• Maven org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-oldcore: >= 6.0-rc-1, < 13.10.10 → fixed in 13.10.10 • Maven org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-oldcore: >= 14.0-rc-1, < 14.4.4 → fixed in 14.4.4 • Maven org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-oldcore: >= 14.5, < 14.8-rc-1 → fixed in 14.8-rc-1

Impact It is possible to bypass the existing security measures put in place to avoid open redirect by using a redirect such as `//mydomain.com` (i.e. omitting the `http:`). It was also possible to bypass it when using URL such as `http:/mydomain.com`. Patches The problem has been patched on XWiki 13.10.10, 14.4.4 and 14.8RC1. Workarounds The only way to workaround the bug is by providing a patched jar of xwiki-platform-oldcore containing the following changes: https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/commit/e4f7f68e93cb08c25632c126356d218abf192d1e#diff-c445f288d5d63424f56ef13f65514ab4e174a72e979b53b88197c2b7def267cf.
