Vulnerability Overview
The WP Content Copy Protection & No Right Click (PRO) plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Open Redirect in all versions up to, and including, 15.0. This is due to insufficient validation on the redirect url supplied. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to redirect users to potentially malicious sites if they can successfully trick them into performing an action.
Technical Analysis
The vector marks this flaw as remotely reachable over the network, with low attack complexity — no special timing or configuration is needed, and no privileges on the target site.
CWE-601: URL Redirection to Untrusted Site ('Open Redirect')
Reaching this weakness in WP Content Copy Protection & No Right Click (PRO) <= 15.0 takes a caller who can reach the endpoint. An open redirect is a page that takes a destination from the request and sends the browser there without checking that the destination belongs to the site.
A link that starts on a trusted domain finishes on an attacker's, which is what makes phishing and consent-screen abuse credible to the person clicking it. For WP Content Copy Protection & No Right Click (PRO) the fix is 15.3: builds <= 15.0 are affected, anything from 15.3 onward is not.
Remediation
Update to version 15.3, or a newer patched version
