Detailed vulnerability description
The vulnerability allows a remote user to redirect users to malicious sites.
The vulnerability exists due to url redirection to untrusted site in Helper::getRedirectOption() when processing a redirect based on an unvalidated HTTP Referer header stored in a session variable. A remote user can poison the session with a crafted back_url value to redirect users to malicious sites.
User interaction is required when the victim clicks the "Save" action, and practical exploitation requires session poisoning.
