Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to URL Redirection to Untrusted Site ('Open Redirect') via the homeserver address parameter in the login response. An attacker can cause the application to send session requests to local files or, on Windows, to an attacker-controlled network share, potentially leaking NTLM credentials by supplying a crafted file: URL. This is only exploitable if the user logs in to a malicious or compromised homeserver and, for NTLM credential leakage, is running the application on Windows.
