Mitigation

Allowlisted Redirects

```php
<?php
**$allowed_urls = [
    'success.php',**
];

if (isset($_GET['url']) && in_array($_GET['url'], $allowed_urls)) {
    header("Location: " . $_GET['url']);
    exit();
} else {
    echo "Invalid URL provided.";
}
```

Absolute URL Validation

```php
<?php
if (isset($_GET['url'])) {
    $url = $_GET['url'];
    $parsed_url = parse_url($url);

    if ($parsed_url['host'] === 'yourdomain.com') {
        header("Location: " . $url);
        exit();
    } else {
        echo "Invalid URL provided.";
    }
} else {
    echo "No URL provided.";
}

```
