Product: vBulletin
Version: 3 - 4.1.3
Release Date: 06/02/2011
Risk: Low
Authentication: Not required to exploit.
Remote: Yes

Description: 
Multiple Open Redirect vulnerabilities in vBulletin version 4.1.3 and below allow remote attackers to redirect users to 
arbitrary web sites and conduct phishing attacks via the "url" parameter. By appending ?url=http://attackersite.com any 
number of pages, the user will be redirected to a potentially dangerous site. This is particularly interesting when 
used on the registration form or the password reset form. 

Exploit Example:
http://forum.pwndshop.com/register.php?do=checkdate&url=http://attackersite.com

Vendor Notified: Yes
