- # Impact :
- ***********
- Irish News TheJournal accepts a user-controlled input that specifies
- a link to an external site, and uses that link in a Redirect. This simplifies phishing
- attacks. An http parameter may contain a URL value and could cause the web
- application to redirect the request to the specified URL. By modifying the URL
- value to a malicious site, an attacker may successfully launch a phishing scam and
- steal user credentials. Because the server name in the modified link is identical to the
- original site, phishing attempts have a more trustworthy appearance. Open redirect is a
- failure in that process that makes it possible for attackers to steer users to malicious
- websites. This vulnerability is used in phishing attacks to get users to visit malicious
- sites without realizing it. Web users often encounter redirection when they visit the
- Web site of a company whose name has been changed or which has been acquired by
- another company. Visiting unreal web page user's computer becomes affected
- by malware the task of which is to deceive the valid actor and steal his personal data.
