    Seeing as we're paving over federal websites left and right, maybe we can finally address the issue of open redirects on .gov websites? This isn't a new issue and it's not going away. But probably we shouldn't see dozens of pages of porn results all getting indexed by search engines by abusing redirects on the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) website, for example:

    https://www.google.com/search?q=site:cdc.gov&client=ubuntu-sn&hs=V5N&sca_esv=4986d38ff6c52357&channel=fs&source=lnt&tbs=qdr:d&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjU0c2NnciLAxV6STABHey_JpoQpwV6BAgDEAg&biw=1658&bih=863&dpr=1

    whoa, that appears to be a compromised azure app on that subdomain. If you fetch one of the URLs with curl, it straight up returns xxx HTML, it's not even redirecting first.

Hi, I'm Aaron Parecki, Director of Identity Standards at Okta, and co-founder of IndieWebCamp. I maintain oauth.net, write and consult about OAuth, and participate in the OAuth Working Group at the IETF. I also help people learn about video production and livestreaming. (detailed bio)

I've been tracking my location since 2008 and I wrote 100 songs in 100 days. I've spoken at conferences around the world about owning your data, OAuth, quantified self, and explained why R is a vowel. Read more.
