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 redirection vulnerability in MOLGENIS EMX2 v11.14.0. This vulnerability allows an attacker to create a malicious URL using a manipulated redirection parameter, potentially leading users to phishing sites or other malicious destinations via “/%2f%2f<MALICIOUS_DOMAIN>”.

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 confidence

Open redirection vulnerability in MOLGENIS EMX2 v11.14.0 where attackers can craft malicious URLs using URL-encoded double forward slashes (%2f%2f) in a redirection parameter. This allows redirecting users to external attacker-controlled domains for phishing or malware delivery purposes.

MitigationImplement strict validation of all redirect parameters to ensure destinations are internal/local URLs only. Reject any redirect URLs containing protocol switches, external domains, or encoded traversal sequences like %2f%2f.

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. Identify MOLGENIS EMX2 installation
    Locate the MOLGENIS EMX2 application and determine its version by checking the application metadata, about page, or configuration files (such as application.properties, pom.xml, or the deployed WAR file name)
    Affected if The application is MOLGENIS EMX2 and the version is 11.14.0
  2. Verify the exact version number
    Compare the installed version against v11.14.0 specifically - check build artifacts, docker image tags, or the version displayed in the application's UI or startup logs
    Affected if The installed version is exactly 11.14.0
  3. Locate redirect functionality
    Identify if the application exposes any redirect or URL parameter endpoints (such as /redirect, /goto, /url, or similar parameters accepting full URLs) by reviewing application routes, proxy configurations, or web.xml
    Affected if A redirect parameter accepting user-controlled URLs is exposed and functional
  4. Test for open redirect vulnerability
    If a redirect parameter exists, craft a test request using URL-encoded double slashes (for example, parameter=%2f%2example.com) and observe whether the application allows redirection to an external domain
    Affected if The application accepts and follows redirects to external domains when %2f%2f is used in the redirect parameter

You are affected if running MOLGENIS EMX2 version 11.14.0 with an exposed redirect parameter that accepts URL-encoded traversal sequences and permits external domain redirection.
