az login redirects to localhost instead of authenticating

When using CLI to login:
az login
the browser opens this page https://login.microsoftonline.com/organizations/oauth2/v2.0/authorize?client_id=clientID&response_type=code&redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%3A55322&scope=https%3A%2F%2Fmanagement.core.windows.net%2F%2F.default+offline_access+openid+profile&state=state&code_challenge=codeChallenge&code_challenge_method=method&nonce=nonce&client_info=1&prompt=select_account

which then redirects me to http://localhost:55322

Expected behavior is to authenticate, and have the CLI available for further use.

This was working yesterday. Was there some kind of update that could have caused this behavior?

The login via device code with
az login --use-device-code
still works.

    This continues to happen, since last Friday. azure-cli 2.47.0 core 2.47.0 telemetry 1.0.8 Dependencies: msal 1.20.0 azure-mgmt-resource 22.0.0 This could be because the CLI runs from within WSL 2, but it was working a week ago. az login still works from Powershell.
