Impact

New researchers can be further deceived if they click on the hijacked link.

A specific case might be for a malicious user to create a fake account on that broken redirection link and deceive researchers arriving on that link. For example, the attacker can ask the researcher to submit his report to him first and if he approves, then only he can submit it to your official page. In this way, it can cause huge damage to your company if a critical severity report is mis-directed to the attacker.
