## **DOM vulnerabilities**
|
|
|
|
> **Sources**
|
|
>
|
|
> A source is a JavaScript property that accepts data that is potentially attacker-controlled. An example of a source is the `location.search` property because it reads input from the query string, which is relatively simple for an attacker to control. Ultimately, any property that can be controlled by the attacker is a potential source. This includes the referring URL (exposed by the `document.referrer` string), the user's cookies (exposed by the `document.cookie` string), and web messages.
|
|
|
|
> **Sinks**
|
|
>
|
|
> 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.
|
|
|
|
Fundamentally, DOM-based vulnerabilities arise when a website **passes data from a source to a sink**, which then handles the data in an unsafe way in the context of the client's session.

|
The **`innerHTML`** sink doesn't accept `script` elements on any modern browser, nor will `svg onload` events fire. This means you will need to use alternative elements like `img` or `iframe`.
|
|
|
|
This kind of XSS is probably the **hardest to find**, as you need to look inside the JS code, see if it's **using** any object whose **value you control**, and in that case, see if there is **any way to abuse** it to execute arbitrary JS.

## Examples
|
|
|
|
### Open Redirect
|
|
|
|
From: [https://portswigger.net/web-security/dom-based/open-redirection](https://portswigger.net/web-security/dom-based/open-redirection)
|
|
|
|
#### How
|
|
|
|
DOM-based open-redirection vulnerabilities arise when a script writes **attacker-controllable data** into a **sink** that can trigger **cross-domain navigation**.
|
|
|
|
Remember that **if you can start the URL** were the victim is going to be **redirected**, you could execute **arbitrary code** like: **`javascript:alert(1)`**
|
|
|
|
#### Sinks
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
location
|
|
location.host
|
|
location.hostname
|
|
location.href
|
|
location.pathname
|
|
location.search
|
|
location.protocol
|
|
location.assign()
|
|
location.replace()
|
|
open()
|
|
domElem.srcdoc
|
|
XMLHttpRequest.open()
|
|
XMLHttpRequest.send()
|
|
jQuery.ajax()
|
|
$.ajax()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Cookie manipulation
|
|
|
|
From: [https://portswigger.net/web-security/dom-based/cookie-manipulation](https://portswigger.net/web-security/dom-based/cookie-manipulation)
|
|
|
|
#### How
|
|
|
|
DOM-based cookie-manipulation vulnerabilities arise when a script writes **attacker-controllable data into the value of a cookie**.\
|
|
This could be abuse to make the page behaves on unexpected manner (if the cookie is used in the web) or to perform a [session fixation](../hacking-with-cookies/#session-fixation) attack (if the cookie is used to track the user's session).
|
|
|
|
#### Sinks
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
document.cookie
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### JavaScript Injection
|
|
|
|
From: [https://portswigger.net/web-security/dom-based/javascript-injection](https://portswigger.net/web-security/dom-based/javascript-injection)
|
|
|
|
#### How
|
|
|
|
DOM-based JavaScript-injection vulnerabilities arise when a script executes **attacker-controllable data as JavaScript**.
|
|
|
|
#### Sinks
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
eval()
|
|
Function() constructor
|
|
setTimeout()
|
|
setInterval()
|
|
setImmediate()
|
|
execCommand()
|
|
execScript()
|
|
msSetImmediate()
|
|
range.createContextualFragment()
|
|
crypto.generateCRMFRequest()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Document-domain manipulation
|
|
|
|
From: [https://portswigger.net/web-security/dom-based/document-domain-manipulation](https://portswigger.net/web-security/dom-based/document-domain-manipulation)
|
|
|
|
#### How
|
|
|
|
Document-domain manipulation vulnerabilities arise when a script uses **attacker-controllable data to set** the **`document.domain`** property.
|
|
|
|
The `document.domain` property is used by browsers in their **enforcement** of the **same origin policy**. If **two pages** from **different** origins explicitly set the **same `document.domain`** value, then those two pages can **interact in unrestricted ways**.\
|
|
Browsers **generally enforce some restrictions** on the values that can be assigned to `document.domain`, and may prevent the use of completely different values than the actual origin of the page. **But this doesn't occur always** and they usually **allow to use child** or **parent** domains.
|
|
|
|
#### Sinks
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
document.domain
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### WebSocket-URL poisoning
|
|
|
|
From: [https://portswigger.net/web-security/dom-based/websocket-url-poisoning](https://portswigger.net/web-security/dom-based/websocket-url-poisoning)
|
|
|
|
#### How
|
|
|
|
WebSocket-URL poisoning occurs when a script uses **controllable data as the target URL** of a WebSocket connection.
|
|
|
|
#### Sinks
|
|
|
|
The `WebSocket` constructor can lead to WebSocket-URL poisoning vulnerabilities.
|
|
|
|
### Link manipulation
|
|
|
|
From: [https://portswigger.net/web-security/dom-based/link-manipulation](https://portswigger.net/web-security/dom-based/link-manipulation)
|
|
|
|
#### How
|
|
|
|
DOM-based link-manipulation vulnerabilities arise when a script writes **attacker-controllable data to a navigation target** within the current page, such as a clickable link or the submission URL of a form.
|
|
|
|
#### Sinks
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
someDOMElement.href
|
|
someDOMElement.src
|
|
someDOMElement.action
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Ajax request manipulation
|
|
|
|
From: [https://portswigger.net/web-security/dom-based/ajax-request-header-manipulation](https://portswigger.net/web-security/dom-based/ajax-request-header-manipulation)
|
|
|
|
#### How
|
|
|
|
Ajax request manipulation vulnerabilities arise when a script writes **attacker-controllable data into the an Ajax request** that is issued using an `XmlHttpRequest` object.
