SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Open redirects alone are typically low risk but can be chained to privilege-escalating flows like OAuth token theft (ATO) and phishing. By identifying and classifying redirect parameters, this skill helps you map potential attack chains and prioritize remediation or responsible disclosure.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Identify redirect parameters such as ?redirect=, ?next=, ?return= to discover open redirect weaknesses.
  • Evaluate chains to OAuth, phishing, and SSRF, enabling realistic red-team scenarios within authorized engagements.
  • Provide a repeatable hunting workflow with validation steps and practical payload patterns to assess redirect-related risks.

Quick Start

Load the skill and begin scanning targets for redirect parameters, then verify open redirects using your preferred testing stack.

Frequently Asked Questions about hunt-open-redirect

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I find open redirect vulnerabilities in web applications?

Open redirects are identified by mapping and manipulating parameters like ?redirect=, ?next=, and ?return= to verify if external URLs can be injected into the web application's redirect flow.

Can an open redirect be chained into OAuth token theft or account takeover?

Yes, open redirects can be chained into OAuth token theft and account takeover by manipulating redirect parameters to intercept authorization flows or redirect users to malicious phishing endpoints.

What redirect parameters should I test during bug hunting engagements?

During bug hunting engagements, test redirect parameters such as ?redirect=, ?next=, and ?return= to discover open redirect weaknesses and evaluate potential downstream attack chain scenarios.

How do open redirects enable SSRF and session fixation attack scenarios?

Open redirects enable SSRF and session fixation scenarios by allowing attackers to manipulate redirect parameters, chaining the redirect flow to pivot requests to internal services or fixate session identifiers.

What is the best way to automate open redirect detection for red team operations?

Automate open redirect detection for red team operations by applying repeatable hunting workflows with defined detection patterns and practical payload patterns to assess redirect-related risks across authorized targets.

Does this open redirect hunting approach require specific dependencies or testing components?

No specific dependencies or testing components are required; you can apply the detection patterns and validation steps using your preferred testing stack within authorized testing contexts.
