JSONDecodeError when using sslyze 4.0.4

d-steffan opened this issue Β· comments

faraday-cli: 1.0.2
sslyze: 4.0.4

The checked webserver exists and calling sslyze without faraday-cli returns valid results. The JSON at /usr/bin/faraday-cli/None is saved and contains valid data.

faraday-cli sslyze 127.0.0.1:8834
πŸ’» Processing Sslyze JSON command

<sslyze stuff>

       Wrote JSON output to "/usr/bin/faraday-cli/None".
EXCEPTION of type 'JSONDecodeError' occurred with message: 'Expecting value: line 2 column 2 (char 2)'

The first few lines (head) of the JSON file are:

{
    "server_connectivity_errors": [],
    "server_scan_results": [
        {
            "scan_commands": [
                "certificate_info",
                "elliptic_curves",
                "heartbleed",
                "openssl_ccs_injection",
                "robot",

In case the char used for indentation is the problem, heres the hexdump of head:

You executed a sslyze command and that generated the error and created a file called "/usr/bin/faraday-cli/None"??

Can you send us the full command (change the domain or other sensitive information)?

if i process_report it also fails unless i change the extension to .json:

[ws:testcli]> process_report /usr/bin/faraday-cli/None
❌ Failed to detect report: /usr/bin/faraday-cli/None
[ws:testcli]> shell mv /usr/bin/faraday-cli/None /usr/bin/faraday-cli/None.json
[ws:testcli]> process_report /usr/bin/faraday-cli/None.json
πŸ“„ Processing Sslyze JSON report
⬆ Sending data to workspace: testcli
βœ” Done

unfortunately setting the json_out in sslyze doesn't work for faraday, it always exports the file as "None"

the full command is in my first comment:

seems like faraday-cli overwrites --json_out ?

Yes, the plugins generally modifiy the commands to send the output files to a specific place.
So the output can be parsed after.
Les me see the issue here, its probably a bug in the sslyze plugin and not the cli

@d-steffan Yes the bug is in the plugin.
Here is a way to debug, with faraday-plugin you can test a command and see the modified command without executing it.

faraday-plugins process-command -dr "sslyze 127.0.0.1:8834"
Command:  sslyze --json_out None 127.0.0.1:8834

Look how it changes the command but is sets None as the output.

For a workaround run the command manually and us process_report like you did in the example.
I will open an issue in faraday-plugins.
Thanks

Alright, thanks for the quick response and have a nice day!

@d-steffan I have fixed the issue, run

pip install -U faraday-plugins
