import { test, expect } from '@playwright/test'; /** * E2E Test: Open Redirect Protection * * User Story: US3 - Protected Routes with Validated Redirects * Task: T012 * * **Purpose**: Verify that the application prevents open redirect vulnerabilities * by validating redirect URLs and only allowing same-origin paths * * **Security Context**: * Open redirect vulnerabilities occur when an attacker can control where a user * is redirected after authentication. This can be used for phishing attacks by * redirecting users to malicious sites that look like the legitimate application. * * **Acceptance Criteria**: * - AC-1: External URLs (https://evil.com) are rejected and user redirects to /dashboard * - AC-2: Protocol-relative URLs (//evil.com) are rejected and user redirects to /dashboard * - AC-3: Valid same-origin paths (/projects, /tasks) are allowed * - AC-4: Invalid redirect types (null, undefined, numbers) fallback to /dashboard * - AC-5: No redirect parameter defaults to /dashboard * * **Technical Implementation**: * - Uses validateRedirect() utility function * - Validates on login page before setting redirectPath * - Only allows paths starting with / but not // * - Fallback to /dashboard for any invalid input * * **Test Flow**: * 1. Navigate to /login with malicious redirect parameter * 2. Complete OAuth authentication * 3. Verify redirect to /dashboard (NOT malicious URL) * * **OWASP Reference**: * https://cheatsheetseries.owasp.org/cheatsheets/Unvalidated_Redirects_and_Forwards_Cheat_Sheet.html */ test.describe('Open Redirect Protection', () => { /** * Helper function to simulate OAuth login * Sets up mock auth state in localStorage and navigates to trigger auth flow */ async function mockOAuthLogin(page: any) { await page.evaluate(() => { const mockAuthData = { token: 'mock-jwt-token', record: { id: 'test-user-id', email: 'test@example.com', name: 'Test User', emailVisibility: false, verified: true, avatar: '', created: new Date().toISOString(), updated: new Date().toISOString() } };

Redirect validation happens BEFORE OAuth callback * 2. OAuth state parameter is not affected by redirect validation * 3. Validation is consistent across all OAuth providers * 4. Error messages don't leak validation logic to attackers * * MANUAL TESTING PROCEDURE: * * 1. Open browser dev tools (Network tab) * 2. Navigate to: http://localhost:3000/login?redirect=https://evil.com * 3. Complete OAuth login * 4. Verify redirect to /dashboard (check Network tab for redirect chain) * 5. Verify URL bar shows http://localhost:3000/dashboard (NOT evil.com) * 6. Repeat with different malicious payloads from test suite */
