CVE-2007-6692
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedOpen redirect vulnerability in Menalto Gallery before 2.2.4 allows remote attackers to redirect users to arbitrary web sites and conduct phishing attacks via a URL in the (1) Core and (2) print modules.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceOpen redirect vulnerability in Menalto Gallery versions prior to 2.2.4 allows remote attackers to redirect users to arbitrary external websites via a URL parameter in the Core and print modules. This occurs because the application does not properly validate or restrict redirect destinations, enabling phishing attacks where users believe they remain on the legitimate site.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Confirm Menalto Gallery installationLocate the Gallery installation directory and check for the version file or access the admin panel to view the version numberAffected if Gallery is installed and version is 2.2.3 or lower
-
Verify affected module statusAccess the Gallery admin panel and navigate to the Modules section to list enabled modulesAffected if Core module or print module is enabled (these are enabled by default in most installations)
-
Identify vulnerable redirect parameterExamine the codebase for the redirect URL parameter handling in Core and print modules, typically in files like redirect.php or functions handling return URLsAffected if The application accepts a redirect parameter without validating that the destination is on the same domain
-
Test redirect behaviorCraft a URL with an external redirect target (e.g., adding a return parameter pointing to http://example.com) and observe if the application redirects to that external siteAffected if The application redirects to external domains without warning or confirmation
You are affected if Gallery version is 2.2.3 or earlier AND either the Core or print module is enabled, with the application allowing unvalidated external redirect URLs.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataUpgrade to Gallery 2.2.4 or later. If upgrading is not immediately feasible, implement input validation to restrict redirect URLs to same-domain destinations only, rejecting any URL containing external domains or suspicious patterns.
