text exploit Source: Exploit-DB
phlyLabs phlyMail Lite 4.03.04 (go param) Open Redirect Vulnerability


Vendor: phlyLabs
Product web page: http://www.phlymail.com
Affected version: Lite 4.03.04

Summary: phlyMail offers you an interface in the browser to have access
to your emails, contacts, appointments, tasks, files and bookmakrs from
anyhwere, where you have internet access. This can be your home, workplace,
train station, abroad, offroad, in the woods or your own backyard.

Desc: Input passed via the 'go' parameter in 'derefer.php' script is not
properly verified before being used to redirect users. This can be exploited
to redirect a user to an arbitrary website e.g. when a user clicks a specially
crafted link to the affected script hosted on a trusted domain.
