Frequently Asked Questions

1

Which deployments are affected?

Self-hosted Medplum deployments running versions 4.1.10 through 5.1.6 are affected when they have preconfigured OAuth clients defined through the defaultOAuthClients server configuration.

2

What does an attacker need to obtain a client secret?

An attacker can use the /oauth2/register endpoint and provide a redirect_uri matching a preconfigured OAuth client. No privileges or user interaction are indicated by the provided severity vector.

3

How can I determine whether my deployment may have exposed secrets?

Check whether the deployment ran an affected version and used defaultOAuthClients to define preconfigured OAuth clients. Review requests to /oauth2/register for registrations supplying redirect_uri values that match those clients.

4

What should I do if a vulnerable deployment was used?

Upgrade to Medplum version 5.1.7. Treat secrets for affected preconfigured OAuth clients as potentially disclosed and replace them.
