<p>An open redirect vulnerability exists in Microsoft Exchange that could lead to spoofing.</p> <p>To exploit the vulnerability, an attacker could send a link that has a specially crafted URL, and convince the user to click the link. When an authenticated Exchange user clicks the link, the authenticated user's browser session could be redirected to a malicious site that is designed to impersonate a legitimate website. By doing so, the attacker could trick the user and potentially acquire sensitive information, such as the user's credentials.</p> <p>The update addresses the vulnerability by correcting how Exchange handles open redirect requests.</p>
