Use the glide.cms.catalog_uri_relative property to enforce
relative links from the URI parameter on `/ess/catalog.do`.
The glide.cms.catalog_uri_relative property enforces relative links
from the URI parameter on /ess/catalog.do. If
glide.cms.catalog_uri_relative is not set to the recommended
value of true, then the URL will not be sanitized with the enforceRelativeURL(url)
function. Absolute URLs can pose a security risk when used as a part of parameter or a
field value, thus redirecting the source page to an adversary-controlled website.

| Category | [Validation, sanitization, and encoding](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/F1nREUr0FIKK6cga6jbKwg "Validation, sanitization, and encoding addresses input validation to prevent against vulnerabilities like Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), SQL injection and other attacks.") |
| Purpose | To restrict attempts to link external unauthorized content. |
