JavaFest. Nanne Baars. Web application security for developers
- 1. SECURITY FOR DEVELOPERS Nanne Baars
- 2. About me ¨ Java developer ¨ Developer à Security consultant à Developer ¨ Project lead of WebGoat à https://github.com/WebGoat/
- 3. WebGoat is… ¨ A deliberately vulnerable web application maintained by OWASP designed to teach web application security lessons. ¨ In each lesson, users must demonstrate their understanding of a security issue by exploiting a real vulnerability in the WebGoat application
- 10. - Examples - Background - How to prevent
- 20. Within projects as developers… ¨ Make sure secrets do not end up in Git ¤ Encrypt your secrets (for example like Travis CI) ¤ More fancy use Vault, KeyCloak etc ¨ Use tooling to scan your repository ¨ Define a policy what should be done in case it happens ¤ Git history
- 21. As a team… ¨ Think about what to do when a team member leaves… ¤ Think about how many systems you have access to, is the access to AWS, Kubernetes, Github, Gitlab, Jira etc centrally provided? ¨ Again, have a clear policy in place
- 22. Easy to automate
- 23. Cryptography
- 24. private static final byte[] ENCRYPT_IV = { 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0 }; public static String encrypt(String dataPassword, String cleartext) throws Exception { IvParameterSpec zeroIv = new IvParameterSpec(ENCRYPT_IV); SecretKeySpec key = new SecretKeySpec(dataPassword.getBytes(), "AES"); Cipher cipher = Cipher.getInstance("AES"); cipher.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, key, zeroIv); … } private static final byte[] ENCRYPT_IV = { 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0 }; public static String encrypt(String dataPassword, String cleartext) throws Exception { IvParameterSpec zeroIv = new IvParameterSpec(ENCRYPT_IV); SecretKeySpec key = new SecretKeySpec(dataPassword.getBytes(), "AES"); Cipher cipher = Cipher.getInstance("AES"); cipher.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, key, zeroIv); … }
- 26. “In this post I will show you how to use RSA in Java…..” public static String encrypt(String plainText, PublicKey publicKey) { Cipher encryptCipher = Cipher.getInstance("RSA"); encryptCipher.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, publicKey); byte[] cipherText = encryptCipher.doFinal(plainText.getBytes(UTF_8)); return Base64.getEncoder().encodeToString(cipherText); }
- 27. public static void main(String [] args) throws Exception { // generate public and private keys … // sign the message byte [] signed = encrypt(privateKey, "This is a secret message"); System.out.println(new String(signed)); // <<signed message>> // verify the message byte[] verified = decrypt(pubKey, encrypted); System.out.println(new String(verified)); // This is a secret message } public static byte[] encrypt(PrivateKey privateKey, String message) { Cipher cipher = Cipher.getInstance("RSA"); cipher.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, privateKey); return cipher.doFinal(message.getBytes()); } public static byte[] decrypt(PublicKey publicKey, byte [] encrypted) { Cipher cipher = Cipher.getInstance("RSA"); cipher.init(Cipher.DECRYPT_MODE, publicKey); return cipher.doFinal(encrypted); }
- 29. Solution - Libsodium or Google Tink
- 31. Path traversal ¨ A path(directory) traversal is a vulnerability where an attacker is able to access or store files and directories outside the location where the application is running. ¨ For example: http://example.com/file=report.pdf ¨ Change into: http://example.com/file=../../../../../etc/passwd ¨ In case of a file upload you might be able to overwrite other files
- 34. Mitigation in file upload var multiPartFile = ... var targetFile = new File("/tmp", multiPartFile.getOriginalName()); var canonicalPath = targetFile.getCanonicalPath(); if (!canonicalPath.startWith("/tmp") { throw new IllegalArgumentException("Invalid filename"); } IOUtils.copy(multiPartFile.getBytes(), targetFile);
- 35. Input validation ¨ Check for ../ ¨ Be aware of encoding: %2e%2e/%2f ¨ Spring Security has: StrictHttpFirewall which automatically drops a request if the path variable contains ../
- 36. @Getter("/f") public void f(@RequestParam("name") String name) { //name is automatically decoded so %2E%2E%2F%2E%2E%2Ftest //will become ../../test } @Getter("/g") public void g(HttpServletRequest request) { var queryString = request.getQueryString(); // will return %2E%2E%2F%2E%2E%2Ftest } @Getter("/h") public void h(HttpServletRequest request) { var name = request.getParam("name"); //will return ../../test
- 37. Host-Header Injection ¨ In web applications, developers use the HTTP Host header available in HTTP request ¨ A remote attacker can exploit this by sending a fake header with a domain name under the attackers control.
