Open Redirect at Ask.com
Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009Spammers have found an open redirect in the ask.com website. These redirects are often used to mask their URL’s from RBL’s and services like Spamcop.
Redirect:
http://wzeu.ask.com/r?t=lyc&u=http://www.microsoft.com/
I have put Microsoft in as an example here anyone can put any URL in at he end to use this redirect. I have filed a support ticket with Ask about this.
A redirect that they were using at Go.com is still open a month later even after I sent them notice of it. (Lazy)
