  "summary" : "Sylius has an Open Redirect via Referer Header",
  "details" : "### Impact\n`CurrencySwitchController::switchAction()`, `ImpersonateUserController::impersonateAction()` and `StorageBasedLocaleSwitcher::handle()` use the HTTP Referer header directly when redirecting.\n\nThe attack requires the victim to click a legitimate application link placed on an attacker-controlled page. The browser automatically sends the attacker's site as the Referer, and the application redirects back to it. This can be used for phishing or credential theft, as the redirect originates from a trusted domain.\n\nThe severity varies by endpoint; public endpoints require no authentication and are trivially exploitable, while admin-only endpoints require an authenticated session but remain vulnerable if an admin follows a link from an external source such as email or chat.\n\nAffected classes:\n- `CurrencySwitchController::switchAction()` - public\n- `StorageBasedLocaleSwitcher::handle()` - public, used in locale switching without having locale in the `url`\n- `ImpersonateUserController::impersonateAction()` - admin-only\n\n### Patches\nThe issue is fixed in versions: 1.9.12, 1.10.16, 1.11.17, 1.12.23, 1.13.15, 1.14.18, 2.0.16, 2.1.12, 2.2.3 and above.\n\n### Workarounds\nIf you cannot update Sylius immediately, copy the affected classes from vendor to your project's `src/` directory, apply the fix, and override the service definitions.\n\n#### Step 1 - CurrencySwitchController\n\nCopy from `vendor/sylius/sylius/src/Sylius/Bundle/ShopBundle/Controller/CurrencySwitchController.php` to `src/Controller/CurrencySwitchController.php` and apply the following changes:\n\n```diff\n-namespace Sylius\\Bundle\\ShopBundle\\Controller;\n+namespace App\\Controller;\n\n use Sylius\\Component\\Channel\\Context\\ChannelContextInterface;\n use Sylius\\Component\\Core\\Currency\\CurrencyStorageInterface;\n use Sylius\\Component\\Core\\Model\\ChannelInterface;\n use Symfony\\Component\\HttpFoundation\\RedirectResponse;\n use Symfony\\Component\\HttpFoundation\\Request;\n use Symfony\\Component\\HttpFoundation\\Response;\n+use Symfony\\Component\\Routing\\RouterInterface;\n\n final class CurrencySwitchController\n {\n     public function __construct(\n         private Environment $templatingEngine, // for 1.x version\n         private CurrencyStorageInterface $currencyStorage,\n         private ChannelContextInterface $channelContext,\n+        private RouterInterface $router,\n     ) {\n     }\n\n     public function switchAction(Request $request, string $code): Response\n     {\n         /** @var ChannelInterface $channel */\n         $channel = $this->channelContext->getChannel();\n\n         $this->currencyStorage->set($channel, $code);\n\n-        return new RedirectResponse($request->headers->get('referer', $request->getSchemeAndHttpHost()));\n+        return new RedirectResponse($this->router->generate('sylius_shop_homepage'));\n     }\n }\n```\n\n#### Step 2 - ImpersonateUserController\n\nCopy from `vendor/sylius/sylius/src/Sylius/Bundle/AdminBundle/Controller/ImpersonateUserController.php` to `src/Controller/Admin/ImpersonateUserController.php` and apply the following changes:\n\n```diff\n-namespace Sylius\\Bundle\\AdminBundle\\Controller;\n+namespace App\\Controller\\Admin;\n\n // ... (keep all existing use statements)\n\n     public function impersonateAction(Request $request, string $username): Response\n     {\n         // ... (keep authorization check and impersonation logic)\n\n         $this->addFlash($request, $username);\n\n-        $redirectUrl = $request->headers->get(\n-            'referer',\n+        return new RedirectResponse(\n             $this->router->generate('sylius_admin_customer_show', ['id' => $user->getId()])\n         );\n-\n-        return new RedirectResponse($redirectUrl);\n     }\n```\n\n#### Step 3 - StorageBasedLocaleSwitcher (only if you use `locale_switcher: storage`)\n\n> **Note:** Skip this step if you use the default `locale_switcher: url` mode.