CVE-2026-64941 phoenixframework CVE debrief

Who should care

Users of phoenix_live_view library versions 0.5.0 to 1.0.18, 1.1.0-rc.0 to 1.1.32, and 1.2.0-rc.0 to 1.2.8 should review and apply patches. Additionally, operators, platform administrators, vulnerability management teams, and security teams responsible for these applications should assess their exposure and take appropriate defensive actions.

Technical summary

The phoenix_live_view library has a URL Redirection to Untrusted Site vulnerability. An attacker can redirect a victim's browser to an arbitrary URL by exploiting the :to value validation weakness in the redirect/2 function. This issue arises because the validation mechanism does not properly handle ASCII tab, LF, or CR characters, which are stripped by browsers before URL parsing. As a result, an attacker can bypass validation and redirect the victim to a malicious site.

Defensive priority

Low-priority defensive review recommended due to limited attack surface and low CVSS score.

Recommended defensive actions

• Review and apply vendor patches for phoenix_live_view versions 0.5.0 to 1.0.18, 1.1.0-rc.0 to 1.1.32, and 1.2.0-rc.0 to 1.2.8
• Monitor and restrict incoming traffic to phoenix_live_view applications
• Perform inventory checks for affected phoenix_live_view versions
• Confirm whether affected product deployments exist in managed environments and assign an owner for follow-up
• Review the supplied official advisory or CVE record to validate affected scope, severity, and vendor guidance
• Plan vendor-supported updates or mitigations through normal change control where exposure is confirmed
