Severity: CRITICAL

Vulnerability: Open Redirect vulnerability bypass in get_safe_redirect_url. The urllib.parse.urlparse function parses URLs like http:evil.com or http:///evil.com with a valid scheme ('http') but an empty netloc (''). The previous validation logic permitted these URLs because parsed.netloc was empty, thus skipping the strict host match. However, modern browsers interpret such strings as valid absolute URLs and will follow the redirect to external malicious servers, potentially compromising user tokens or performing phishing attacks.

Impact: Attackers can trick users into clicking on malicious links containing crafted next or referer parameters. The application would then redirect users to an attacker-controlled domain under the guise of an authenticated operation.

Fix: Introduced an explicit condition if parsed.scheme and not parsed.netloc: in get_safe_redirect_url to reject URLs missing a netloc if they have a scheme, resolving the validation bypass.

Verification: Verified the fix by invoking get_safe_redirect_url locally against inputs like http:evil.com, http:///evil.com, confirming they now appropriately return /. Lints pass without errors.


PR created automatically by Jules for task 3813081336633118368 started by @Tugamer89

Patched `get_safe_redirect_url` in `core/security.py` to prevent open redirects where URLs with an HTTP/HTTPS scheme bypass validation due to missing netloc (e.g., `http:evil.com`).
