Open Redirect Checks

What is open redirect vulnerability?

Open redirection vulnerabilities arise when an application incorporates user-controllable data into the target of a redirection in an unsafe way. An attacker can construct a URL within the application that causes a redirection to an arbitrary external domain. This behavior can be leveraged to facilitate phishing attacks against users of the application. The ability to use an authentic application URL, targeting the correct domain and with a valid SSL certificate (if SSL is used), lends credibility to the phishing attack because many users, even if they verify these features, will not notice the subsequent redirection to a different domain.

What does this collection do?

This collection serves as a starting point to implement checks for the open redirect vulnerabilities in your infrastructure.

Note: You can use the Open Redirect Checks environment to run this collection.

  1. Get URLs GET https://example.com

  2. Check URL GET {{current_url}}
