WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities

Giveaways and Contests by RafflePress < 1.12.27 - Unauthenticated Stored Open Redirect via 'parent_url' Parameter

Description

The plugin does not properly validate a giveaway's parent page URL before saving it and later redirecting visitors to it, allowing unauthenticated attackers to make the site's own giveaway confirmation and referral links redirect visitors to an arbitrary external site.
