Exam CFR-310 topic 1 question 90 discussion

A. Application Explanation: URL redirection attacks (also known as open redirect attacks) occur when a web application improperly processes URLs provided as user input, allowing attackers to redirect users to malicious sites. To mitigate this, the application should implement proper input validation and limit URL redirection to trusted domains. Incorrect Responses: B. Users: Users can be trained on recognizing suspicious URLs, but the vulnerability originates from the application's handling of URLs, not user behavior. C. Network infrastructure: While important for overall security, network infrastructure doesn't directly address URL redirection vulnerabilities. D. Configuration files: Misconfigured files could cause other issues, but URL redirection attacks are generally related to how the application processes URLs.
