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 · unedited
Open Redirect vulnerability in FireEye HXTool affecting version 4.6, the exploitation of which could allow an attacker to redirect a legitimate user to a malicious page by changing the 'redirect_uri' parameter.

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 · moderate confidence

FireEye HXTool version 4.6 contains an open redirect vulnerability in its authentication or navigation functionality. Attackers can manipulate the 'redirect_uri' parameter to redirect authenticated users to arbitrary external websites, potentially enabling phishing attacks or credential theft against legitimate users.

MitigationImplement strict allowlist validation for the redirect_uri parameter, ensuring only pre-approved URLs are permitted. Apply the vendor-supplied patch for version 4.6 when available, or upgrade to a patched version.

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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Confirm FireEye HXTool is installed
    Locate the HXTool application in your environment - check for the installation directory, service, or associated processes running the HXTool software
    Affected if FireEye HXTool software is present on the system
  2. Identify the installed version
    Use the application's built-in version check feature, examine the application binary metadata, or consult the software inventory/management system for the installed version number
    Affected if The installed version is exactly 4.6
  3. Verify the authentication interface is accessible
    Access the HXTool login or authentication portal typically served over HTTP/HTTPS on the configured port
    Affected if The authentication interface is reachable and functional
  4. Check for the redirect_uri parameter
    Inspect the login page's form submissions or URL parameters to identify if a redirect_uri or similar redirection parameter is present in the authentication flow
    Affected if A redirect_uri parameter exists in the authentication mechanism

You are affected if FireEye HXTool version 4.6 is installed and its authentication interface with the redirect_uri parameter is accessible.
