User redirection via unvalidated redirect_to parameter
Published Dec 19, 2023 · Updated Apr 28, 2026
Open redirect in Swapnil V. Patil Login and Logout Redirect 2.0.3 and earlier allows remote attackers to redirect users to malicious sites. The plugin accepts the redirect_to request parameter as a destination without sufficient validation, permitting an external URL to control the redirect. Exploitation requires an unauthenticated attacker to induce a user action; the redirect can send the user from a trusted WordPress site to attacker-chosen content.
