A burp extention to find host header injection vulnerabilities

Host Header Inchecktion

This burp extension helps to find host header injection vulnerabilities by actively testing a set of injection types. A scan issue is created if an injection was successful.

Features

• Active Scanner
• Manually select a request to check multiple types of host header injections.
• Collaborator payload: Inject a collaborator string to check for server-side request forgery.
• Localhost payload: Inject the string "localhost" to check for restricted feature bypass.
• Canary payload (only manual): Inject a canary to check for host header reflection which can lead to cache poisoning.

Usage

Run an active scan or manually select a request to check:

1. Go to the HTTP history.
2. Right-click on the request you want to check.
3. Extension -> Host Header Inchecktion -> payload type
4. In case of a successful injection a scan issue is generated.
