Shibboleth acting as open redirect

Hi,

It's come to my attention that our Shibboleth installation is acting as as
open redirect via the Logout endpoint. For example,
https://www.york.ac.uk/Shibboleth.sso/Logout?return=https://news.bbc.co.uk
This could be used in phishing attacks to impersonate our domain.

Is this behaviour standard, or is it a mis-configuration on our part? How
should we best mitigate this? One option might be to simply disable this
endpoint.

Thanks,

Max Spicer
