Important

Review skipped

Auto incremental reviews are disabled on this repository.

Please check the settings in the CodeRabbit UI or the .coderabbit.yaml file in this repository. To trigger a single review, invoke the @coderabbitai review command.

You can disable this status message by setting the reviews.review_status to false in the CodeRabbit configuration file.

Walkthrough

A validation block was added to the socialSignInCallback method in WebInteropApp.ts to ensure the urlToOpen parameter is a safe, same-origin HTTP(S) URL before proceeding with redirection. If validation fails, an error is logged and the method exits early, mitigating potential security issues.

Mitigate XSS issue in WebInteropApp by validating redirection URLs (#11201)

Poem

A bunny checks the URLs twice,
To stop bad hops and keep things nice.
If origins stray or schemes are wrong,
The code just logs and hops along.
