Open redirect in HCL Leap before 9.3 allows remote authenticated users to send users to malicious sites through the manager page. The Feedback action redirects the browser to an untrusted destination; HCL has not disclosed the responsible parameter or validation failure. Exploitation requires a low-privileged account and user interaction, enabling deceptive navigation without a reported direct server-side availability impact.
