Root Cause Analysis
The vulnerability stems from the onBeforeSecurityLogin function in SecurityLoginExtension.php. The commit diff explicitly shows the addition of Director::is_site_url($URL) to validate the BackURL parameter, confirming the lack of this check was the root cause. The CVE description and advisory both directly reference this function and its manipulation of the URL argument as the exploit vector. No other functions are implicated in the provided technical details.
