With WebPAC Pro, libraries will be able to take advantage of the latest Web technologies and engage Web-savvy users more effectively than ever before. WebPAC Pro is a complete update of the Web OPAC interface" "WebPAC Pro breaks through the functional and design limitations of the traditional online catalog. Its solid technology framework supports tools for patron access such as Spell Check; integrated Really Simple Syndication (RSS) feeds; a suite of products for seamless Campus Computing; and deep control over information content and presentation with Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). WebPAC Pro is also a platform for participation when integrated with Innovative's Patron Ratings features and Community Reviews product.

WebPAC Pro can also interconnect with Innovative's discovery services platform, Encore. And for elegant access through Blackberry? Storm? or iPhone?, the AirPAC provides catalog searching, item requesting, and more." *(2) Vulnerability Details:* WebPAC Pro web application has a security bug problem. It can be exploited by Unvalidated Redirects and Forwards (URL Redirection) attacks. This could allow a user to create a specially crafted URL, that if clicked, would redirect a victim from the intended legitimate web site to an arbitrary web site of the attacker's choosing. Such attacks are useful as the crafted URL initially appear to be a web page of a trusted site. This could be leveraged to direct an unsuspecting user to a web page containing attacks that target client side software such as a web browser or document rendering programs. Other Innovative Interfaces products vulnerabilities have been found by some other bug hunter researchers before. Innovative has patched some of them. NVD is the U.S. government repository of standards based vulnerability management data (This data enables automation of vulnerability management, security measurement, and compliance (e.g. FISMA)). It has published suggestions, advisories, solutions related to Innovative vulnerabilities. *(2.1) *The first code programming flaw occurs at "showres?" page with "&url" parameter. *References:* http://tetraph.com/security/open-redirect/innovative-webpac-pro-2-0-unvalidated-redirects-and-forwards-url-redirection-security-vulnerabilities/ http://securityrelated.blogspot.com/2015/03/innovative-webpac-pro-20-unvalidated.html http://www.inzeed.com/kaleidoscope/computer-web-security/innovative-webpac-pro-2-0-unvalidated-redirects-and-forwards-url-redirection-security-vulnerabilities/ http://diebiyi.com/articles/%E5%AE%89%E5%85%A8/innovative-webpac-pro-2-0-unvalidated-redirects-and-forwards-url-redirection-security-vulnerabilities/ https://infoswift.wordpress.com/2015/03/14/innovative-webpac-pro-2-0-unvalidated-redirects-and-forwards-url-redirection-security-vulnerabilities/ http://marc.info/?l=full-disclosure&m=142527148510581&w=4 http://en.hackdig.com/wap/?id=17054 -- Wang Jing, Division of Mathematical Sciences (MAS), School of Physical and Mathematical Sciences (SPMS), Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore. http://www.tetraph.com/wangjing/ https://twitter.com/tetraphibious
