Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Embedthis GoAhead version 2.5.0

Description An issue was discovered where certain pages, such as "goform/login" and "config/log off page.htm", create links containing a hostname obtained from an arbitrary HTTP Host header sent by an attacker. This could potentially be used in a phishing attack.

Recommendations For Embedthis GoAhead version 2.5.0, consider restricting access to the affected pages, such as "goform/login" and "config/log off page.htm", until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, avoid using the arbitrary HTTP Host header to generate links on these pages.
