Technical details

An open redirect vulnerability exists in SPIP's 'ecrire' administration interface within the action/cookie.php file. The root cause is the processing of the 'url_echec' request parameter, which was identified as legacy code that failed to properly validate redirection targets. An attacker with low privileges can provide a crafted URL that causes the application to redirect users to an arbitrary external domain. This vulnerability is fixed in version 4.4.15 by removing the unused and insecure 'url_echec' logic.
