Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
Open Redirect in Harbor  <=v2.8.4, <=v2.9.2, and <=v2.10.0 may redirect a user to a malicious site.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · moderate confidence

Open redirect vulnerability in Harbor container registry allows attackers to craft malicious URLs that redirect users to external phishing or malware sites. This occurs due to improper validation of redirect parameters in the web interface, enabling credential theft or malicious content delivery.

MitigationUpgrade Harbor to versions newer than v2.8.4, v2.9.2, and v2.10.0 to obtain the security patch. If immediate upgrade is not possible, implement URL validation at any proxy or WAF layer to reject external redirect destinations.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify installed Harbor version
    Run `harbor -v` or check the Harbor Helm chart/operator version, or inspect the container image tag
    Affected if version is 2.8.0-2.8.4, 2.9.0-2.9.2, or exactly 2.10.0
  2. Verify Harbor web interface is accessible
    Confirm Harbor UI is exposed by checking the service/ingress configuration with `kubectl get ingress` or `kubectl get svc` if Harbor is kubernetes-deployed
    Affected if the web interface is externally accessible or exposed to untrusted networks
  3. Check for proxy or WAF URL validation rules
    Inspect your reverse proxy (nginx, traefik) or WAF configuration for any redirect destination validation rules that block external URLs
    Affected if no URL validation exists at the proxy layer and Harbor is vulnerable based on version

A user is affected if their Harbor installation version falls within the vulnerable range and the web interface is accessible, without compensating URL validation controls at a proxy or WAF layer.

Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.

Check your environment

Paste your version and any relevant configuration and it will be compared against the affected criteria above. Do not include secrets or credentials.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.

Upgrade available Upgrade to 2.8.5 / 2.9.3 or later
Fixed in 2.8.52.9.3
Interim mitigation

Upgrade Harbor to versions newer than v2.8.4, v2.9.2, and v2.10.0 to obtain the security patch. If immediate upgrade is not possible, implement URL validation at any proxy or WAF layer to reject external redirect destinations.

Recommended fix High confidence

Upgrade to Harbor 2.8.5+, 2.9.3+, or 2.10.1+ (latest stable release recommended)

  1. Identify your current Harbor version using `harbor --version` or checking the Harbor UI footer
  2. Determine which version branch you are on (2.8.x, 2.9.x, or 2.10.0)
  3. Stop the Harbor instance using `docker-compose down` or `kubectl` commands depending on your deployment
  4. Backup your Harbor data and configuration directory (typically `/harbor` or your persistent volume)
  5. For Docker Compose deployment: Update the `harbor/values.yaml` or `docker-compose.yml` to use the target version
  6. For Helm deployment: Run `helm upgrade` with the new chart version or update the image tag to the fixed version
  7. If on 2.8.x branch: Upgrade to version 2.8.5 or later
  8. If on 2.9.x branch: Upgrade to version 2.9.3 or later
Caveat Review Harbor release notes for breaking changes between your current version and target version; major database migrations may be required for significant version jumps
