What problem does it solve?
Standalone open redirect vulnerabilities are often rated low severity, but can be chained to high-impact attacks including OAuth token theft leading to full account takeover, phishing campaigns leveraging trusted target domains, and server-side request forgery (SSRF) escalation. This Skill eliminates manual effort by providing a structured workflow to identify, bypass, and chain open redirect flaws across web applications.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Full Open Redirect Coverage: Hunts all common redirect parameter patterns (?redirect=, ?next=, ?return=, ?redirect_uri=, etc.) across login/logout flows, OAuth authorization endpoints, language switchers, and payment redirects.
- Bypass & Chain Guidance: Includes a comprehensive table of bypass payloads (protocol-relative, backslash, at-sign confusion, URL encoding, null byte, etc.) and step-by-step instructions for chaining open redirects to OAuth token theft, phishing, SSRF, and session fixation attacks.
- Automation Integration: Provides ready-to-use commands for tools like openredirex, nuclei, and gf + qsreplace to automate discovery and validation at scale.
- Real-World Use Case: A red teamer targeting a SaaS platform with OAuth login can use this Skill to find vulnerable redirect_uri parameters, test bypass payloads, chain the open redirect to steal OAuth auth codes, and achieve full user account takeover with a single crafted link.
Quick Start
Use the hunt-open-redirect skill to test all redirect parameters on your target's OAuth authorization endpoints for open redirect vulnerabilities and chain them to account takeover attacks.
