CVE-2026-81029 describes an open redirect vulnerability in OpenMetadata where the application accepts a caller-supplied post-authentication redirect target without validation. The SamlLoginServlet stores the callback parameter in the HTTP session without verifying it against any registered destination, and later appends the freshly issued JWT token along with the user's email and name to that URL before redirecting. The OIDC and OAuth2 handlers follow the same flawed pattern. An attacker can craft a malicious link pointing to an attacker-controlled destination, causing the server to deliver a valid authentication token to that destination when a victim completes login. This effectively results in full account takeover since the token authenticates API calls as the victim's account. Version 2.0.0 of OpenMetadata resolves the issue by removing the caller-supplied callback parameter entirely, while no 1.x release includes any validation of this parameter.
