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
An issue pertaining to CWE-601: URL Redirection to Untrusted Site was discovered in Sunbird-Ed SunbirdEd-portal v1.13.4.

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

An open redirect vulnerability (CWE-601) exists in SunbirdEd-portal v1.13.4 where the application allows unsanitized user-controlled input to determine the redirect target URL, enabling attackers to craft malicious links that redirect users to external untrusted sites.

MitigationImplement strict URL validation and allowlist-based redirect logic to ensure all redirect targets point only to trusted, internal domains; reject or sanitize any redirect parameters containing external URLs.

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 SunbirdEd-portal version
    Locate the version file or package.json in the SunbirdEd-portal installation directory, or check the application admin interface for the installed version number
    Affected if The installed version is exactly 1.13.4
  2. Identify redirect parameter usage
    Review application logs or HTTP traffic to identify if URL redirect parameters such as 'redirect', 'returnUrl', 'url', or 'dest' are being processed by the application
    Affected if The application accepts and processes redirect parameters in URLs without validation
  3. Test redirect behavior
    Send a crafted request with an external domain in a redirect parameter (e.g., ?redirect=http://malicious.com) to a known SunbirdEd-portal endpoint and observe the Location header in the response
    Affected if The application redirects to the external URL provided in the parameter without sanitization or allowlist validation

The environment is affected if SunbirdEd-portal version 1.13.4 is installed and the application processes redirect parameters that allow external URLs without validation.
