Summary
This detection rule identifies attempts to exploit an open redirect vulnerability involving Cartoon Network's Denmark domain. Open redirects can be leveraged by attackers to redirect users to malicious sites, often used in phishing attacks. The rule is triggered when an inbound request contains a link pointing to the Cartoon Network domain with a specific configuration: it must be the subdomain 'www', the path must start with '//' and end with a '/'. Such patterns in URLs can indicate potential phishing attempts where users may be tricked into visiting a malicious site disguised as a legitimate one. The risk associated with open redirects is significant, as they can evade security filters and facilitate the redirection of users, making them a prevalent technique in spam and credential theft attacks.
