What is CVE-2024-53995?
CVE-2024-53995 is a low-severity vulnerability in sickchill, published on 8 Jan 2025. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.
Official description
SickChill is an automatic video library manager for TV shows. A user-controlled `login` endpoint's `next_` parameter takes arbitrary content. Prior to commit c7128a8946c3701df95c285810eb75b2de18bf82, an authenticated attacker may use this to redirect the user to arbitrary destinations, leading to open redirect. Commit c7128a8946c3701df95c285810eb75b2de18bf82 changes the login page to redirect to `settings.DEFAULT_PAGE` instead of to the `next` parameter.
Weakness: CWE-601
