Open redirect vulnerability in the valid_back_url function in app/controllers/application_controller.rb in Redmine before 2.6.7, 3.0.x before 3.0.5, and 3.1.x before 3.1.1 allows remote attackers to redirect users to arbitrary web sites and conduct phishing attacks via a crafted back_url parameter, as demonstrated by "@attacker.com," a different vulnerability than CVE-2014-1985.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Redmine had an open redirect flaw that could let attackers send users from a trusted Redmine link to an arbitrary website. The main business risk is phishing: users may trust the original Redmine domain, then be redirected to a malicious site. Exposure is limited to organizations running affected Redmine versions, especially internet-accessible instances or instances used in email links and workflows. The source bundle does not identify affected downstream packages beyond the Debian advisory. Treat this as a targeted phishing risk rather than a direct server compromise issue. Prioritize remediation for internet-facing Redmine systems and environments where Redmine links are trusted by staff, customers, or partners. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Redmine 2.6.x to 2.6.7 or later.; Upgrade Redmine 3.0.x to 3.0.5 or later.; Upgrade Redmine 3.1.x to 3.1.1 or later..
