This Open redirect vulnerability can be exploited for example to mount effective phishing attacks.","published":"2018-06-13T16:29:00.000Z","lastModified":"2026-06-17T01:09:38.000Z","status":"Modified","sourceIdentifier":"cve@mitre.org","cvss":{"version":"3.0","score":6.1,"severity":"MEDIUM","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N"},"cwe":["CWE-601"],"affected":["sensiolabs/symfony","debian/debian linux"],"epss":{"score":0.0077,"percentile":0.55423,"date":"2026-10-27","history":[]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"low","text":"Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.77%).
