βοΈ **Threshold**: Low. π **Network**: Attack Vector is Network (AV:N). π **Privileges**: No Privileges Required (PR:N). π±οΈ **User Interaction**: Required (UI:R) - victim must click a malicious link. AC is Low (AC:L).
Q6Is there a public Exp? (PoC/Wild Exploitation)
π **Exploit**: Yes. π **PoC**: Public Nuclei template available via ProjectDiscovery. π **Status**: Known vulnerability with clear exploitation paths described in security advisories.
Q7How to self-check? (Features/Scanning)
π **Check**: Scan for Admidio instances. π§ͺ **Test**: Craft a URL with a malicious payload in the `url` parameter of `redirect.php`.β¦
π οΈ **Fix**: Upgrade to **Admidio 4.0.12** or newer. π₯ **Source**: Official GitHub releases and security advisories (GHSA-3qgf-qgc3-42hh) confirm the patch is available.
