* Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2012-103 * Project: Global Redirect [1] (third-party module) * Version: 6.x, 7.x * Date: 2012-June-13 * Security risk: Less critical [2] * Exploitable from: Remote * Vulnerability: Open Redirect
-------- DESCRIPTION ---------------------------------------------------------
This module improves SEO and usability of a site by redirecting visitors to user-friendly and search-engine-friendly URLs.
The module does not sufficiently validate that a destination URL is internal to the site, allowing an attacker to disguise a malicious destination address as a query parameter passed to a legitimate site URL.
This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that a site must have the "non-clean to clean" redirect enabled; however, this is the default configuration.
CVE: Requested
