# Unvalidated redirects and forwards | ||
|
||
### What is it? | ||
[OWASP] says that it is linking to a destination without proper validation that leads to unauthorized page. Attacker might redirect victim to phishing webpage and steal the credentials. | ||
|
||
### Attack vector | ||
Need to fill info here !! | ||
|
||
### How to Prevent it? | ||
- From security perspective, redirects should not be used in websites. | ||
- If redirects are necessary, then try providing the direct links instead of calculating the destination. | ||
- If direct links also could not be used, then do the manipulation on server-side with proper validation. | ||
- Users of a website should pay attention to the URL before clicking. | ||
