id: gitea-open-redirect-bypass

info:
  name: Gitea < 1.21.0 - Open Redirect
  author: ritikchaddha
  severity: medium
  description: |
    Gitea before version 1.21.0 is affected by URL Redirection to Untrusted Site ('Open Redirect') via internal URLs. The vulnerability exists in the redirect_to parameter used on the login page (/user/login). Due to improper validation of the redirect URL, an attacker can craft a malicious link that redirects authenticated users to an arbitrary external website after login.
  impact: |
    An attacker can exploit this vulnerability to redirect users to malicious websites, leading to phishing attacks or the theft of sensitive information.
  remediation: |
    Upgrade Gitea to version 1.21.0 or later to fix the open redirect vulnerability.
