Ecosystem-wide dependent count for version 1.5.0-beta.0.
DescriptionNVD
Saltcorn is an extensible, open source, no-code database application builder. Prior to versions 1.4.6, 1.5.6, and 1.6.0-beta.5, Saltcorn validates the post-login dest parameter with a string check that only blocks :/ and //. Because all WHATWG-compliant browsers normalise backslashes (\) to forward slashes (/) for special schemes, a payload such as /\evil.com/path slips through is_relative_url(), is emitted unchanged in the HTTP Location header, and causes the browser to navigate cross-origin to an attacker-controlled domain. The bug is reachable on a default install and only requires a victim who can be tricked into logging in via a crafted Saltcorn URL. This issue has been patched in versions 1.4.6, 1.5.6, and 1.6.0-beta.5.
AnalysisAI
Open redirect in Saltcorn's post-login destination parameter validation allows attackers to redirect authenticated users to attacker-controlled domains via backslash bypass. Versions prior to 1.4.6, 1.5.6, and 1.6.0-beta.5 are vulnerable because the is_relative_url() function only blocks ':/' and '//' but fails to account for WHATWG URL parsing, which normalizes backslashes to forward slashes in special schemes. …
