domains in Taobao's whitelist, e.g.
apple.com

If this is true, the redirection will be allowed.

However, if the URLs in a redirected domain have open URL redirection
vulnerabilities themselves, a user could be redirected from Taobao to a
vulnerable URL in that domain first and later be redirected from this
vulnerable site to a malicious site. This is as if being redirected from
Taobao directly.

vulnerabilities. Those vulnerabilities details will be published in the
