CVE-2025-44109
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 · uneditedA URL redirection in Pinokio v3.6.23 allows attackers to redirect victim users to attacker-controlled pages.
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 confidencePinokio v3.6.23 contains an open redirect vulnerability where the application does not properly validate URL redirection targets, allowing attackers to craft malicious links that redirect users to attacker-controlled external websites via the vulnerable redirect mechanism.

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.
-
Verify Pinokio versionIdentify the installed Pinokio version by checking the application package.json, version metadata, or running the package manager command (pip show pinokio, npm list pinokio, or equivalent for your installation method)Affected if Running Pinokio version 3.6.23 specifically
-
Locate redirect functionalitySearch the codebase for redirect-related code paths: look for functions handling 'redirect', 'url', 'next', 'dest', 'target', or 'return_url' parameters in route handlers, controllers, and authentication flowsAffected if Application contains redirect logic that accepts user-supplied URL parameters
-
Inspect redirect validationReview the redirect handling code to determine if it validates redirect targets. Check for allowlist logic, domain validation, or path validation before performing the redirectAffected if Redirect logic performs no validation or only basic checks before redirecting users
-
Test redirect behavior (if authorized)If authorized testing is permitted, construct a test URL with a redirect parameter pointing to an external domain (e.g., ?redirect=https://example.com) and observe whether the application follows the external redirectAffected if Application redirects to arbitrary external URLs without restricting to internal paths or an allowlist
Environment is affected if running Pinokio v3.6.23 and the application contains redirect endpoints that accept user-controlled URL parameters without validating them against an allowlist or restricting to relative/internal paths.

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.
From vendor dataImplement strict validation of redirect URLs using an allowlist of permitted domains or paths, or replace user-supplied absolute URLs with validated relative redirects.
