CVE-2026-66414

Leantime Open Redirect in Login Controller via redirectUrl Parameter

Published Jul 30, 2026 CVSS 4.0 · 5.1 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
Leantime 3.6.2 contains an open redirect vulnerability in the Login controller that allows unauthenticated attackers to redirect authenticated users to arbitrary external sites by manipulating the redirectUrl POST parameter. Attackers can craft a malicious login URL with a tampered redirectUrl value that bypasses FILTER_SANITIZE_URL validation to redirect victims to attacker-controlled sites for phishing or credential theft.

Analysis

AI-generated

Technical impact

The vulnerability allows an unauthenticated attacker to influence the redirectUrl POST parameter in the login flow. By tampering with this value the attacker can cause authenticated users to be automatically redirected to an arbitrary external site after login. This can be used to harvest credentials or deliver phishing content. The weakness is a classic open redirect (CWE-601).

Affected Systems

Leantime version 3.6.2 and earlier are affected. The redirectUrl parameter is processed by the Login controller in this release of the web application.

Risk and Exploitability

The EPSS value is 0.00197 (<1%), indicating a very low exploitation probability. The CVSS score of 5.1 indicates a moderate risk. Because the flaw is an open redirect, exploitation does not require privileged access or a local vulnerability; it can be triggered simply by supplying a crafted login URL. The vulnerability can be trivially exercised by any attacker in control of a link. The issue is not yet listed in the CISA KEV catalog, so no known widespread exploitation is reported at this time.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Leantime to the latest released version that includes the fix for the redirectUrl parameter or manually apply the patch committed in pull request 3658 from the official repository.
  • If an upgrade is not immediately possible, disable or restrict the redirectUrl POST parameter; configure the application to whitelist only trusted domains or remove the redirect capability entirely from the login flow.
  • Monitor authentication logs for anomalous redirect patterns and verify that no unexpected external URLs are being served to users after login.
