open-redirect.js

• [High]Prevent Open Redirect Vulnerabilities
  The code allows an attacker to redirect a user to a malicious site via specially crafted input passed to the 'input' variable. Validate input using a white list of accepted values rather than a black list of possible malicious values.

Replace $window.location.href = input with a function that builds an expected target URL from the input and rejects the redirection if it differs.

• [Low]Avoid using triple 'location' keyword assignments to variables
  The code sets 'test' value to the variable named 'location'. Replace the variable name with something else like 'test_location'.
