I've an ASP.NET web application project that I scan through the Fortify Source Analyzer v3.1.
The web project contains an ASPX that has a case where it redirects to itself.
The code is:
Response.Redirect(Request.Url.ToString());
Fortify classifies that as OWASP A10 and CWE / SANS ID 601 issue. I don't understand the vulnerability -- it seems that we're redirecting to a very specific place ... the current URL.
Why is that considered bad?
Thanks in advance.
