  "summary" : "Gitea: Open Redirect via redirect_to",
  "details" : "### Details\n\nDespite the validation within `urlIsRelative` in `modules/httplib/url.go`, an open redirect is still possible due to usage of directory traversal sequences plus a back-slash in the \"redirect_to\" parameter.\n\n### PoC\n\nWhen a user uses this URL to login:\n\n`https://gitea.com/user/login?redirect_to=/a/../\\example.com`\n\nThey would be redirected to `example.com` upon a successful login to their gitea account.\n\n### Impact\n\n* Phishing: Attackers can use trusted domain links to redirect victims to credential-harvesting pages\n* OAuth/SSO Token Theft: In authentication flows, authorization codes or tokens may leak via redirect\n* Referer Leakage: Sensitive URL parameters may be exposed to attacker domains via the Referer header\n* Cache Poisoning: In deployments with shared caches, malicious redirects may be cached and served to other users",
