Published Dec 9, 2024 · Updated Apr 28, 2026
Open redirect in aviplugins.com Login Widget With Shortcode 6.1.2 and earlier allows remote attackers to send users to phishing sites. The login form's documented redirect_to parameter supplies the post-login destination without validation that restricts external URLs, although the exact handler is undisclosed. Exploitation requires a victim to interact with a crafted request and complete the affected redirect flow; reported impact is limited to off-site redirection and phishing.
