CVE-2026-1277 — URL Shortify <= 1.12.1 - Unauthenticated Open Redirect via 'redirect_to' Parameter

The URL Shortify plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Open Redirect in all versions up to, and including, 1.12.1 due to insufficient validation on the 'redirect_to' parameter in the promotional dismissal handler. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to redirect users to potentially malicious sites via a crafted link.
