.newrelic.com/auth/newrelic?origin=.example.com
https://alerts.newrelic.com.example.com
The origin
parameter is used by the web application to redirect the user to a specified resource by appending its value to the end of this string: https://alerts.newrelic.com
. This allows attackers to redirect New Relic users to domains they control (in this case example.com
). This can be leveraged to phish a customer's sensitive information. Please also note that if the user is already logged-in, he'll be immediately taken to https://alerts.newrelic.com.example.com
.
