Summary:
Via HackerOne. This defuses an attack which allows users to steal OAuth tokens through a clever sequence of steps:
- The attacker begins the OAuth workflow and copies the Facebook URL.
- The attacker mutates the URL to use the JS/anchor workflow, and to redirect to `/phame/live/X/` instead of `/login/facebook:facebook.com/`, where `X` is the ID of some blog they control. Facebook isn't strict about paths, so this is allowed.
- The blog has an external domain set (`blog.evil.com`), and the attacker controls that domain.
- The user gets stopped on the "live" controller with credentials in the page anchor (`#access_token=...`) and a message ("This blog has moved...") in a dialog. They click "Continue", which POSTs a CSRF token.
- When a user POSTs a `<form />` with no `action` attribute, the browser retains the page anchor. So visiting `/phame/live/8/#anchor` and clicking the "Continue" button POSTs you to a page with `#anchor` intact.
- Some browsers (including Firefox and Chrome) retain the anchor after a 302 redirect.
- The OAuth credentials are thus preserved when the user reaches `blog.evil.com`, and the attacker's site can read them.
This 302'ing after CSRF post is unusual in Phabricator and unique to Phame. It's not necessary -- instead, just use normal links, which drop anchors.
I'm going to pursue further steps to mitigate this class of attack more thoroughly:
- Ideally, we should render forms with an explicit `action` attribute, but this might be a lot of work. I might render them with `#` if no action is provided. We never expect anchors to survive POST, and it's surprising to me that they do.
- I'm going to blacklist OAuth parameters (like `access_token`) from appearing in GET on all pages except whitelisted pages (login pages). Although it's not important here, I think these could be captured from referrers in some cases. See also T4342.
Test Plan: Browsed all the affected Phame interfaces.
