CakePHP Authentication is an authentication plugin for CakePHP that can also be used in PSR-7 based applications. Prior to 2.11.1, 3.3.6, and 4.1.1, the getLoginRedirect() method contains a weakness to backslash bypasses that allows redirect targets with attacker-controlled hostnames through the redirect query string parameter. This issue is fixed in versions 2.11.1, 3.3.6, and 4.1.1.
CakePHP 1.3.7 allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via a direct request to a .php file, which reveals the installation path in an error message, as demonstrated by dispatcher.php and certain other files.
