CVE-2012-5338

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions JForum version 2.1.9

Description A security issue allows remote attackers to redirect users to arbitrary web sites, potentially leading to phishing attacks. This is achieved by manipulating a URL in the returnPath parameter within a validateLogin action to jforum.page.

Recommendations For JForum version 2.1.9, as a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the validateLogin action or validating the returnPath parameter to prevent redirects to unauthorized sites.
