Web Security - OWASP - SQL injection & Cross Site Scripting XSS
4 likes1,929 views
XSS vulnerabilities allow attackers to inject malicious scripts into web pages viewed by other users. There are three main types: stored XSS injects scripts into stored data like forums; reflected XSS uses malicious links; DOM-based XSS modifies the DOM. Successful XSS can steal users' cookies and passwords, hijack sessions, deface websites, and distribute malware. Developers can prevent XSS by escaping untrusted data, using safe templating systems, and implementing a content security policy.
Web Security - OWASP - SQL injection & Cross Site Scripting XSS
- 1. Security App. web Ivan Ortega Benjamin Porta
- 2. A1: SQL Injection SQL injection is a technique where malicious users can inject SQL commands into an SQL statement, via web page input. Injected SQL commands can alter SQL statement and compromise the security of a web application. SQL injection is considered one of the top 10 web application vulnerabilities of 2007 and 2010
- 3. WARNING In its most common form, a SQL injection attack gives access to sensitive information such as social security numbers, credit card numbers or other financial data. SQL injection is one of the most prevalent types of web application security vulnerability.
- 4. Reasons Incorrectly filtered escape characters Incorrect type handling ' OR '1'='1' -- ' OR '1'='1' ({ ' OR '1'='1' /* 1;DROP TABLE users
- 5. Preventing SQL Injection 1 / 2 ● Adopt an input validation technique in which user input is authenticated against a set of defined rules for length, type and syntax. ● Users with the permission to access the database must have the least privileges. Also, you should always make sure that a database user is created only for a specific application and this user is not able to access other applications.
- 6. Preventing SQL Injection 2 / 2 ● Use strongly typed parameterized query APIs with placeholder substitution markers, even when calling stored procedures. ● Show care when using stored procedures can be injectable (such as via the use of exec() or concatenating arguments within the stored procedure).
- 7. Environment / Context 1/3 CLIENT SERVER (php) SQLClient send data to server
- 8. Environment / Context 2/3 CLIENT SERVER (php) SQL You must verify data before sending them to server
- 9. Environment / Context 3/3 CLIENT SERVER (php) SQLData are sent to server (treated with php) and then, they are sent to client SQL can protect from DROP and ALTER if parametrized
- 10. Example 1: Injection 1/3 This program is web page link to an SQL database which show the list of movies present in database and allow anyone to add a new entry in database. Movie 1: Normal use case
- 11. Example 1: Injection 2/3 But we can easily attack this web page because server doesn't check presence of javascript from inputs added by users. We will show an example of possible attack (injection of javascript code) on this web page. With this attack, each client is affected !!! Movie 1: Attack use case
- 12. Example 1: Injection 3/3 To prevent of this kind of attack, we have to block all the javascript which provide from user, to do it, it's very simple, we have to use a specific method from php, strip_tags(). It remove tags "<" and ">" but also tags like "<" and ">" Movie 1: Prevent use case
- 13. Example 2: SQL Injection 1/3 This program is a web page link to an SQL database that show the list of users present in database and allow anyone to subscribe. If you are subscribed, you can log in. Movie 2: Normal use case
- 14. Example 2: SQL Injection 2/3 The attack consist in connect and steal all personal informations of an user with his login but without his password. It’s simple, a request look like this: $query = "SELECT * FROM user WHERE pseudo='".$p."' AND mdp='".$pass."' "; So attacker can inject a code after his pseudo (' -- ) and the end of the request SQL will be interpreted as: SELECT * FROM user WHERE pseudo='PSEUDO' -- AND mdp='WHATYOUWANT' As you can see, AND mdp='...' is interpreted as a commentary! Movie 2: Attack use case
- 15. Example 2: SQL Injection 3/3 To prevent of this kind of attack, use: mysqli_real_escape_string() or bin2hex() $link = mysqli_connect("127.0.0.1", "root", "", "secuweb"); $login = mysqli_real_escape_string($link,$login); $user = $ins->getUserFromPseudoAndPassword($login,$pass); Then, the input string change and replace ' -- to ' -- Movie 2: Prevent use case
- 16. Exemple 3: SQL Injection* 1/2 In reality, a lot of problems induced by SQL injection are already fixed. For example in php, you can’t submit multiple request to mysql without using mysqli->multi_query Probably because it is very dangerous. You can modify data, table and also delete them. For this example, mysqli_real_escape_string is deactivated. Movie 3: Multi-request attack
- 17. Exemple 3: SQL Injection* 2/2 Allow only what is necessary to an user, it can prevent a lot of actions
- 18. About SQL injection Finally, it’s not difficult to prevent from SQL injection, problem provides from webmaster because they don’t check all cases of possible attack. There is a lot of way to secure data inputted like methods quoted before or others as preparation of request with bindParam. FIN de la partie 1

- 25. Types of Cross-Site Scripting Stored XSS (Persistent or Type I) Reflected XSS (Non-Persistent or Type II) DOM Based XSS (Type-0)
- 26. Stored XSS Most frequent vulnerabilities sites: where user input is stored on the target server, such as in a database, in a message forum, visitor log, comment field, etc. Attacker use this input to inject The injected script is permanently stored on the target servers. The victim then retrieves the malicious script from the server when it requests the stored information.
- 28. StoredXSS
- 29. Reflected XSS The injected script is reflected off the web server, such as response that includes some or all of the input sent to the server as part of the request Reflected attacks are delivered to victims via another route, such as in an e-mail message, or on some other web site.
- 30. Reflected XSS Then the user click on a malicious link that contain XSS injection as part of request to “trusted site” which reflects the attack back to the user’s browser. The browser then executes the code because it came from a "trusted" server.
- 33. DOM Based XSS It’s an XSS attack wherein the attack payload is executed as a result of modifying the DOM in the victim’s browser used by the original client side script.
