Kiwi TCMS is an open source test management system. Prior to 16.1, the account confirmation endpoint accepted an unvalidated next parameter, allowing an unauthenticated attacker to create a URL on a trusted Kiwi TCMS hostname that redirects a victim to an arbitrary external domain. The trusted origin can support credential-harvesting pages, bypass email security filters and link-reputation checks that allowlist the organization's domain, or deliver malware through a convincing account-confirmation lure. This issue is fixed in version 16.1.

- GHSA-hmj5-jm8h-h9fhKiwi TCMS has an Open Redirect via unvalidated next parameter in account confirmation endpoint2026-07-06ghsa · osvUS
### Summary An open redirect vulnerability in the account confirmation endpoint allows an unauthenticated attacker to craft a URL hosted on a legitimate Kiwi TCMS instance that redirects victims to an arbitrary external domain. The attack surface is particularly relevant for phishing campaigns targeting Kiwi TCMS users, as the malicious link originates from a trusted organizational hostname. ### Impact This is an open redirect vulnerability (CWE-601). Any unauthenticated attacker can exploit it against any user of a Kiwi TCMS deployment. The primary risk is phishing. Because Kiwi TCMS is typically deployed as an internal tool for engineering and QA teams, a redirect from the organization's own hostname carries high implicit trust. An attacker can use this endpoint to: - Redirect victims to a credential-harvesting page styled to match the Kiwi TCMS or corporate SSO login. - Bypass email security filters and link-reputation checks that allowlist the organization's domain. - Distribute malware via a convincing "confirm your account" lure.
