Am I affected?
Debian, Ubuntu or Red Hat sometimes backport a fix without changing the upstream version number: such a version reads « to verify », never « affected ».With a domain, we read the version its public headers and pages expose. A distribution build can carry the fix under an older number.
Description
Open redirect vulnerability exists in web2py versions prior to 2.23.1. When using the tool, a web2py user may be redirected to an arbitrary website by accessing a specially crafted URL. As a result, the user may become a victim of a phishing attack.
