ARTICLE ADImagine clicking on a trusted website link, but instead of landing on the actual site, you end up on a malicious phishing page! 😱 This is the power of Open Redirect Vulnerabilities, a security loophole that attackers exploit to trick users and steal sensitive information.
If you’re a bug bounty hunter, this is one of the easiest vulnerabilities to find, and companies are willing to pay up to $500 or more for a well-documented report! 💰
Let’s break it down: What is Open Redirect, how does it work, real-world examples, and how you can earn money from it?
An Open Redirect occurs when a website allows users to be redirected to an external site without proper validation. This can be abused by attackers to redirect victims to phishing pages, malware sites, or scam pages.
💡 Example: A website may have a login page that redirects users after logging in, like this:
https://trusted-website.com/login?redirect=trusted-website.com/dashboard
