The rule identifies potential exploitation of open redirects utilizing VK (VKontakte) links, specifically when the sender domain is not VK.com. An open redirect occurs when a web application accepts a user-supplied URL and redirects the client to that URL, which can be exploited by attackers to trick users into visiting malicious sites. The rule checks inbound messages for any links that lead to VK's '/away.php' path. If such links are present, and the sender's email domain does not match VK.com, the message is flagged due to the risk of credential phishing or malware distribution. This detection mechanism is crucial as it helps in recognizing attempts where attackers misuse popular services like VK to redirect victims without proper authorization, making them more likely to fall for scams or malicious campaigns.
