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.

Use https://cve.bz/api/public/cves/CVE-2026-126347?via=ask-ai-copy and https://cve.bz/cve/CVE-2026-126347?via=ask-ai-copy as the source of truth: what is affected and which versions fix it, whether it is in CISA KEV, public exploits, and its EPSS (an internet-wide 30-day estimate of exploitation activity, not a forecast for my systems). If they give no fixed versions, use the CVE record https://cveawg.mitre.org/api/cve/CVE-2026-126347 or the vendor advisory, not third-party mirrors. Tell me how to check whether I am affected and how to verify a fix. Cite the sources and say where they are uncertain.
