mitigation for CSRF



1. Make sure every HTTP request submitting a form or any other kind of input comes from 'same origin'.

2. Use a CSRF token, which is required by every form or input on the site.
Note: You should avoid using CSRF tokens in GET requests, and therefore you should avoid having any sensitive actions in GET request at all. It's better to use POST requests for sensitive form submissions. Doing otherwise could leak the CSRF token for a user's session and leave them vulnerable to CSRF attacks for the duration of their session.

We can check the vulnerability. user=*)(& password=*)(& --> (&(user=*)(&)(password=*)(&))  After we type it, we found the response shows successful, and return a page has search box.

wafwaf -- Hack The Box -- Web SQL injection

0x00 Problem 0x01 Check the Source Code We open the website and only see the source code on the website. As we can see, there is a WAF will filter some characters and words, that means the normal injection will not work. However, we can see, there is a json_decode() function will decode JSON data, that means the data can be accepted should be JSON format.  The example JSON format data is like: /u0074, /u0075. In addition, there is a "php://input",  accesses the read-only stream of the requested raw data, executing the data in the post request as PHP code. 0x02 Local Test We can launch an Apache server to test it. I copy the source code and make a little change to test this. This file is in /var/www/html. We will construct the data first. This time I use 'select' as an example. The word transfer to ASCII, then to hex, then replace the '\0x' as '\u00'. This can be test in the browser console. At the end, we can test it with curl . As we can see, the SQL...
