In internet security, an open redirect is a type of computer security vulnerability found in web applications.[1][2]

Attack

An application can be exploited if it parses user input for making an URL redirection decision, which is then not properly validated.[1]

An example or this attack on a example.com would be https://example.com/login&redirect=https://badwebsite.com
