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 confidenceAn open redirect vulnerability in Pexle Chris Library Viewer versions up to 2.0.6 allows attackers to craft malicious URLs that redirect users to arbitrary external sites by manipulating the application's redirect parameters. This can be exploited for phishing attacks or to bypass trust boundaries.

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.
-
Identify installed version of Pexlechris Library ViewerCheck the application's version number in its 'About' section, configuration files, or the application metadata (e.g., manifest, package info). Look for a version field or build number.Affected if The installed version is 2.0.6 or earlier, or any version below 2.0.6.1.
-
Locate the application's redirect functionalitySearch the application configuration or code for redirect-related parameters (e.g., 'redirect', 'url', 'next', 'return', 'destination'). Check if URL redirection endpoints exist.Affected if Redirect functionality with user-controllable parameters is present and accessible.
-
Test redirect parameter for arbitrary URL acceptanceIf redirect parameters are found, construct a test URL with an external domain (e.g., '?redirect=https://example.com') and observe if the application allows navigation to the arbitrary URL without validation.Affected if The redirect parameter accepts and follows arbitrary URLs without allowlist validation or indirect reference mapping.
-
Check for URL validation implementationInspect the application's redirect handling code or configuration for any allowlist logic, domain validation, or indirect reference mapping that restricts allowed redirect targets.Affected if No allowlist-based validation, domain filtering, or indirect reference system is implemented for redirect parameters.
You are affected if your Pexlechris Library Viewer version is below 2.0.6.1 AND the application exposes redirect functionality that accepts arbitrary URLs without strict validation.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
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.
dbcve · scoped2.0.6.1
Implement strict allowlist-based URL validation for redirect parameters, or replace direct URL input with indirect references (e.g., validated URL mappings) to prevent arbitrary redirection.
2.0.6.1
- Upgrade Library Viewer to version 2.0.6.1 or later to resolve the open redirect vulnerability
Generated from the published advisory — verify against the referenced sources before acting.
