Nhost is an open source Firebase alternative with GraphQL. Prior to 0.48.0, the auth service's OAuth provider callback flow places the refresh token directly into the redirect URL as a query parameter. Refresh tokens in URLs are logged in browser history, server access logs, HTTP Referer headers, and proxy/CDN logs. Note that the refresh token is one-time use and all of these leak vectors are on owned infrastructure or services integrated by the application developer. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.48.0.

GHSA-g2qj-prgh-4g9r — Nhost Leaks Refresh Tokens via URL Query Parameter in OAuth Provider Callback

Affected: Go: github.com/nhost/nhost

# Refresh Token Leaked via URL Query Parameter in OAuth Provider Callback

## Summary

The auth service's OAuth provider callback flow places the refresh token directly into the redirect URL as a query parameter. Refresh tokens in URLs are logged in browser history, server access logs, HTTP Referer headers, and proxy/CDN logs.

Note that the refresh token is one-time use and all of these leak vectors are on owned infrastructure or services integrated by the application developer.

## Affected Component

- **Repository**: `github.com/nhost/nhost` - **Service**: `services/auth` - **File**: `services/auth/go/controller/sign_in_provider_callback_get.go` - **Function**: `signinProviderProviderCallback` (lines 257-261)

## Root Cause

In `sign_in_provider_callback_get.go:257-261`, after successful OAuth sign-in, the refresh token is appended as a URL query parameter:

```go if session != nil { values := redirectTo.Query() values.Add("refreshToken", session.RefreshToken) redirectTo.RawQuery = values.Encode() } ```

This results in a redirect like: ``` HTTP/1.1 302 Found Location: https://myapp.com/callback?refreshToken=a1b2c3d4-e5f6-7890-abcd-ef1234567890 ```

## Proof of Concept

### Step 1: Initiate OAuth login ``` GET /signin/provider/github?redirectTo=https://myapp.com/callback ```

### Step 2: Complete OAuth flow with provider

### Step 3: Auth service redirects with token in URL ``` HTTP/1.1 302 Found Location: https://myapp.com/callback?refreshToken=a1b2c3d4-e5f6…
