  • Registration Feature Testing

    • Check for duplicate registration/Overwrite existing user
    • Check for weak password policy
    • Check for reuse existing usernames
    • Check for insufficient email verification process
    • Weak registration implementation-Allows disposable email addresses
    • Weak registration implementation-Over HTTP
    • Overwrite default web application pages by specially crafted username registrations. => After registration, does your profile link appears something as www.tushar.com/tushar?

    a. If so, enumerate default folders of web application such as /images, /contact, /portfolio

    b. Do a registration using the username such as images, contact, portfolio

    c. Check if those default folders have been overwritten by your profile link or not."

  • Session Management Testing

    • Identify actual session cookie out of bulk cookies in the application
    • Decode cookies using some standard decoding algorithms such as Base64, hex, URL, etc
    • Modify cookie.session token value by 1 bit/byte. Then resubmit and do the same for all tokens. Reduce the amount of work you need to perform in order to identify which part of the token is actually being used and which is not
    • If self-registration is available and you can choose your username, log in with a series of similar usernames containing small variations between them, such as A, AA, AAA, AAAA, AAAB, AAAC, AABA, and so on. If another user-specific data is submitted at login or stored in user profiles (such as an email address)
    • Check for session cookies and cookie expiration date/time
    • Identify cookie domain scope
    • Check for HttpOnly flag in cookie
    • Check for Secure flag in cookie if the application is over SSL
    • Check for session fixation i.e. value of session cookie before and after authentication
    • Replay the session cookie from a different effective IP address or system to check whether the server maintains the state of the machine or not
    • Check for concurrent login through different machine/IP
    • Check if any user pertaining information is stored in cookie value or not If yes, tamper it with other user's data

        • Resource Server → Twitter
        • Client Application → Twitterdeck.com
        • Authorization Server → Twitter
        • client_id → Twitterdeck ID (This is a public, non-secret unique identifier_
        • client_secret → Secret Token known to the Twitter and Twitterdeck to generate access_tokens
        • response_type → Defines the token type e.g (code, token, etc.)
        • scope → The requested level of access Twitterdeck wants
        • redirect_uri → The URL user is redirected to after the authorization is complete
        • state → Main CSRF protection in OAuth can persist data between the user being directed to the authorization server and back again
        • grant_type → Defines the grant_type and the returned token type
        • code → The authorization code twitter generated, will be like ?code= , the code is used with client_id and client_secret to fetch an access_token
        • access_token → The token twitterdeck uses to make API requests on behalf of the user
        • refresh_token → Allows an application to obtain a new access_token without prompting the user
      • Code Flaws

    • Create a list of features that are pertaining to a user account only. Change Email Change Password -Change account details (Name, Number, Address, etc.) Try CSRF
    • Post login change email id and update with any existing email id. Check if its getting validated on server side or not. Does the application send any new email confirmation link to a new user or not? What if a user does not confirm the link in some time frame?
    • Open profile picture in a new tab and check the URL. Find email id/user id info. EXIF Geolocation Data Not Stripped From Uploaded Images.

  • Cross-Site Scripting Testing

    • Ask to show what XSS payloads looks like with markup or common XSS like: >
    • If script tags are banned, use

      and other HTML tags

    • If output is reflected back inside the JavaScript as a value of any variable just use alert(1)
    • if " are filtered then use this payload />
    • Unusual way to execute your JS payload is to change method from POST to GET. It bypasses filters sometimes
    • Tag attribute value
      • Input landed -<input type=”text” name=”state” value=”INPUT_FROM_ USER”>
      • Payload to be inserted -“ onfocus=”alert(document.cookie)"
    • Syntax Encoding payload “%3cscript%3ealert(document.cookie)%3c/script%3e"
    • XSS filter evasion
      • < and > can be replace with html entities < and >
      • You can try an XSS polyglot.Eg:-javascript:/-></title></style></textarea></script></xmp><svg/onload='+/"/+/onmouseover=1/+/[/[]/+alert(1)//'>
    • XSS Firewall Bypass if API's or Other plugin are included with ChatBot

      • Try Double Encoding
      • Testing for recursive filters
      • Injecting anchor tag without whitespaces
      • Try to bypass whitespaces using Bullet
      • Try to change request method
  • CSRF Testing

    • Validation of CSRF token depends on request method
    • Validation of CSRF token depends on token being present
    • CSRF token is not tied to the user session
    • CSRF token is tied to a non-session cookie
    • Validation of Referer depends on header being present
  • SSO Vulnerabilities

    • If internal.company.com Redirects You To SSO e.g. auth.company.com, Do FUZZ On Internal.company.com
    • If company.com/internal Redirects You To SSO e.g. Google login, Try To Insert public Before internal e.g. company.com/public/internal To Gain Access Internal
    • Try To Craft SAML Request With Token And Send It To The Server And Figure Out How Server Interact With This
    • If There Is AssertionConsumerServiceURL In Token Request Try To Insert Your Domain e.g. http://me.com As Value To Steal The Token
    • If There Is AssertionConsumerServiceURL In Token Request Try To Do FUZZ On Value Of AssertionConsumerServiceURL If It Is Not Similar To Origin
    • If There Is Any UUID, Try To Change It To UUID Of Victim Attacker e.g. Email Of Internal Employee Or Admin Account etc
    • Try To Figure Out If The Server Vulnerable To XML Signature Wrapping OR Not?
    • Try To Figure Out If The Server Checks The Identity Of The Signer OR Not?
    • Try To Inject XXE Payloads At The Top Of The SAML Response
    • Try To Inject XSLT Payloads Into The Transforms Element As A Child Node Of The SAML Response
    • If Victim Can Accept Tokens Issued By The Same Identity Provider That Services Attacker, So You Can Takeover Victim Account
    • While Testing SSO Try To search In Burp Suite About URLs In Cookie Header e.g. Host=IP; If There Is Try To Change IP To Your IP To Get SSRF
  • XML Injection Testing

    • Ask what looks like with content type to text/xml then insert below code.
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO 8859 1"?>
    <!DOCTYPE tushar [
    <!ELEMENT tushar ANY
    <!ENTITY xxe SYSTEM "file:///etc/passwd" >]><tushar>&xxe;</
    <!ENTITY xxe SYSTEM "file:///etc/hosts" >]><tushar>&xxe;</
    <!ENTITY xxe SYSTEM "file:///proc/self/cmdline" >]><tushar>&xxe;</
    <!ENTITY xxe SYSTEM "file:///proc/version" >]><tushar>&xxe;</
