CVE-2026-93869

Description

Cotonti through 1.0.0 contains an open redirect vulnerability in the cot_url_check() function that validates redirect destinations using a regular expression lacking an end-of-string anchor. Attackers can bypass the redirect guard by supplying hostnames beginning with the site domain to redirect users to attacker-controlled hosts through the ratings plugin or other redirect callers.
