DescriptionCVE.org

Joomla Extension - joomshaper.com - Open Redirect via Base64 Return Parameter in Helix Ultimate < 2.2.10 - Return redirect parameters accepted arbitrary Base64 strings without verifying whether the resolved target was an internal site URL via Uri::isInternal.

AnalysisAI

Open redirect in Helix Ultimate (Joomla extension by joomshaper.com) versions prior to 2.2.10 allows unauthenticated network-accessible attackers to craft redirect URLs that bypass the site's origin validation. The return parameter accepts arbitrary Base64-encoded strings without invoking Joomla's Uri::isInternal() check, meaning the decoded destination is never validated as belonging to the host site. …
