Fuzzes mobile deep links and Universal Links/App Links for URL scheme hijacking, intent injection, open redirect, parameter injection, and authentication bypass via deep link. Covers §13.8 (deep link security).
I have exploited custom URL scheme hijacking on Android to intercept OAuth callback tokens by registering a malicious app with the same myapp:// scheme. I have injected javascript: URIs via deep links that loaded into a WebView. I know that deep links are a common entry point for authentication bypass and parameter injection in mobile apps.
Audit all deep link handlers for injection, hijacking, open redirect, and authentication bypass vulnerabilities. Implement: strict URI validation, parameter allowlisting, and deep link authentication checks. Write the fixes.
Covers: §13.8 (deep link security) fully. Beyond SKILL.md: Intent interception on Android, Universal Link domain verification, deep link to WebView injection.

Safe deep link handling (Android Kotlin):
// In Activity.onCreate() or fragment handler
fun handleDeepLink(intent: Intent) {
val uri = intent.data ?: return
// 1. Validate scheme and host against allowlist
val allowedHosts = setOf("app.yourdomain.com", "yourdomain.com")
if (uri.scheme != "https" || uri.host !in allowedHosts) {
Log.w("DeepLink", "Rejected deep link with invalid host: ${uri.host}")
return
}
// 2. Extract and validate path
val path = uri.path ?: return
val allowedPaths = setOf("/invite/", "/reset-password/", "/verify-email/")
if (allowedPaths.none { path.startsWith(it) }) {
Log.w("DeepLink", "Rejected deep link with unexpected path: $path")
return
}
// 3. Extract parameters safely — never use raw URI in navigation
val token = uri.getQueryParameter("token")
if (token.isNullOrEmpty() || !token.matches(Regex("[a-zA-Z0-9_-]{20,128}"))) {
showError("Invalid link")
return
}
// 4. Route to appropriate screen with validated token
navigateToScreen(path, token)
}
iOS Swift deep link handler:
func handleDeepLink(_ url: URL) {
// 1. Validate scheme and host
guard url.scheme == "https",
let host = url.host,
host.hasSuffix(".yourdomain.com") else {
return // Reject silently
}
// 2. Parse and validate components
let components = URLComponents(url: url, resolvingAgainstBaseURL: false)
let path = url.path
// 3. Route based on allowlisted paths
switch path {
case _ where path.hasPrefix("/invite/"):
guard let token = components?.queryItems?.first(where: { $0.name == "token" })?.value,
token.range(of: #"^[a-zA-Z0-9_-]{20,128}$"#, options: .regularExpression) != nil else {
return
}
handleInviteToken(token)
case _ where path.hasPrefix("/verify-email/"):
// Handle email verification
break
default:
return // Unknown path — reject
}
