MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Initial Access The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires that a victim user click an attacker-crafted URL served from the FlexCity application, making user interaction (UI:R per CVSS) the primary limiting factor - passive or automated network-level exploitation is not possible. No attacker authentication is required (PR:N). The redirect functionality must be accessible via an HTTP/S endpoint in FlexCity, which the description implies is standard application behavior rather than a non-default feature. Affected versions are limited to 5.536.0 through 11052026; versions outside this range are not confirmed vulnerable. No indication of a required special configuration or deployment mode was found in the available data. |
| Impact | The CVSS 6.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N) indicates network-reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated attack requiring one user interaction (clicking a crafted link). The Changed scope elevates the score from what would otherwise be a lower-impact local issue. No EPSS score was provided in available data, so exploitation probability cannot be quantitatively assessed. No CISA KEV listing exists, and no public POC was identified, suggesting the vulnerability is not currently being exploited at scale. Real-world risk is moderate: open redirects are routinely weaponized in spear-phishing campaigns precisely because the initial URL bears a legitimate, trusted domain - lending credibility before the redirect occurs. The absence of an availability impact (A:N) and the limited C:L/I:L scope means this vulnerability does not enable direct system compromise, but its social-engineering utility is well-documented in threat actor toolkits. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker registers a convincing lookalike phishing domain (e.g., mimicking the organization's login portal) and crafts a FlexCity URL embedding the phishing site as the redirect target parameter. The URL is delivered via email or messaging using the trusted FlexCity domain as the visible link, increasing click-through likelihood; upon clicking, the user is silently forwarded to the attacker-controlled site where credentials are harvested. No public POC exists at time of analysis, but this attack pattern requires only a text editor and a hosting account - no specialized tooling. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jul 21, 2026
Open redirect in Universal Software Inc. FlexCity (versions 5.536.0 through 11052026) enables remote unauthenticated attackers to craft trusted-domain URLs that silently redirect victims to arbitrary external sites, facilitating phishing and credential harvesting. The CVSS 6.1 (Medium) vector carries S:C (Changed scope), confirming the impact escapes the application boundary to affect users on third-party systems. No public exploit code and no CISA KEV listing have been identified at time of analysis, reported by TR-CERT.
RemediationAI
Consult the TR-CERT advisory at https://siberguvenlik.gov.tr/guvenlik-bildirimleri/detay/tr-26-0593 and contact Universal Software Inc. directly for a patched release; no exact fixed version number was identified in available data, so 'Patch available per vendor advisory' is the most specific claim supportable. As a compensating control, implement server-side URL allowlisting on any redirect endpoint, rejecting destination parameters that do not match an approved list of internal domains - this directly neutralizes the CWE-601 root cause with no functional trade-off for legitimate use cases. Supplement with a redirect interstitial warning page that alerts users they are leaving the application, reducing the phishing effectiveness of any bypass. Web application firewall (WAF) rules blocking common open-redirect bypass patterns (protocol-relative URLs, CRLF injection, URL encoding tricks) can provide additional defense-in-depth but should not substitute for server-side fix.

Technical ContextAI · show details
CWE-601 (URL Redirection to Untrusted Site) describes a class of flaws where user-supplied input determines a redirect destination without adequate whitelist or allowlist enforcement on the server side. FlexCity (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:universal_software_inc.:flexcity:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*), a web application product by Universal Software Inc., fails to validate or restrict redirect target URLs, allowing external domains to be injected as redirect parameters. The CVSS metric S:C (Changed scope) is canonical for open redirect, reflecting that the trust boundary is crossed: the initial request hits FlexCity, but the security consequence (phishing landing page) is realized in a system outside the vulnerable component.
