Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires the victim to click a crafted link (CVSS UI:A - active user interaction is mandatory and is the primary limiting factor). The application must process the X-Forwarded-Host HTTP header when generating redirect responses without enforcing a hostname allowlist; this is the specific vulnerable behavior. No authentication or account privileges are required of the attacker (PR:N). Exploitation is not limited to any specific deployment configuration - the vulnerability is in default header-processing behavior. What limits exploitation: the attacker cannot exploit this passively or via automated scanning; a social engineering step is required to deliver the crafted link to a victim. Additionally, the impact is indirect - the attacker gains no immediate access to the password manager's data; actual credential theft depends on the victim being deceived by the phishing page after redirection.

Impact

The CVSS 4.0 score of 5.1 (Medium) reflects a network-reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated attack path (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N) gated on user interaction (UI:A). The limited impact ratings (VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:L/SI:L/SA:N) are consistent with open redirect's indirect harm model: no direct data exfiltration or system compromise occurs through the vulnerability itself. However, CVSS scores for open redirect vulnerabilities routinely understate real-world risk when the target is a credential management application - a successful phishing redirect can yield master password theft with catastrophic downstream consequences. No EPSS score was provided in the source data, and neither CISA KEV listing nor public exploit code was identified, suggesting this has not yet attracted broad opportunistic exploitation. The actual priority should be elevated by defenders above raw CVSS for any password manager deployment exposed to end users via email or web links.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker composes a phishing email or message containing a legitimate-looking link to the target Password Manager instance, but with a forged X-Forwarded-Host header value embedded or triggered via a crafted intermediary request pointing to an attacker-controlled domain. When the victim clicks the link and the application processes the forged header to construct a redirect, the victim is silently sent to a convincing replica of the password manager login page hosted by the attacker, where they may enter their master password or MFA token. No public exploit code is known at time of analysis, but the technique is well-understood and trivially implemented given the open redirect class.

AnalysisAIv1 – Jun 17, 2026

Open redirection in Password Manager exposes users to phishing attacks by failing to validate the X-Forwarded-Host HTTP header before using it to construct redirect URLs. Unauthenticated remote attackers can craft malicious links that, when clicked by a victim, silently redirect them to an attacker-controlled domain - a particularly dangerous vector given that the target application manages credentials. Reported by INCIBE, a vendor patch is available; no active exploitation (CISA KEV) or public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis.

RemediationAI

Apply the vendor-released patch referenced in the INCIBE advisory at https://www.incibe.es/en/incibe-cert/notices/aviso/multiple-vulnerabilities-password-manager. An exact patched version number is not independently confirmed from available data, so administrators should consult the advisory directly to identify the target upgrade version. As an immediate compensating control prior to patching, configure any upstream reverse proxy or load balancer to strip or enforce an allowlist on the X-Forwarded-Host header before requests reach the application, ensuring only the legitimate server hostname is passed through - this removes the attacker's ability to inject a forged value. Alternatively, a WAF rule rejecting requests whose X-Forwarded-Host value does not match a configured allowlist of trusted hostnames will block exploitation. Note that stripping this header entirely may break intended proxy-aware functionality if the application relies on it for correct host resolution; test in a staging environment before deploying broadly.

Technical ContextAI · show details

CWE-601 (URL Redirection to Untrusted Site) describes the root cause: the application reflects the HTTP X-Forwarded-Host header - intended for use by reverse proxies to preserve the originating Host value - into redirect responses without sufficient input validation. When an attacker forges this header in a request, the application constructs a redirect destination using the attacker-supplied value rather than the legitimate server hostname. The affected product is identified by CPE cpe:2.3:a:password_manager:password_manager:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* across all recorded versions, indicating the flaw is not restricted to a specific release. The context of a password manager amplifies the phishing risk: victims redirected to a lookalike domain may be deceived into submitting master credentials or authentication tokens.

DescriptionCVE.org

Open redirection vulnerability due to insufficient validation of the X-Forwarded-Host HTTP header. An attacker could create manipulated links that, when opened by a victim, cause the victim to be redirected to domains controlled by the attacker, enabling phishing or deception attacks with limited impact on confidentiality and integrity.
