CVE-2023-22797: URL Redirection to Untrusted Site ('Open Redirect')

February 9, 2023 (updated February 21, 2023)

An open redirect vulnerability is fixed in Rails 7.0.4.1 with the new protection against open redirects from calling redirect_to with untrusted user input. In prior versions the developer was fully responsible for only providing trusted input. However the check introduced could allow an attacker to bypass with a carefully crafted URL resulting in an open redirect vulnerability.
