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.

How this class of weakness works · CWE-601

The application redirects the browser to a URL taken from user input without validating it, so an attacker can craft a link on your trusted domain that quietly bounces victims to a malicious site. It is a staple of phishing and token theft. The fix is to allow-list redirect destinations or use indirect reference keys, never a raw user-supplied URL.
