## Technical details

An open redirect and cache poisoning vulnerability exists in Drupal core's rebuild.php front controller. The script fails to properly validate the HTTP Host header against the configured list of trusted host patterns. A remote attacker can exploit this by sending a specially crafted request with a malicious Host header. This can lead to the application generating redirects to attacker-controlled domains or poisoning the internal cache with incorrect host information, potentially affecting subsequent legitimate user requests. Patches are available in Drupal versions 10.5.12, 10.6.11, 11.2.14, and 11.3.12.
