pip install Products.CMFPlone>=4.3.17
pip install Products.CMFPlone>=5.0.10
pip install Products.CMFPlone>=5.1.0
pip install Plone>=4.3.16
pip install Plone>=5.1.0
Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release:
pip show Products.CMFPlone
How to Check if You Are Affected
To determine whether your Python environment is affected by CVE-2017-1000481, inspect your installed packages using pip:
pip show Products.CMFPlone
Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Products.CMFPlone in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 4.3.17), your application is affected.
Note: The pip show Products.CMFPlone command checks currently installed packages in your active Python environment.

"details" : "When you visit a page where you need to login, Plone 2.5-5.1rc1 sends you to the login form with a 'came_from' parameter set to the previous url. After you login, you get redirected to the page you tried to view before. An attacker might try to abuse this by letting you click on a specially crafted link. You would login, and get redirected to the site of the attacker, letting you think that you are still on the original Plone site. Or some javascript of the attacker could be executed. Most of these types of attacks are already blocked by Plone, using the `isURLInPortal` check to make sure we only redirect to a page on the same Plone site. But a few more ways of tricking Plone into accepting a malicious link were discovered, and fixed with this hotfix.",
