SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you identify and exploit open redirect vulnerabilities where an application redirects to attacker-controlled destinations using user-influenced inputs, enabling phishing, token theft, CSRF bypasses, and SSRF chaining.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Redirect Parameter Discovery: Locate URL parameters and navigation sinks that drive redirect behavior.
  • Filter Bypass & URL Confusion Techniques: Apply payload patterns that defeat common allowlists and parsing differences across validators, servers, and browsers.
  • Attack Chaining Playbooks: Chain open redirects into phishing amplification, OAuth token/code theft, CSRF referer bypass, and server-side redirect-following SSRF.

Quick Start

Use the open-redirect skill to review a target’s redirect parameters and test for bypasses that can land on an external domain while preserving required OAuth or CSRF conditions.

FAQPage Schema
How do I exploit an open redirect vulnerability to steal OAuth tokens?

Open redirect vulnerabilities allow OAuth token theft by manipulating URL parameters to redirect victims to attacker-controlled destinations. Chain the redirect into authentication flows to capture authorization codes or tokens.

What is an open redirect payload and how does it bypass URL validation filters?

An open redirect payload bypasses URL validation by exploiting parsing differences across validators, servers, and browsers. Apply specific payload patterns that defeat common allowlists to redirect to external domains.

Can I use open redirect bugs to perform SSRF attacks?

Yes, open redirect bugs enable SSRF attacks by chaining server-side redirect-following features. Manipulate redirect parameters to force the server to fetch internal resources, converting client-side navigation sinks into server-side request forgeries.

How do I find redirect parameters and navigation sinks in a web application?

Find redirect parameters and navigation sinks by systematically discovering URL parameters that drive redirect behavior. Target client-side navigation sinks and server-side redirect features accepting attacker-influenced inputs.

Does an open redirect vulnerability help with CSRF referer bypasses?

An open redirect vulnerability helps with CSRF referer bypasses by crafting redirects that preserve required validation conditions. Exploit URL confusion techniques to manipulate referer headers and bypass CSRF protections during cross-site requests.
