Pentesting gRPC-Web

Reading time: 3 minutes

Manipulando Payloads gRPC-Web

gRPC-Web usa Content-Type: application/grpc-web-text em requisições, que é uma espécie de protobuf em forma codificada em base64. Você pode usar a ferramenta gprc-coder e também pode instalar sua Extensão do Burp Suite.

Manual com a Ferramenta gGRPC Coder

1. Primeiro, decodifique o payload:

echo "AAAAABYSC0FtaW4gTmFzaXJpGDY6BVhlbm9u" | python3 grpc-coder.py --decode --type grpc-web-text | protoscope > out.txt

2. Edite o conteúdo da carga útil decodificada

nano out.txt
2: {"Amin Nasiri Xenon GRPC"}
3: 54
7: {"<script>alert(origin)</script>"}

3. Codifique a nova carga útil

protoscope -s out.txt | python3 grpc-coder.py --encode --type grpc-web-text

4. Use a saída no interceptador do Burp:

AAAAADoSFkFtaW4gTmFzaXJpIFhlbm9uIEdSUEMYNjoePHNjcmlwdD5hbGVydChvcmlnaW4pPC9zY3JpcHQ+

Manual com a Extensão gRPC-Web Coder Burp Suite

Você pode usar a Extensão gRPC-Web Coder Burp Suite no gRPC-Web Pentest Suite, que é mais fácil. Você pode ler as instruções de instalação e uso em seu repositório.

Analisando Arquivos Javascript gRPC-Web

Há pelo menos um arquivo Javascript em cada aplicação gRPC-Web. Você pode analisar o arquivo para encontrar novas mensagens, endpoints e serviços. Tente usar a ferramenta gRPC-Scan.

1. Baixe o Arquivo Javascript gRPC-Web
2. Escaneie-o com grpc-scan.py:

python3 grpc-scan.py --file main.js

3. Analise a saída e teste os novos endpoints e novos serviços:

Output:
Found Endpoints:
/grpc.gateway.testing.EchoService/Echo
/grpc.gateway.testing.EchoService/EchoAbort
/grpc.gateway.testing.EchoService/NoOp
/grpc.gateway.testing.EchoService/ServerStreamingEcho
/grpc.gateway.testing.EchoService/ServerStreamingEchoAbort
