Discussion

Microsoft Exchange Server CVE-2017-8621 Open Redirection Vulnerability

Microsoft .NET Framework is prone to an open-redirection vulnerability because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input.

An attacker can leverage this issue by constructing a crafted URI and enticing a user to follow it. When an unsuspecting victim follows the link, they may be redirected to an attacker-controlled site; this may aid in phishing attacks. Other attacks are possible.
