If you cannot patch yet, users should be cautious about relying on the RedirectSlashes middleware with untrusted input and consider implementing additional validation or controls on redirect URLs to prevent open redirects.
Description
chi versions before v5.2.2 contain an open redirect vulnerability in the RedirectSlashes middleware function that uses the Host header to construct redirect URLs. Attackers can manipulate the Host header to redirect users to arbitrary hosts, enabling phishing attacks and credential theft.
