πŸš€ Introduction

Imagine 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! πŸ’°

Let’s break it down: What is Open Redirect, how does it work, real-world examples, and how you can earn money from it?

πŸ” What is an Open Redirect Vulnerability?

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.

πŸ’‘ 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
