Published Apr 6, 2022 · Updated Aug 3, 2024

Open redirect in OrangeHRM 4.10 allows remote authenticated users to redirect a browser to an attacker-chosen site via a Referer header. The attachment-upload handler uses the unvalidated Referer value as the origin of the post-upload Location URL, producing a 302 response to the supplied domain. Exploitation requires a valid login and an attachment upload; the demonstrated consequence is redirection of the requesting browser.
