# CVE-2025-50578

> 9.8 CRITICAL · 🧪 PoC

## Beschreibung

LinuxServer.io heimdall 2.6.3-ls307 contains a vulnerability in how it handles user-supplied HTTP headers, specifically `X-Forwarded-Host` and `Referer`. An unauthenticated remote attacker can manipulate these headers to perform Host Header Injection and Open Redirect attacks. This allows the loading of external resources from attacker-controlled domains and unintended redirection of users, potentially enabling phishing, UI redress, and session theft. The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation and trust of untrusted input, affecting the integrity and trustworthiness of the application.

## Schwachstellen-Klasse

- **CWE-20** — Improper Input Validation
  The product receives input or data, but it does not validate or incorrectly validates that the input has the properties that are required to process the data safely and correctly.
- **CWE-601** — URL Redirection to Untrusted Site
  The web application accepts a user-controlled input that specifies a link to an external site, and uses that link in a redirect.
- **CWE-74** — Improper Neutralization of Special Elements in Output Used by a Downstream Component (Injection)
  The product constructs all or part of a command, data structure, or record using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify how it is parsed or interpreted when it is sent to a downstream component.
