Open Redirect FAQ

What is an Open Redirect vulnerability?

An open redirect occurs when a web application uses user-supplied input to redirect them to another URL without proper validation. An attacker can create a link with your trusted domain that automatically redirects the user to a malicious site. Example: `your-site.com/redirect?url=http://evil-site.com`.

How does this tool test for vulnerabilities?

Our tool intelligently parses the URL(s) you provide to find **all** parameters. For each parameter, it generates a list of new URLs with common payloads pointing to a safe, user-defined domain. You can then click these links to safely simulate an attack and see if the redirect occurs.

How do I fix an open redirect vulnerability?

The best way is to avoid using user-controlled data in redirect URLs. If you must, implement a strict allow-list of approved, safe domains. Never rely on a block-list, as attackers can often bypass them. Always validate and sanitize all user input that influences redirects.
