Technical details

A DOM-based XSS vulnerability in the redirect route allows attackers to bypass the platform's built-in URL validation controls. The application extracts an unsanitized destination from the 'next' query parameter and directly assigns it to location.href without validating the URI scheme, enabling injection of javascript: or data: URIs. Exploitation requires the authenticated victim to click a crafted link, resulting in arbitrary JavaScript execution in their session context.
