Summary
When a user submits a POST request to an endpoint protected by
RequireElevatedSessionwithout an elevated session, they're redirected to the password confirmation page. After confirming,redirect()->intended()sends them back to the original URL as a GET, which typically results in 405 Method Not Allowed (or lands on an unrelated GET handler).The cause:
ElevatedSessionAuthorizationExceptionwas callingsetIntendedUrl($request->fullUrl())— for a POST, that's the POST-only endpoint.This change uses the
Refererheader as the intended URL for non-GET requests, so the user lands back on the form page and can resubmit. External referers are rejected viaURL::isExternalToApplication, and if the referer is missing/external we fall back tofullUrl(). GET behavior is unchanged.Noticed in the 2FA flow (
POST /!/auth/two-factor/enable) but the fix is general and benefits any POST endpoint behindRequireElevatedSession.Test plan
