Technical summary

The Meeting Room Booking System (MRBS) is vulnerable to unauthenticated redirects to attacker-specified URLs. This allows an attacker to create a specially-crafted URL to an MRBS installation that will cause the user who clicks it to be redirected to the attacker-specified redirect URL, potentially leading to phishing attacks.
