Tornado is a Python web framework and asynchronous networking library. In versions through 6.6.0, applications using  tornado.web.RedirectHandler  with URL templates that allow attacker-controlled substitutions to influence the destination can be vulnerable to an open redirect using three or more leading slashes. Differences between Python’s URL parsing and browser URL interpretation allow a crafted destination to redirect a user to an attacker-controlled host. The remediation for CVE-2026-116578 in version 6.6.0 did not fully address this case. This issue is fixed in version 6.6.1.
