Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Open Redirect via the redirect middleware, which constructs absolute redirect URLs using untrusted host information from request connection metadata. An attacker can cause users to be redirected to attacker-controlled domains by supplying a malicious Host header, potentially enabling phishing attacks and trust-boundary violations. This is only exploitable if strict host allowlisting or validation is not enforced in the deployment.
