Vulnerability Overview

The Pie Register plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Open Redirect via the 'redirect_to' parameter in versions up to, and including, 3.8.2.2 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to redirect users to an external site, if they can successfully trick a user into performing an action such as clicking on a link.

Technical Analysis

REMEDIATION: Update to version 3.8.2.3, 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.
