SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires openredirex, nuclei, gf, qsreplace.

What problem does it solve?

This skill automates the discovery and validation of open redirect vulnerabilities, which are often overlooked but can be critical when chained to OAuth token theft, SSRF, or phishing attacks.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated Discovery: Scans target URLs for common redirect parameters like ?url=, ?next=, and ?redirect_uri=.
  • Bypass Testing: Executes a comprehensive suite of payload techniques including protocol-relative, encoding, and null-byte bypasses.
  • Chain Validation: Evaluates the impact of findings by testing potential chains to OAuth authorization code theft or SSRF escalation.

Quick Start

Use the hunt-open-redirect skill to scan the target domain example.com for redirect parameters and test them against the built-in bypass payload list.

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

You can automate open redirect discovery by testing common URL parameters like ?next= and ?redirect_uri= against a suite of bypass payloads, validating the redirect chain to confirm successful external redirection.

What is an open redirect vulnerability and how does it impact OAuth flows?

An open redirect vulnerability allows arbitrary external URL redirection. When chained with OAuth flows, it enables authorization code theft, SSRF escalation, and phishing attacks by hijacking the intended redirect path.

Can I test open redirect bypass techniques like protocol-relative and encoding bypasses?

Yes, open redirect testing supports bypass techniques including protocol-relative paths, URL encoding variations, and null-byte injections to evade strict parameter validation filters and confirm external redirection.

Do I need command-line utilities and network connectivity to perform redirect chain verification?

Yes, redirect chain verification requires standard command-line utilities and network connectivity to perform HTTP request analysis, using tools like openredirex and nuclei to execute payloads and analyze server responses.

What's the best way to automate open redirect discovery using nuclei and gf?

Automate open redirect discovery by using gf to extract URLs with redirect parameters, qsreplace to inject bypass payloads, and nuclei to validate redirect chains, streamlining vulnerability identification and HTTP request analysis.

When should I not rely solely on automated open redirect scanning?

Automated open redirect scanning may miss custom validation logic or complex chain interactions, requiring manual verification to accurately evaluate impact chains like OAuth token theft and SSRF escalation.
