We take the security of this project seriously. If you discover a security vulnerability, please follow the responsible disclosure guidelines outlined below.

If you find a security issue in our scripts, tools, or documentation:

1. DO NOT open a public GitHub issue
2. Email the maintainers directly at: [Your contact email]
3. Include detailed information about the vulnerability
4. Allow reasonable time for a fix before public disclosure

Please provide the following information in your report:

• Description: Clear description of the vulnerability
• Impact: Potential impact and severity
• Steps to Reproduce: Detailed steps to reproduce the issue
• Proof of Concept: Code or commands demonstrating the vulnerability
• Suggested Fix: If you have recommendations for fixing the issue
• Your Contact Information: For follow-up questions

• Initial Response: Within 48 hours
• Status Update: Within 7 days
• Fix Timeline: Varies based on severity
  • Critical: Within 7 days
  • High: Within 14 days
  • Medium: Within 30 days
  • Low: Next scheduled release

1. Authorization First

   • Only test applications you have explicit permission to test
   • Obtain written authorization before security testing
   • Respect bug bounty program rules and scope

2. Responsible Testing

   • Use appropriate rate limiting
   • Don't overwhelm target servers
   • Test during off-peak hours when possible
   • Use your own test domains (don't use evil.com in production)

3. Data Protection

   • Don't include sensitive data in payloads
   • Secure your test results
   • Don't share unauthorized vulnerability findings publicly

4. Legal Compliance

   • Comply with local laws and regulations
   • Understand CFAA (Computer Fraud and Abuse Act) or equivalent
   • Follow responsible disclosure practices

Our testing scripts are designed with safety in mind:

• No Exploitation: Scripts only test for vulnerabilities, they don't exploit them
• SSL Verification: Warnings are disabled only for testing flexibility
• Timeout Protection: Default timeouts prevent hanging requests
• Rate Limiting: Configurable thread counts for respectful testing

When using the Python script:

# Good practice - reasonable settings
python test_open_redirect.py \
  -u "https://authorized-target.com" \
  -t 5 \
  --timeout 10

When using the Bash script:

# Good practice - with output logging
./quick_test.sh \
  -u "https://authorized-target.com" \
  -t 5 \
  -o results.txt

The following are known limitations and NOT security vulnerabilities:

1. False Positives: Some payloads may trigger false positives
2. SSL Warnings Disabled: This is intentional for testing flexibility
3. No Authentication: Scripts don't handle authenticated testing
4. Rate Limiting: Scripts may be blocked by WAF/rate limiting

• Scripts test for vulnerabilities but don't exploit them
• Payloads are educational and for authorized testing only
• No sensitive data collection or transmission
• No persistence or system modification

• Authorized penetration testing
• Bug bounty hunting within scope
• Security research with permission
• Educational purposes in controlled environments
• Testing your own applications

• Unauthorized testing of any system
• Malicious exploitation
• Harassment or harm
• Illegal activities
• Violating terms of service

This tool is provided for educational and authorized security testing purposes only.

• Users are solely responsible for their actions
• Unauthorized access to systems is illegal
• The authors are not liable for misuse
• Always obtain proper authorization

• USA: Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA)

• EU: GDPR and national cybercrime laws
• International: Local cybercrime legislation

Our Python script uses:

• requests - For HTTP operations
• urllib3 - For URL handling
• colorama - For terminal colors

# Update dependencies regularly
pip install --upgrade requests urllib3 colorama

# Check for vulnerabilities
pip install safety
safety check

All payloads in this repository are:

• Non-malicious: No actual exploitation code
• Safe to use: Won't harm systems when used properly
• Educational: Designed for learning and testing
• Authorized use only: Require explicit permission

Some payloads include JavaScript or Data URIs:

• These are for testing purposes only
• Replace with safe test cases for production testing
• Always sanitize when creating test cases

Example safe testing:

// Replace alert(1) with safe test
javascript:console.log('test')

If you discover someone misusing this tool:

1. Report to GitHub if it violates their terms
2. Contact local authorities for illegal activities
3. Notify the affected party if possible
4. Document the incident

1. Assessment: Evaluate severity and impact
2. Development: Create and test fixes
3. Release: Deploy patches promptly
4. Notification: Inform users of critical updates
5. Documentation: Update security advisories

• Watch the repository for security updates
• Check CHANGELOG.md regularly
• Follow security best practices

For security concerns:

• GitHub Issues: For non-sensitive questions (use security label)
• Email: For sensitive vulnerability reports
• Discussions: For general security questions

We appreciate responsible security researchers who:

• Report vulnerabilities privately
• Allow time for fixes
• Follow coordinated disclosure
• Help improve security
