Description

The Freshdesk (official) Plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Open Redirect in versions up to, and including, 1.7. This is due to the application failing to properly verify user-supplied input from the `$redirect_url` value. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to exploit this issue and redirect users to arbitrary web sites and conduct phishing attacks; other attacks are also possible.