\n\nCopy from `vendor/sylius/sylius/src/Sylius/Bundle/ShopBundle/Locale/StorageBasedLocaleSwitcher.php` to `src/Locale/StorageBasedLocaleSwitcher.php` and apply the following changes:\n\n**For Sylius 1.9 – 2.1.2:**\n\n```diff\n-namespace Sylius\\Bundle\\ShopBundle\\Locale;\n+namespace App\\Locale;\n\n use Sylius\\Bundle\\ShopBundle\\Locale\\LocaleSwitcherInterface;\n use Sylius\\Component\\Channel\\Context\\ChannelContextInterface;\n use Sylius\\Component\\Core\\Locale\\LocaleStorageInterface;\n use Symfony\\Component\\HttpFoundation\\RedirectResponse;\n use Symfony\\Component\\HttpFoundation\\Request;\n+use Symfony\\Component\\Routing\\RouterInterface;\n\n final class StorageBasedLocaleSwitcher implements LocaleSwitcherInterface\n {\n     public function __construct(\n         private LocaleStorageInterface $localeStorage,\n         private ChannelContextInterface $channelContext,\n+        private RouterInterface $router,\n     ) {\n     }\n\n     public function handle(Request $request, string $localeCode): RedirectResponse\n     {\n         $this->localeStorage->set($this->channelContext->getChannel(), $localeCode);\n\n-        return new RedirectResponse($request->headers->get('referer', $request->getSchemeAndHttpHost()));\n+        return new RedirectResponse($this->router->generate('sylius_shop_homepage'));\n     }\n }\n```\n\n**For Sylius 2.1.3 and later:**\n\n> In Sylius 2.1.3 the class was refactored to use `UrlMatcherInterface`. While this adds partial validation, it still passes the full referer URL to `RedirectResponse`, so the open redirect remains exploitable.\n\n```diff\n-namespace Sylius\\Bundle\\ShopBundle\\Locale;\n+namespace App\\Locale;\n\n use Sylius\\Bundle\\ShopBundle\\Locale\\LocaleSwitcherInterface;\n use Sylius\\Component\\Channel\\Context\\ChannelContextInterface;\n use Sylius\\Component\\Core\\Locale\\LocaleStorageInterface;\n use Symfony\\Component\\HttpFoundation\\RedirectResponse;\n use Symfony\\Component\\HttpFoundation\\Request;\n-use Symfony\\Component\\Routing\\Exception\\ResourceNotFoundException;\n-use Symfony\\Component\\Routing\\Matcher\\UrlMatcherInterface;\n+use Symfony\\Component\\Routing\\RouterInterface;\n\n final class StorageBasedLocaleSwitcher implements LocaleSwitcherInterface\n {\n     public function __construct(\n         private LocaleStorageInterface $localeStorage,\n         private ChannelContextInterface $channelContext,\n-        private ?UrlMatcherInterface $urlMatcher = null,\n+        private RouterInterface $router,\n     ) {\n-        if (null === $this->urlMatcher) {\n-            trigger_deprecation(\n-                'sylius/shop-bundle',\n-                '2.1',\n-                'Not passing a \"%s\" to \"%s\" is deprecated and will be required in Sylius 3.0.',\n-                UrlMatcherInterface::class,\n-                self::class,\n-            );\n-        }\n     }\n\n     public function handle(Request $request, string $localeCode): RedirectResponse\n     {\n         $this->localeStorage->set($this->channelContext->getChannel(), $localeCode);\n-        $url = $request->headers->get('referer', $request->getSchemeAndHttpHost());\n-\n-        if ($this->urlMatcher) {\n-            try {\n-                $this->urlMatcher->match($url);\n-            } catch (ResourceNotFoundException) {\n-                return new RedirectResponse($request->getSchemeAndHttpHost());\n-            }\n-        }\n-\n-        return new RedirectResponse($url);\n+        return new RedirectResponse($this->router->generate('sylius_shop_homepage'));\n     }\n }\n```\n\n#### Step 4 - Override the services\n\nAdd to `config/services.yaml`.