Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Open Redirect in the normalization of the HTTP Location header during redirects. An attacker can redirect users to an arbitrary external site by supplying specially crafted input containing ASCII tab, carriage return, or newline characters, which are stripped before parsing and can cause the redirect target to be interpreted as a protocol-relative URL under attacker control.
