Deeper analysis

ILIAS versions prior to 7.16 contain an open redirect vulnerability tracked as CVE-2022-45917 and assigned CWE-601. The flaw affects the ILIAS eLearning platform and carries a CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.1, reflecting network attack vector, low complexity, no required privileges, and required user interaction with changed scope.

An unauthenticated attacker can supply a crafted URL that causes the application to redirect a victim’s browser to an arbitrary external destination. Successful exploitation enables phishing or other social-engineering attacks that leverage the trust associated with the ILIAS origin, resulting in limited impacts to confidentiality and integrity.

Public disclosures from SEC Consult and Full Disclosure mailing lists detail the issue among several other vulnerabilities in the same platform and point to updated releases as the primary remediation path. The associated EPSS score has remained in the moderate range without a pronounced post-disclosure climb from a low baseline.
