Swfupload movie name cross site scripting vulnerability lỗi năm 2024
Cross-site scripting (XSS) is a type of attack that can be carried out to compromise users of a website. The exploitation of a XSS flaw enables attackers to inject client-side scripts into web pages viewed by users. Listed as one of the OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities, XSS is the most common vulnerability submitted on the Detectify Crowdsource platform therefore a security risk our tool continually checks for. Show Cross-site scripting: What can happen?The attacker may:
A notable XSS attack was the Tweetdeck XSS worm published in 2014. It allowed the attacker to spread his malicious payload to all Tweetdeck users via Twitter, hence causing a mass compromise of Twitter accounts. XSS Proof-of-Concept video:Example of Cross-site scripting (XSS)To show how the vulnerability works, let’s look at an example. Say you have a search box on your site. If there is no result, the site should say “Could not find any pages when searching for [what the user searched for].”. Doing this in PHP it might look something like this:
}
?>This would, in other words, output the user supplied data (the search query) straight into the HTML document. If the search query contains HTML, the user’s web browser will render it. Imagine an attacker sends a link like the following to a victim: http://example.com/search.php?query= Solution CSS hex encode the value. Javascript variableExample Solution Quote around variable and hex encode. Prevent line breaks. DOM XSSExample http://example.com/search.php?query= 0 Solution Sanitize using a library written in the language you use. Enforce the use of safer functions whenever applicable (e. g. innerText instead of innerHTML). Be very careful when determining what data is allowed to be printed. It’s better to have a whitelist of allowed characters than a blacklist. For a more extensive list of tips, see OWASP XSS prevention tips.
