CWE-ID: CWE-601 - URL Redirection to Untrusted Site ('Open Redirect')

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to redirect victims to arbitrary URL.

The vulnerability exists due to improper sanitization of user-supplied data in the Countries Management’s edit region page within the "_com_liferay_address_web_internal_portlet_CountriesManagementAdminPortlet_redirect" parameter. A remote attacker can create a link that leads to a trusted website, however, when clicked, redirects the victim to arbitrary domain.
