CVE-2024-2372

MediumCVSS 5.4
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

The affected components accept user-supplied input for constructing redirection URLs without enforcing expected validation constraints. This allows an attacker to provide a crafted URL that redirects users to an arbitrary external domain. By leveraging this open redirection vulnerability, an attacker can craft a malicious link that redirects users to an attacker-controlled page.

Risk Assessment

The open redirect can be used with social engineering to conduct phishing attacks aimed at obtaining sensitive information or causing other harm. It undermines trust in the organization's domain.

Recommendation

Apply the vendor fix enforcing validation of redirection target URLs, e.g., by restricting to allowed domains or relative paths. Regularly test redirection mechanisms for open redirect issues.
