Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- In OAuth2 Proxy from version 5.1.1 and less than version 6.0.0, users can provide a redirect address for
the proxy to send the authenticated user to at the end of the authentication flow. This is expected to be
the original URL that the user was trying to access. This redirect URL is checked within the proxy and
validated before redirecting the user to prevent malicious actors providing redirects to potentially
