Client Side URL Redirection

An open redirect vulnerability occurs when a website fails to validate input parameters that control redirection to external URLs. This allows attackers to redirect users to malicious sites, potentially conducting phishing or stealing credentials. Open redirects can also be abused to bypass access controls and access privileged functions. Testing for open redirects involves analyzing URL parameters for redirects and ensuring proper validation of user-supplied redirect URLs.

Open Redirect also known as Unvalidated
Redirects and Forwards.

Platform All web platforms affected


http://www.abc.com?redirect=http://www.attacker.com

The victim that visits abc.com will be


automatically redirected to
www.attacker.com

Moreover open redirections could also be


used to maliciously craft an URL that would
bypass the applications access control checks
and then forward the attacker to privileged
functions that they would normally not be
able to access.
