An Open redirect vulnerability was found in ovirt-engine versions 4.4 and earlier, where it allows remote attackers to redirect users to arbitrary web sites and attempt phishing attacks. Once the target has opened the malicious URL in their browser, the critical part of the URL is no longer visible. The highest threat from this vulnerability is on confidentiality.
The user interface (UI) does not properly represent critical information to the user, allowing the information - or its source - to be obscured or spoofed. This is often a component in phishing attacks.

If an attacker can cause the UI to display erroneous data, or to otherwise convince the user to display information that appears to come from a trusted source, then the attacker could trick the user into performing the wrong action. This is often a component in phishing attacks, but other kinds of problems exist. For example, if the UI is used to monitor the security state of a system or network, then omitting or obscuring an important indicator could prevent the user from detecting and reacting to a security-critical event. UI misrepresentation can take many forms:
