CVE-2025-11222 is an Open Redirect vulnerability identified in Central Dogma, a configuration management tool developed by LINE Corporation. The vulnerability exists in versions prior to 0.78.0, specifically noted in version 0.77. An Open Redirect occurs when a web application accepts a user-controlled input that specifies a URL to which the application redirects the user, without proper validation. Attackers can exploit this by crafting URLs that appear legitimate but redirect victims to malicious sites. This can facilitate phishing attacks by leveraging the trust users place in the original domain, potentially leading to credential theft or delivery of malware. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 6.1, indicating medium severity, with the vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N. This means the attack can be launched remotely over the network with low complexity, requires no privileges, but does require user interaction (clicking the malicious link). The scope is changed (S:C), indicating that the vulnerability affects resources beyond the vulnerable component. The impact affects confidentiality and integrity at a low level, with no impact on availability. No known exploits have been reported in the wild, but the vulnerability is publicly disclosed as of December 4, 2025. The lack of patch links suggests that users should upgrade to version 0.78.0 or later where the issue is fixed. The vulnerability can be leveraged in social engineering campaigns to trick users into visiting malicious sites under the guise of a trusted domain.

For European organizations, this vulnerability primarily poses a risk to user trust and data confidentiality. Organizations using Central Dogma for configuration management may inadvertently facilitate phishing attacks if attackers exploit the Open Redirect flaw. This can lead to credential theft, unauthorized access to corporate systems, and potential lateral movement within networks if attackers obtain valid user credentials. While the vulnerability does not directly compromise system availability or integrity of the software itself, the indirect consequences of successful phishing can be severe, including data breaches and financial loss. The medium severity rating reflects the moderate risk, but the widespread use of Central Dogma in software development and operations environments in Europe increases the potential attack surface. Organizations with large user bases or those in regulated industries (finance, healthcare) face heightened risks due to stricter compliance requirements around data protection and user authentication.

1. Upgrade Central Dogma to version 0.78.0 or later immediately, as this version addresses the Open Redirect vulnerability. 2. Implement strict validation and sanitization of all URL parameters used for redirection to ensure only trusted domains are allowed. 3. Employ Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to restrict the domains to which users can be redirected. 4. Educate users and administrators about the risks of phishing and the importance of scrutinizing URLs before clicking, especially those originating from Central Dogma interfaces. 5. Monitor logs and network traffic for unusual redirect patterns or spikes in user redirection requests. 6. Use multi-factor authentication (MFA) to reduce the impact of credential theft resulting from phishing. 7. Consider deploying web application firewalls (WAFs) with rules to detect and block suspicious redirect attempts. 8. Conduct regular security assessments and penetration tests focusing on URL handling and redirection logic in Central Dogma deployments.
