Summary

A file-upload handler redirects the authenticated client's browser to a URL taken directly from that same request's Referer header, without validating it against the application's own origin. This allows an authenticated attacker to craft a request that causes another user's browser to be redirected to an arbitrary external destination after completing an upload.
