Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Pligg versions 1.0.2 and earlier

Description The issue allows remote attackers to redirect users to arbitrary web sites and conduct phishing attacks. This can be achieved via the return parameter to "pligg/login.php" and the HTTP Referer header to "user settings.php".

Recommendations For Pligg versions 1.0.2 and earlier, as a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the "pligg/login.php" and "user settings.php" pages until a patch is available. Avoid using the return parameter in the "pligg/login.php" endpoint until the issue is resolved.
