This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to supply an HTML file that can be leverged to redirect users to a malicious domain.

Business impact

Successful exploitation of CVE-2025-7507, a medium vulnerability (CVSS 6.4) affecting the affected product, may affect the confidentiality, integrity or availability of the vulnerable environment. The exact impact depends on the installed version, exposed interfaces and deployment configuration.
