CVE-2026-34969

Nhost Leaks the Refresh Token via URL Query Parameter in OAuth Provider Callback

2.3 LowFix available

Nhost is an open source Firebase alternative with GraphQL. Prior to 0.48.0, the auth service's OAuth provider callback flow places the refresh token directly into the redirect URL as a query parameter. Refresh tokens in URLs are logged in browser history, server access logs, HTTP Referer headers, and proxy/CDN logs. Note that the refresh token is one-time use and all of these leak vectors are on owned infrastructure or services integrated by the application developer. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.48.0.

Nhost Leaks Refresh Tokens via URL Query Parameter in OAuth Provider Callback

Refresh Token Leaked via URL Query Parameter in OAuth Provider Callback

Summary

The auth service's OAuth provider callback flow places the refresh token directly into the redirect URL as a query parameter. Refresh tokens in URLs are logged in browser history, server access logs, HTTP Referer headers, and proxy/CDN logs.

Note that the refresh token is one-time use and all of these leak vectors are on owned infrastructure or services integrated by the application developer.

Affected Component

  • Repository: github.com/nhost/nhost
  • Service: services/auth
  • File: services/auth/go/controller/sign_in_provider_callback_get.go
  • Function: signinProviderProviderCallback (lines 257-261)

Root Cause

In sign_in_provider_callback_get.go:257-261, after successful OAuth sign-in, the refresh token is appended as a URL query parameter:

if session != nil {
    values := redirectTo.Query()
    values.Add("refreshToken", session.RefreshToken)
    redirectTo.RawQuery = values.Encode()
}

This results in a redirect like:

HTTP/1.1 302 Found
Location: https://myapp.com/callback?refreshToken=a1b2c3d4-e5f6-7890-abcd-ef1234567890

Proof of Concept

Step 1: Initiate OAuth login

GET /signin/provider/github?redirectTo=https://myapp.com/callback

Step 2: Complete OAuth flow with provider

Step 3: Auth service redirects with token in URL

HTTP/1.1 302 Found
Location: https://myapp.com/callback?refreshToken=a1b2c3d4-e5f6-7890-abcd-ef1234567890

Step 4: Token is now visible in owned infrastructure and services:

Browser History:

# User's browser history now contains the refresh token

HTTP Referer Header:

# If the callback page loads ANY external resource (image, script, etc.):
GET /resource.js HTTP/1.1
Host: cdn.example.com
Referer: https://myapp.com/callback?refreshToken=a1b2c3d4-e5f6-...
# Note: modern browsers default to strict-origin-when-cross-origin policy,
# which strips query parameters from cross-origin Referer headers.
# Additionally, the Referer is only sent to services integrated by the
# application developer (analytics, CDNs, etc.), not arbitrary third parties.

Server Access Logs:

# Reverse proxy, CDN, or load balancer logs on owned infrastructure:
2026-03-08 12:00:00 GET /callback?refreshToken=a1b2c3d4-e5f6-... 200

Step 5: Attacker uses stolen refresh token

# Exchange stolen refresh token for new access token
curl -X POST https://auth.nhost.run/v1/token \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"refreshToken": "a1b2c3d4-e5f6-7890-abcd-ef1234567890"}'

# Note: refresh tokens are one-time use, so this only works if the
# legitimate client has not already consumed the token and if the attacker has
# compromised your infrastructure to get access to this information

Impact

  1. Session Hijacking: Anyone who obtains the token before it is consumed by the legitimate client can generate new access tokens, though the refresh token is one-time use and cannot be reused after consumption.

  2. Leak Vectors: URL query parameters are visible in owned infrastructure and integrated services:

    • Browser history (local access)
    • HTTP Referer headers (mitigated by modern browser default referrer policies; only sent to developer-integrated services)
    • Server access logs (owned infrastructure)
    • Proxy/CDN/WAF logs (owned infrastructure)

  3. Affects All OAuth Providers: Every OAuth provider flow (GitHub, Google, Apple, etc.) goes through the same callback handler.

Fix

Implemented PKCE (Proof Key for Code Exchange) for the OAuth flow. With PKCE, the authorization code cannot be exchanged without the code_verifier that only the original client possesses, preventing token misuse even if the URL is logged.
