Package        : flask-security
Version        : 1.7.5-2+deb10u1
CVE ID         : CVE-2021-23385
Debian Bug     : 1021279

It was discovered that when using the get_post_logout_redirect and
get_post_login_redirect functions in flask-security, an implementation
of simple security for Flask apps, it is possible to bypass URL
validation and redirect a user to an arbitrary URL by providing multiple
back slashes such as \\\evil.com/path.

This vulnerability is exploitable only if an alternative WSGI server
other than Werkzeug is used, or the default behaviour of Werkzeug is
modified using 'autocorrect_location_header=False.

For Debian 10 buster, this problem has been fixed in version
1.7.5-2+deb10u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your flask-security packages.

For the detailed security status of flask-security please refer to
its security tracker page at:
