Summary

An error in our OAuth2 flow for central.uber.com allowed an attacker to leverage an open redirect that allowed for a full account takeover. When logging into central.uber.com, the state parameter for login.uber.com contained a redirect location instead of a CSRF token. As a result, an attacker could modify the state parameter to have a poisoned central.uber.com path which would redirect to a custom domain after login and allow them to steal an account OAuth access token.

Thanks, @ngalog!
