Vulnerability Overview

The Encrypted Blog plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Open Redirect in versions up to, and including, 0.0.6.2 via the 'redirect_to' parameter in the 'encrypt_blog_form.php' file. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to potentially redirect other users to arbitrary websites where they can gather sensitive information.

Technical Analysis

REMEDIATION: Update to version 0.0.6.6, or a newer patched version --- IDENTIFIER: CWE-601 (URL Redirection to Untrusted Site ('Open Redirect')) The web application accepts a user-controlled input that specifies a link to an external site, and uses that link in a redirect.
