This site was found to allow open redirects from user supplied input. Open redirects are commonly
abused in phishing attacks where the original domain or URL looks like a legitimate link, but then
redirects a user to a malicious site. An example would be
https://example.com/redirect?url=https://%62%61%64%2e%63%6f%6d%2f%66%61%6b%65%6c%6f%67%69%6e which,
when decoded turns into bad.com/fakelogin.
Never redirect a client based on user input found in a GET request. It is recommended that the list
of target links to redirect a user to are contained server side, and retrieved using a numerical value
as an index to return the link to be redirected to. For example, /redirect?id=1 would cause the
application to look up the 1 index and return a URL such as https://example.com. This URL would
then be used to redirect the user, using the 301 response code and Location header.
