Technical Details & Description:
================================
An open redirect web vulnerability has been discovered in the official SimpleView CRM web-application.
The bug allows remote attackers to execute external urls by the internal web-application requests via client-side.

The vulnerability is located in the `redirect` parameter of the vulnerable `./crm/track/` module. The vulnerability 
allows an remote 
attacker to prepare client-side malicious urls to external sources. The request method to execute is GET and the 
vulnerability is 
located on the application-side of the online-service. The vulnerability is a classic open redirect web vulnerability.

The security risk of the open redirect web vulnerability is estimated as medium with a cvss (common vulnerability 
scoring system) count of 3.0. 
Exploitation of the persistent input validation web vulnerability requires no privileged user account and low or medium 
user interaction. 
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in client-side redirects to malicious sources or client-side 
phishing.

Request Method(s):
                                [+] GET

Vulnerable Module(s):
                                [+] ./crm/track/

Vulnerable Parameter(s):
                                [+] redirect


Proof of Concept (PoC):
=======================
The vulnerability can be exploited by remote attackers without privileged web-application user account and with low or 
medium user interaction.
For security demonstration or to reproduce the vulnerability follow the provided information and steps below to 
continue.

Vulnerability:
Open redirect in the following module:  /plugins/crm/track/?key=4_314&redirect=http://EVILURLHERE.com

PoC:
www.example.com/plugins/crm/track/?key=4_314&redirect=http://test.de/


Solution - Fix & Patch:
=======================
The vulnerability can be patched by a secure restriction of the `redirect/key` parameter in the `plugins` module of the 
software.
Disallow to request not whitelisted webpages in  the `redirect` value and include a tag filter to prevent as well.


Security Risk:
==============
The security risk of the client-side open redirect web vulnerability in the simpleview crm web-application is estimated 
as low. (CVSS 2.8)
