How it was found
An open redirect is an application that takes a parameter and redirects a user to the parameter value without any validation. This vulnerability is used in phishing attacks to get users to visit malicious sites without realizing it.
Steps to reproduce:
- Go to this URL:
https://slack.com/checkcookie?redir=http://www.likelo.com
Proper checks should be there on the redir parameter that should only allow to redirect on slack.com URL.
Please have a look.
