Bug description:
  This bug report is related to Security.

  Currently novnc is allowing open direction, which could potentially be
  used for phishing attempts

  To test.
  https://<sites' vnc domain>//example.com/%2F..
  include .. at the end

  For example:
  http://vncproxy.my.domain.com//example.com/%2F..

  It will redirect to example.com. You can replace example.com with some
  legitimate domain or spoofed domain.

  The description of the risk  is
  By modifying untrusted URL input to a malicious site, an attacker may successfully launch a phishing scam and steal user credentials.
  Because the server name in the modified link is identical to the original site, phishing attempts may have a more trustworthy appearance.