- 38. Often found during password reset curl 'https://webgoat-cloud.net/create-password-reset-link' --data-raw 'email=test1234@webgoat-cloud.net'
- 39. Let’s do that again… curl 'http://webgoat-cloud.net/create-password-reset-link' -H'Host: attacker.com' --data-raw 'email=test1234@webgoat.org'
- 42. Example 2: Azure Authentication / Spring Boot Example.com
- 43. Easy to setup ¨ Standard Spring Boot / Azure auto configuration provided 1. Register your application with your Azure Active Directory Tenant 2. Configure application.properties spring.security.oauth2.client.registration.azure.client-id=xxxxxx-your-client-id-xxxxxx spring.security.oauth2.client.registration.azure.client-secret=xxxxxx-your-client-secret-xxxxxx azure.activedirectory.tenant-id=xxxxxx-your-tenant-id-xxxxxx azure.activedirectory.active-directory-groups=group1, group2
- 44. Spring Boot configuration ¨ We enabled this setting in the application.properties: server.use-forward-headers=true
- 45. curl -i http://localhost:8080 HTTP/1.1 302 Found Location: http://localhost:8080/oauth2/authorization/azure curl -i http://localhost:8080/oauth2/authorization/azure HTTP/1.1 302 Found Location: https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/authorize?response_type=code https://graph.microsoft.com/user.read&state=& redirect_uri=http://localhost:8080/login/oauth2/code/azure
- 46. Now let’s try curl -i -H"X-Forwarded-Host: attacker.com" http://localhost:8080/ HTTP/1.1 302 Found Location: http://attacker.com/oauth2/authorization/azure
- 47. But wait how does the redirect_uri work? curl -i http://localhost:8080/oauth2/authorization/azure HTTP/1.1 302 Found Location: https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/authorize?response_type=codehttps://graph. microsoft.com/user.read&state=&redirect_uri=http://localhost:8080/login/oauth2/code/azure spring.security.oauth2.client.registration.azure.redirect-uri-template={baseUrl}/login/oauth2/code/{registrationId}
- 48. curl -i -H"X-Forwarded-Host: attacker.com" http://localhost:8080/oauth2/authorization/azure HTTP/1.1 302 Found Location: https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/authorize?response_type=code https://graph.microsoft.com/user.read&state=& redirect_uri=http://attacker.com/login/oauth2/code/azure
- 49. (Un)fortunately this does not work J https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6749#section-10.6
- 51. Recap ¨ This is not a bug in Spring security ¨ Something which happened because we added: server.use-forward-headers=true
- 52. Solution /** * <p> * Determines which hostnames should be allowed. The default is to allow any * hostname. * </p> * * @param allowedHostnames the predicate for testing hostnames * @since 5.2 */ public void setAllowedHostnames(Predicate<String> allowedHostnames) { if (allowedHostnames == null) { throw new IllegalArgumentException("allowedHostnames cannot be null"); } this.allowedHostnames = allowedHostnames; }
- 53. @Bean public HttpFirewall firewall() { StrictHttpFirewall firewall = new StrictHttpFirewall(); firewall.setAllowedHttpMethods(Arrays.asList("GET", "POST")); firewall.setAllowedHostnames(s -> s.equals("localhost")); curl -i -H"X-Forwarded-Host: attacker.com" http://localhost:8080/ java.lang.RuntimeException: org.springframework.security.web.firewall.RequestRejectedException: The request was rejected because the domain attacker.com is untrusted. at io.undertow.servlet.spec.RequestDispatcherImpl.error(RequestDispatcherImpl.java:507) at io.undertow.servlet.spec.RequestDispatcherImpl.error(RequestDispatcherImpl.java:427)
- 54. Solution ¨ As developers we are responsible to validate those headers ¨ Verify all headers you can receive from the outside. ¤ This includes: X-Forwarded-For, X-Forwarded-Host etc ¨ Do not rely on thinking reversed proxy will solve this! ¨ Check to see whether the framework has built in protection
- 55. Where to start... 1. Make developers security aware n Code review n Practice / learn / adapt 2. Adopt a security guideline in your team 3. Test your own application 4. Start using tools to find to most obvious mistakes
