Logged-in user redirection via unchecked return URL
Published Jan 30, 2023 · Updated Mar 28, 2025
Open redirect in miniOrange WordPress SAML SSO 12.0.0, 16.0.0, and 20.0.0 release lines lets remote attackers redirect logged-in users. The SSO login endpoint accepts a redirect parameter and sends the browser to its value without confirming that the destination is an internal site URL. A victim must already be authenticated and follow the crafted request; the resulting external redirect can support credential phishing but does not itself disclose or modify site data.
