Summary
The detection rule targets potential open redirect vulnerabilities by analyzing inbound messages for indications of exploitation related to the domain 'magiccity.ne.jp'. It identifies instances where the body of a message contains links pointing to this specific domain, particularly looking for URLs that include the path '/rl_out.cgi' and query parameters that contain 'url='. A crucial aspect of the rule is that it checks if these constructed URLs do not conform to a safe format that limits the redirection to legitimate domains or paths. The rule aims to filter out messages coming from trusted domains that fail DMARC authentication, increasing its sensitivity to malicious redirections while allowing legitimate traffic from verified senders. Overall, this rule is designed to mitigate risks associated with credential phishing and malware distribution via URL redirection exploits, highlighting the need for careful monitoring of domain interactions in email communication.
