Hi,

Sorry, but this is expected behavior and not eligible under our bounty
program. This endpoint contains a specialized parameter that limits its
usage to a small number of computers and users, preventing it from being
used as a completely open redirect. For more detailed background
information, please see this note by one of the engineers on the product:

Thanks! Please let us know if you have any further questions.
