Strategic Overview

Vulnerability Overview

The WPtouch plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Open Redirect in versions before 1.9.30. This is due to insufficient input sanitization via the 'wptouch_redirect' parameter. This makes it possible for attackers to construct a URL which causes a redirection to an arbitrary external domain.

Technical Analysis

REMEDIATION: Update to version 1.9.30, 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.
