What is CVE-2018-15913?

A security flaw in Cloudera Manager versions 5.x through 5.15.0 allows an attacker to exploit the 'returnUrl' parameter. Lack of validation on this parameter enables potential redirection to malicious external sites or execution of harmful JavaScript, posing significant risks to users. This vulnerability was addressed by restricting the 'returnUrl' parameter to disallow certain patterns (e.g., http://, https://, //, or javascript), while specifically permitting SAML Login/Logout URLs that are intentionally configured.