\n\n**Sylius 1.x (1.9 – 1.14):**\n\n```yaml\nservices:\n    # ... your existing services ...\n\n    sylius.controller.shop.currency_switch:\n        class: App\\Controller\\CurrencySwitchController\n        public: true\n        arguments:\n            $templatingEngine: '@twig'\n            $currencyStorage: '@sylius.storage.currency'\n            $channelContext: '@sylius.context.channel'\n            $router: '@router'\n\n    sylius.controller.shop.impersonate_user:\n        class: App\\Controller\\Admin\\ImpersonateUserController\n        public: true\n        arguments:\n            $impersonator: '@sylius.admin.security.user_impersonator'\n            $authorizationChecker: '@security.authorization_checker'\n            $userProvider: '@sylius.admin_user_provider.email_or_name_based'\n            $router: '@router'\n            $authorizationRole: 'ROLE_ADMINISTRATION_ACCESS'\n\n    # Only if you use locale_switcher: storage\n    sylius.shop.locale_switcher:\n        class: App\\Locale\\StorageBasedLocaleSwitcher\n        public: false\n        arguments:\n            $localeStorage: '@sylius.storage.locale'\n            $channelContext: '@sylius.context.channel'\n            $router: '@router'\n```\n\n**Sylius 2.x (2.0 – 2.1):**\n\n```yaml\nservices:\n    # ... your existing services ...\n\n    sylius_shop.controller.currency_switch:\n        class: App\\Controller\\CurrencySwitchController\n        public: true\n        arguments:\n            $currencyStorage: '@sylius.storage.currency'\n            $channelContext: '@sylius.context.channel'\n            $router: '@router'\n\n    sylius_admin.controller.impersonate_user:\n        class: App\\Controller\\Admin\\ImpersonateUserController\n        public: true\n        arguments:\n            $impersonator: '@sylius_admin.security.shop_user_impersonator'\n            $authorizationChecker: '@security.authorization_checker'\n            $userProvider: '@sylius.shop_user_provider.email_or_name_based'\n            $router: '@router'\n            $authorizationRole: 'ROLE_ADMINISTRATION_ACCESS'\n\n    # Only if you use locale_switcher: storage\n    sylius_shop.locale_switcher:\n        class: App\\Locale\\StorageBasedLocaleSwitcher\n        public: false\n        arguments:\n            $localeStorage: '@sylius.storage.locale'\n            $channelContext: '@sylius.context.channel'\n            $router: '@router'\n```\n\n#### Step 5 - Clear cache\n\n```bash\nbin/console cache:clear\n```\n\n---\n\n#### Customizing the redirect target\n\nIf you need a different redirect target, override the route definition with the `_sylius.redirect` attribute:\n\n```yaml\n# config/routes/sylius_shop.yaml (AFTER the sylius_shop resource import)\nsylius_shop_switch_currency:\n    path: /{_locale}/switch-currency/{code}\n    methods: [GET]\n    defaults:\n        _controller: sylius.controller.shop.currency_switch:switchAction\n        _sylius:\n            redirect: sylius_shop_product_index  # or any route name\n```\n\n### Reporters\n\nWe would like to extend our gratitude to the following individuals for their detailed reporting and responsible disclosure of this vulnerability:\n- Bartłomiej Nowiński (@bnBart)\n\n### For more information\n\nIf you have any questions or comments about this advisory:\n\n- Open an issue in [Sylius issues](https://github.com/Sylius/Sylius/issues?q=sort%3Aupdated-desc+is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen)\n- Email us at [security@sylius.com](mailto:security@sylius.com)",
