CVE-2024-34065:strapi: Open redirect in strapi admin auth redirect handling
A reconstruction of the flaw, and the evidence path Lachesis follows to make it visible.
With no family and no line seeded, the whole-taxonomy enumerator put its class-matched lead inside auth.js:441 (admin auth redirect handling) -- the sink CVE-2024-34065.
That is the shape of the failure. The rest of this case file follows the evidence behind it.

Independent re-detection
The experiment graph was built around the last-vulnerable release (v4.24.2), scoped to the strapi package's source subtree, so the vulnerable translation unit builds under the pass budget (build 31s, enrich 14281 nodes / 30605 edges), then enumerated BLIND over the whole constructor registry (no family hard-coded, no target line seeded). The census and candidate ids below are the enumerator's own verbatim output; prose in adjudication/trace is the advisory + fix reading, clearly separated from tool output.

The commands and outputs below come from this recorded Lachesis run.
What Lachesis reconstructed.
One historical repository. Four captured queries. A complete source-to-sink argument.
Lachesis follows the same evidence path through unfamiliar repositories.
Here is how the path becomes visible.
These are the recorded questions Lachesis asked of the historical vulnerable code, followed by the raw result and source location each query returned.
Captured runA real replay of Lachesis over the graph built for this case (build 31s under the pass cap, bounded memory). Every value below is verbatim captured tool output; the graph was released immediately after capture.
