## Methodology of the attack - example
## Methodology - Caching Sensitive Data
**Example 1** - Web Cache Deception on PayPal Home Page
1. Normal browsing, visit home : `https://www.example.com/myaccount/home/` 1. Normal browsing, visit home : `https://www.example.com/myaccount/home/`
2. Open the malicious link : `https://www.example.com/myaccount/home/malicious.css` 2. Open the malicious link : `https://www.example.com/myaccount/home/malicious.css`
3. The page is displayed as /home and the cache is saving the page 3. The page is displayed as /home and the cache is saving the page
4. Open a private tab with the previous URL : `https://www.paypal.com/myaccount/home/malicous.css` 4. Open a private tab with the previous URL : `https://www.example.com/myaccount/home/malicous.css`
5. The content of the cache is displayed 5. The content of the cache is displayed

## Methodology 2 **Example 2** - Web Cache Deception on OpenAI
1. Attacker crafts a dedicated .css path of the `/api/auth/session` endpoint.
2. Attacker distributes the link
3. Victims visit the legitimate link.
4. Response is cached.
5. Attacker harvests JWT Credentials.
## Methodology - Caching Custom JavaScript
1. Find an un-keyed input for a Cache Poisoning 1. Find an un-keyed input for a Cache Poisoning

## CloudFlare Caching
CloudFlare caches the resource when the `Cache-Control` header is set to `public` and `max-age` is greater than 0.
- The Cloudflare CDN does not cache HTML by default
- Cloudflare only caches based on file extension and not by MIME type: [cloudflare/default-cache-behavior](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cache/about/default-cache-behavior/)
CloudFlare has a list of default extensions that gets cached behind their Load Balancers.
