Unauthenticated user redirection via unchecked Location header
Published Sep 7, 2024 · Updated Sep 9, 2024
Open redirect in SourceCodester Clinic's Patient Management System 2.0 allows remote attackers to redirect users via a crafted URL. The congratulations.php handler reads goto_page directly from the GET query and passes it to PHP's Location response header without validating the destination. No authentication is required to create the link, but a user must follow it; the redirect can lend the trusted application origin to phishing.
