Phishing redirects via unchecked external URLs
Published Feb 11, 2022 · Updated Aug 2, 2024
Open redirect in Microweber before 1.2.11 allows remote attackers to send users to attacker-controlled sites via crafted links. The vulnerable redirect() flow accepts an external URL without checking whether it belongs to the site's domain; the patch removes PageController's show route. No authentication is required, but a victim must follow the crafted link; the redirect can support phishing on an attacker-controlled site.
