{% endhint %} ## Iframes in SOP-2 In the [**solution**](https://github.com/project-sekai-ctf/sekaictf-2022/tree/main/web/obligatory-calc/solution) for this [**challenge**](https://github.com/project-sekai-ctf/sekaictf-2022/tree/main/web/obligatory-calc)**,** [**@Strellic\_**](https://twitter.com/Strellic\_) proposes a similar method to the previous section. Let's check it. In this challenge the attacker needs to **bypass** this: ```javascript if (e.source == window.calc.contentWindow && e.data.token == window.token) { ``` If he does, he can send a **postmessage** with HTML content that is going to be written in the page with **`innerHTML`** without sanitation (**XSS**). The way to bypass the **first check** is by making **`window.calc.contentWindow`** to **`undefined`** and **`e.source`** to **`null`**: * **`window.calc.contentWindow`** is actually **`document.getElementById("calc")`**. You can clobber **`document.getElementById`** with **``** (note that Sanitizer API -[here](https://wicg.github.io/sanitizer-api/#dom-clobbering)- is not configured to protect against DOM clobbering attacks in its default state). * Therefore, you can clobber **`document.getElementById("calc")`** with **`
`**. Then, **`window.calc`** will be **`undefined`**. * Now, we need **`e.source`** to be **`undefined`** or **`null`** (because `==` is used instead of `===`, **`null == undefined`** is **`True`**). Getting this is "easy". If you create an **iframe** and **send** a **postMessage** from it and immediately **remove** the iframe, **`e.origin`** is going to be **`null`**. Check the following code ```javascript let iframe = document.createElement('iframe'); document.body.appendChild(iframe); window.target = window.open("http://localhost:8080/"); await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, 2000)); // wait for page to load iframe.contentWindow.eval(`window.parent.target.postMessage("A", "*")`); document.body.removeChild(iframe); //e.origin === null ``` In order to bypass the **second check** about token is by sending **`token`** with value `null` and making **`window.token`** value **`undefined`**: * Sending `token` in the postMessage with value `null` is trivial. * **`window.token`** in calling the function **`getCookie`** which uses **`document.cookie`**. Note that any access to **`document.cookie`** in **`null`** origin pages tigger an **error**. This will make **`window.token`** have **`undefined`** value. The final solution by [**@terjanq**](https://twitter.com/terjanq) is the [**following**](https://gist.github.com/terjanq/0bc49a8ef52b0e896fca1ceb6ca6b00e#file-calc-html): ```html ``` {% hint style="success" %} Learn & practice AWS Hacking:[**HackTricks Training AWS Red Team Expert (ARTE)**](https://training.hacktricks.xyz/courses/arte)\ Learn & practice GCP Hacking: [**HackTricks Training GCP Red Team Expert (GRTE)**](https://training.hacktricks.xyz/courses/grte)
