CVE-2023-50297Network attack vector

User redirection via crafted profile-edit URL

Published Dec 26, 2023 · Updated Nov 27, 2024

Open redirect in PowerCMS 4.54 and earlier, 5.24 and earlier, and 6.31 and earlier allows remote attackers to redirect users via a crafted URL. The members-site profile editor accepts an attacker-controlled destination from the request and redirects the browser to that untrusted site. Exploitation requires a user to open the crafted URL, after which the browser leaves the trusted site for an attacker-chosen destination.
