How to Fix GHSA-564j-v29w-rqr6

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Khoj assistant dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

khoj-assistant fixed: 1.14.0 
pip install khoj-assistant>=1.14.0
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

pip show khoj-assistant

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Python environment is affected by GHSA-564j-v29w-rqr6, inspect your installed packages using pip:

pip show khoj-assistant

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Khoj assistant in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 1.14.0), your application is affected.

Note: The pip show khoj-assistant command checks currently installed packages in your active Python environment.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-601: URL Redirection to Untrusted Site ('Open Redirect'), where the web application accepts a user-controlled input that specifies a link to an external site, and uses that link in a redirect. In Khoj assistant, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

### Summary An attacker can use the `next` parameter on the login page to redirect a victim to a malicious page, while masking this using a legit-looking `app.khoj.dev` url. For example, `https://app.khoj.dev/login?next=//example.com` will redirect to the https://example.com page. ### Details The problem seems to be in this method: https://github.com/khoj-ai/khoj/blob/2667ef45449eb408ce1d7c393be04845be31e15f/src/khoj/routers/auth.py#L95 ### PoC Open the `https://app.khoj.dev/login?next=//example.com` url in a Gecko-based browser (Firefox). ### Impact The impact is low, and this could only be used in phishing attempts, but it's still a problem nonetheless.
