CVE-2024-42341
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 · uneditedLoway - CWE-601: URL Redirection to Untrusted Site ('Open Redirect')
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 confidenceThis is an open redirect vulnerability (CWE-601) in a Loway product. The application accepts a user-controlled URL parameter and uses it to redirect the user without proper validation, allowing attackers to craft malicious URLs that redirect victims to untrusted external sites while appearing to originate from the vulnerable application.

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 Queuemetrics versionLocate the Queuemetrics version file or check the application header/admin interface for the version number. This is typically displayed on the login page or in the administration panel.Affected if The installed version is 22.11.6 or higher but lower than 24.05.5
-
Confirm application is QueuemetricsVerify the running application is indeed Loway Queuemetrics by checking the product name in the web interface or application files.Affected if The product is Loway Queuemetrics and the version falls within the affected range
-
Identify redirect-capable endpointsReview application logs or capture network traffic while navigating the application to identify any redirects occurring based on URL parameters.Affected if The application performs redirects using user-supplied URL parameters without proper validation
-
Test redirect parameter behaviorIf a redirect parameter is found, observe whether supplying an external URL (such as http://example.com) as the parameter value results in a redirect to that external site.Affected if The application redirects to arbitrary URLs provided in the request without validating they are internal or allowlisted
You are affected if running Queuemetrics version 22.11.6 or higher but lower than 24.05.5, and the application uses unsanitized URL parameters for redirect destinations.

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 · scoped24.05.5
Implement strict allowlist-based validation for redirect URLs, ensuring only trusted and relative paths are permitted. Alternatively, avoid using user-supplied input for redirect destinations entirely.
24.05.5
- Verify current Queuemetrics installation version using system administration interface or command line
- Review Queuemetrics upgrade documentation for your deployment method
- Create complete backup of Queuemetrics database and configuration files
- Schedule maintenance window as upgrade may require brief downtime
- Download Queuemetrics version 24.05.5 or later from official Loway distribution channels
- Execute upgrade procedure following Loway's upgrade instructions for your specific deployment
- After upgrade, verify the application starts successfully
- Test that the open redirect vulnerability is no longer exploitable by attempting URL manipulation
