WebSocket Penetration Testing: How to Test for WebSocket Hijacking, IDOR, Injection & More
This article discusses using the WSStrike extension in Burp Suite for comprehensive WebSocket penetration testing. The vulnerability class includes WebSocket hijacking, IDOR (Insecure Direct Object References), and injection attacks. The root cause lies in weak implementation of WebSocket security measures, such as lacking proper authentication or validation checks. Researchers exploited this by intercepting WebSocket traffic using WSStrike, injecting malicious payloads to manipulate application behavior. For instance, an IDOR issue was exposed when the researcher manipulated a user's session token to access another user's data. The technical details revolve around analyzing and interacting with WebSocket communication protocols and their security flaws. The impact of these vulnerabilities can range from unauthorized access to sensitive data, account takeover, or even complete system compromise. WSStrike helped reveal a bounty of $10,000 for finding multiple critical issues in a platform. To prevent such attacks, enforce strong authentication and authorization mechanisms, validate input data, and regularly audit WebSocket implementation. Key lesson: Always prioritize security when implementing WebSocket communication. #BugBounty #WebSecurity #WebSocket #IDOR #Injection

Bug Bounty Tutorial Series—Part 2: Understanding SSRF (Server-Side Request Forgery)
This article focuses on Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF), a technique used to execute requests from a vulnerable server to internal or external resources controlled by an attacker. The underlying flaw revolved around insufficient validation of user input in a DNS resolver component, allowing the researcher to control the hostname and manipulate requests made via the resolver. By crafting a specially-crafted payload using JavaScript to invoke an LDAP query against an internal Microsoft Active Directory server, the researcher obtained the domain administrator's email address. The article explains that SSRF attacks can be used for various malicious purposes like lateral movement, data exfiltration, and reconnaissance. The researcher received a bounty of $1000, with the organization addressing the issue by whitelisting trusted IP ranges and disabling external DNS resolution where possible. Key lesson: Validate user input in resolvers to prevent Server-Side Request Forgery attacks and their potential consequences. #BugBounty #SSRF #Cybersecurity #WebSecurity #LDAP

SQL for Bug Bounty Hunters 3.0
This vulnerability revolved around a stored XSS (Cross-Site Scripting) attack in an application form, leveraging JavaScript and cookies to bypass Content Security Policy (CSP). The form accepted user input without proper sanitization, allowing the injection of malicious scripts within a <script> tag. By exploiting this flawed validation mechanism, the researcher injected a payload containing SQL commands that were executed due to the lack of CSP protection against inline scripts. This led to SQL Injection (SQLi) and subsequent unauthorized access to sensitive data stored in the database. The article provides techniques for exploitation, including encoding SQLi payloads within JavaScript to bypass input validation. The researcher was awarded a substantial bounty, highlighting the importance of proper CSP implementation and input sanitization. To mitigate such attacks, developers should implement Content Security Policy controls effectively, avoiding inline scripts and whitelisting allowed sources. Key lesson: Input validation and CSP controls are crucial for preventing Cross-Site Scripting and SQL Injection attacks. #BugBounty #Cybersecurity #XSS #SQLInjection #WebSecurity

#56 rank on PortSwigger Labs
This article showcases an Authentication Bypass vulnerability through a combination of Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) and Session ID manipulation. The application failed to properly sanitize input, allowing an attacker to inject JavaScript into a login page's form field using XSS. By setting the value of a hidden session token field to an arbitrary session ID, the researcher exploited a flawed authentication mechanism that relied on user-controlled session tokens without validating their origin. This resulted in unauthorized access and privilege escalation. The researcher was ranked 56th on PortSwigger Labs for this find. Fixing the issue requires proper input validation, using secure cookies, and token-based authentication. Key lesson: Never trust user-controlled data for security decisions—validate and sanitize all inputs. #BugBounty #Cybersecurity #WebSecurity #XSS #AuthenticationBypass

The $1,300 Sequel: Why Retesting is a Bug Hunter’s Secret Weapon
This article emphasizes the importance of retesting during bug hunting, as demonstrated by a successful SQL Injection (SQLi) finding. The vulnerability stemmed from an application accepting user-controlled input without proper sanitization, allowing for SQL injection via malicious input in search queries. After initial testing and reporting, the researcher realized that the original payload was blocked due to Content Security Policy (CSP) measures. By crafting a cleverly encoded payload using Base64 and JavaScript, the researcher circumvented these restrictions and successfully exploited the SQLi flaw. Subsequent retesting confirmed the vulnerability persisted despite CSP implementation. The initial report was rejected; however, after demonstrating the issue with the new payload, the researcher received a $1,300 bounty and a significant increase in reputation. The article underscores the importance of thorough testing and the ability to adapt strategies for overcoming various defense mechanisms—perseverance is key in bug hunting. Key lesson: Retesting and adapting strategies are essential in bypassing defensive measures and maximizing bounty opportunities. #BugBounty #SQLInjection #CSP #WebSecurity #Perseverance
