# CVE-2026-54724: Kiwi TCMS: Open Redirect via unvalidated next parameter in account confirmation endpoint

- Also known as: GHSA-HMJ5-JM8H-H9FH, PYSEC-2026-2552
- Severity: CVSS 6.1 (Medium), CNA
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N
- CISA SSVC: exploitation=none, automatable=no, technicalImpact=partial
- Known exploited (CISA KEV): no
- Fixed in: 16.1
- Published: 2026-09-15 · Updated: 2026-09-15

## Affected

- kiwitcms Kiwi: fixed in 16.1
- kiwitcms (PyPI): through 12.4

## Description

Kiwi TCMS is an open source test management system. Prior to 16.1, the account confirmation endpoint accepted an unvalidated next parameter, allowing an unauthenticated attacker to create a URL on a trusted Kiwi TCMS hostname that redirects a victim to an arbitrary external domain. The trusted origin can support credential-harvesting pages, bypass email security filters and link-reputation checks that allowlist the organization's domain, or deliver malware through a convincing account-confirmation lure. This issue is fixed in version 16.1.

## What to do
