CVE-2021-23401: Open Redirect in Flask-User
(updated )
This affects all versions of package Flask-User. When using the make_safe_url function, it is possible to bypass URL validation and redirect a user to an arbitrary URL by providing multiple backslashes such as /////evil.com/path or \\\evil.com/path. This vulnerability is only exploitable if an alternative WSGI server other than Werkzeug is used, or the default behaviour of Werkzeug is modified using autocorrect_location_header=False.
