Refactored Open Redirect vulnerability to allow for user configuration as requested.
Prior it was observed that the req.url could get parsed to navigate a user to an external website, example: https://docs.requarks.io////google.com// would navigate directly to google.com. This behavior was observed in the req.url variable. This PR allows a configurable middleware to strip all repeating / characters from the user controlled url. More about the vulnerability can be found at
https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/601.html
In addition, it was observed that ./server/middlewares/secruity.js if statements were not referencing global variables correctly as per the ./server/app/data.yml file structure. As such they were effectively being ignored as confirmed by console.log statements. The data.yml format required the variables to be referenced as WIKI.config.security.* to be effective. This PR simultaneously fixes that issue.
