Description
An Open Redirect vulnerability exists in the public form submission endpoint (/form/submit) of Mautic. After a form is submitted, the application redirects the visitor to a return address supplied with the submission without verifying that it points to the Mautic instance or another trusted host. An unauthenticated attacker can exploit this to send visitors from a legitimate Mautic domain to an arbitrary external website, for example to phishing pages that imitate the original landing page or to sites that deliver malware. Any Mautic instance with a published form is affected. Exploitation requires the victim to submit a form prepared by the attacker.

Impact

An Open Redirect flaw exists in the Mautic form submission endpoint. After a visitor submits a form, the application blindly follows a return URL supplied by the form data, without confirming that the URL points to the Mautic instance or another trusted host. An attacker controlling the form can point the redirect to a phishing page or malware site, enabling credential theft or malicious payload delivery. The core weakness is a lack of input validation on redirect destinations, classified as CWE-601.

Affected Systems

Any Mautic instance that has a published form exposed to the web is vulnerable. The vulnerability is present regardless of installation version; no specific version information is available, so all publicly available instances are considered at risk.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 5.4 indicates a moderate severity; exploitation requires only an unauthenticated victim to submit a form crafted by the attacker. The EPSS score is not available, but the vulnerability is listed as not in the CISA KEV catalog, suggesting it is not a widely known exploited flaw. Attackers could use the open redirect to carry out phishing campaigns or deliver malware to users who legitimately interact with the form.

Remediation

Vendor Workaround

There are no official workarounds. To mitigate this vulnerability without upgrading, configure a reverse proxy or web application firewall rule that blocks redirect responses from /form/submit to hosts other than your Mautic instance and your own websites.


OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Configure a reverse proxy or web application firewall rule that blocks redirect responses from /form/submit to hosts other than your Mautic instance and your own websites
  • Ensure that the Mautic application only accepts return URLs that match the instance's domain or a whitelisted set of trusted domains via configuration
  • Monitor logs for unexpected redirect responses and verify that no external hosts are being targeted
