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.
CVE-2025-71405
This medium-severity CVE scores 5.1 under a secondary CVSS source (NVD's own analysis pending). EPSS exploit probability: 0.4% (30th percentile of EPSS-scored CVEs). GitHub Security Advisory data not yet ingested — confidence will rise once GHSA publishes (typical lag: hours to days for open-source ecosystem CVEs; never for infrastructure-only CVEs).
