Audit redirect and navigation flows where an untrusted return, next, or callback URL, a stored value, or a referer drives a server redirect, a client-side location assignment, or a meta refresh to an attacker-chosen destination, enabling phishing, credential capture on a lookalike page, or theft of an OAuth code or token carried on the redirect. Use when a parameter or stored value controls where a user is sent after login, logout, an action, or an authorization step. Covers protocol-relative…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Auditing open redirect and forced navigation: when the app sends the user wherever the URL says

An application constantly sends users onward: back to where they were after login, to a success page after
an action, to an identity provider and back during authorization. When the destination comes from an
untrusted parameter, a stored value, or a header, and the app redirects there without confirming it is one
of its own pages, the app becomes a trusted springboard to an attacker's site. The link starts on the real
domain, so it survives a glance and a mail filter, and lands on a lookalike login that harvests
credentials. Worse, when the redirect carries an authorization code or a token in the URL, forcing the
destination steals that secret outright. The bug is not the redirect feature; it is a destination taken
from the request and trusted without an allowlist. You find it by locating every redirect and navigation
and asking whether an attacker chooses where it goes.

## When to use

- A return, next, redirect, callback, or continue parameter controls where a user is sent after an action.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add unboundcompute/security-agent-skills/auditing-open-redirect-and-forced-navigation@sha256:19ea0aa76c85037e

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260903.6dac719, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
