Description
SickChill is an automatic video library manager for TV shows. A user-controlled login endpoint's next_ parameter takes arbitrary content. Prior to commit c7128a8946c3701df95c285810eb75b2de18bf82, an authenticated attacker may use this to redirect the user to arbitrary destinations, leading to open redirect. Commit c7128a8946c3701df95c285810eb75b2de18bf82 changes the login page to redirect to settings.DEFAULT_PAGE instead of to the next parameter.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for sickchill, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Remediation status
No patched version of sickchill has shipped for CVE-2024-53995 yet. Where your build allows, override or pin the dependency away from the vulnerable range, and apply any maintainer-recommended mitigation.
Mitigate without a patch
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
How O3 protects you
O3 Security's impact-aware SCA analyses which vulnerable code paths your application actually calls, so a match like CVE-2024-53995 can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.
Tailored to CVE-2024-53995. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
