Blackboard Learning and Community Portal System in Academic Suite 6.3.1.424, 6.2.3.23, and other versions before 6 allows remote attackers to redirect users to other URLs and conduct phishing attacks via a modified url parameter to frameset.jsp, which loads the URL into a frame and causes it to appear to be part of a valid page.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This older Blackboard Academic Suite issue lets an attacker make a legitimate Blackboard page display an attacker-chosen external page inside a frame. The main business risk is phishing: users may trust the Blackboard address while entering credentials or sensitive information into content controlled elsewhere. Exposure is most likely in legacy Blackboard Academic Suite environments where frameset.jsp remains reachable. The source bundle does not provide a complete affected-version inventory, supported-version status, or vendor patch details. Treat this as a targeted phishing risk for legacy education portals. It is not a critical infrastructure takeover issue, but exposed obsolete Blackboard systems can damage trust and credential security. Mitigation focus: Identify any remaining Blackboard Academic Suite deployments and their exact versions.; Check current Blackboard or Anthology guidance for supported fixes or upgrade paths.; Restrict or retire legacy Blackboard instances that are no longer supported..

URL Redirection to Untrusted Site ('Open Redirect')

URL Redirection to Untrusted Site ('Open Redirect') represents a recurring weakness pattern that can create exploitable paths when design, validation, or implementation controls are missing.
