Technical details
The account confirmation endpoint's redirect validation uses a flawed `startswith("/")` check that fails to block protocol-relative URLs like `//evil.com`. An attacker can inject a protocol-relative URL via the `next` parameter, which browsers interpret as redirecting to an external domain while bypassing the validation. The vulnerability affects version 16.1's incomplete CVE-2026-54724 fix and all earlier releases.