|
|
|
|
#### Sinks
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
XMLHttpRequest.setRequestHeader()
|
|
XMLHttpRequest.open()
|
|
XMLHttpRequest.send()
|
|
jQuery.globalEval()
|
|
$.globalEval()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Local file-path manipulation
|
|
|
|
From: [https://portswigger.net/web-security/dom-based/local-file-path-manipulation](https://portswigger.net/web-security/dom-based/local-file-path-manipulation)
|
|
|
|
#### How
|
|
|
|
Local file-path manipulation vulnerabilities arise when a script passes **attacker-controllable data to a file-handling API** as the `filename` parameter. An attacker may be able to use this vulnerability to construct a URL that, if visited by another user, will cause the **user's browser to open/write an arbitrary local file**.
|
|
|
|
#### Sinks
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
FileReader.readAsArrayBuffer()
|
|
FileReader.readAsBinaryString()
|
|
FileReader.readAsDataURL()
|
|
FileReader.readAsText()
|
|
FileReader.readAsFile()
|
|
FileReader.root.getFile()
|
|
FileReader.root.getFile()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Client-Side SQl injection
|
|
|
|
From: [https://portswigger.net/web-security/dom-based/client-side-sql-injection](https://portswigger.net/web-security/dom-based/client-side-sql-injection)
|
|
|
|
#### How
|
|
|
|
Client-side SQL-injection vulnerabilities arise when a script incorporates **attacker-controllable data into a client-side SQL query in an unsafe way**.
|
|
|
|
#### Sinks
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
executeSql()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### HTML5-storage manipulation
|
|
|
|
From: [https://portswigger.net/web-security/dom-based/html5-storage-manipulation](https://portswigger.net/web-security/dom-based/html5-storage-manipulation)
|
|
|
|
#### How
|
|
|
|
HTML5-storage manipulation vulnerabilities arise when a script **stores attacker-controllable data in the HTML5 storage** of the web browser (either `localStorage` or `sessionStorage`).\
|
|
This **behavior does not in itself constitute a security vulnerability**. However, if the application later **reads data back from storage and processes it in an unsafe way**, an attacker may be able to leverage the storage mechanism to deliver other DOM-based attacks, such as cross-site scripting and JavaScript injection.
|
|
|
|
#### Sinks
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
sessionStorage.setItem()
|
|
localStorage.setItem()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### XPath injection
|
|
|
|
From: [https://portswigger.net/web-security/dom-based/client-side-xpath-injection](https://portswigger.net/web-security/dom-based/client-side-xpath-injection)
|
|
|
|
#### How
|
|
|
|
DOM-based XPath-injection vulnerabilities arise when a script incorporates **attacker-controllable data into an XPath query**.
|
|
|
|
#### Sinks
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
document.evaluate()
|
|
someDOMElement.evaluate()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Client-side JSON injection
|
|
|
|
From: [https://portswigger.net/web-security/dom-based/client-side-json-injection](https://portswigger.net/web-security/dom-based/client-side-json-injection)
|
|
|
|
#### How
|
|
|
|
DOM-based JSON-injection vulnerabilities arise when a script incorporates **attacker-controllable data into a string that is parsed as a JSON data structure and then processed by the application**.
|
|
|
|
#### Sinks
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
JSON.parse()
|
|
jQuery.parseJSON()
|
|
$.parseJSON()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Web-message manipulation
|
|
|
|
From: [https://portswigger.net/web-security/dom-based/web-message-manipulation](https://portswigger.net/web-security/dom-based/web-message-manipulation)
|
|
|
|
#### How
|
|
|
|
Web-message vulnerabilities arise when a script sends **attacker-controllable data as a web message to another document** within the browser.\
|
|
**Example** of vulnerable Web-message manipulation in [https://portswigger.net/web-security/dom-based/controlling-the-web-message-source](https://portswigger.net/web-security/dom-based/controlling-the-web-message-source)
|
|
|
|
#### Sinks
|
|
|
|
The `postMessage()` method for sending web messages can lead to vulnerabilities if the event listener for receiving messages handles the incoming data in an unsafe way.
|
|
|
|
### DOM-data manipulation
|
|
|
|
From: [https://portswigger.net/web-security/dom-based/dom-data-manipulation](https://portswigger.net/web-security/dom-based/dom-data-manipulation)
|
|
|
|
#### How
|
|
|
|
DOM-data manipulation vulnerabilities arise when a script writes **attacker-controllable data to a field within the DOM** that is used within the visible UI or client-side logic. An attacker may be able to use this vulnerability to construct a URL that, if visited by another user, will modify the appearance or behaviour of the client-side UI.
|
|
|
|
#### Sinks
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
scriptElement.src
|
|
scriptElement.text
|
|
scriptElement.textContent
|
|
scriptElement.innerText
|
|
someDOMElement.setAttribute()
|
|
someDOMElement.search
|
|
someDOMElement.text
|
|
someDOMElement.textContent
|
|
someDOMElement.innerText
|
|
someDOMElement.outerText
|
|
someDOMElement.value
|
|
someDOMElement.name
|
|
someDOMElement.target
|
|
someDOMElement.method
|
|
someDOMElement.type
|
|
someDOMElement.backgroundImage
|
|
someDOMElement.cssText
|
|
someDOMElement.codebase
|
|
document.title
|
|
document.implementation.createHTMLDocument()
|
|
history.pushState()
|
|
history.replaceState()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Denial of Service
|
|
|
|
From: [https://portswigger.net/web-security/dom-based/denial-of-service](https://portswigger.net/web-security/dom-based/denial-of-service)
|
|
|
|
#### How
|
|
|
|
DOM-based denial-of-service vulnerabilities arise when a script passes **attacker-controllable data in an unsafe way to a problematic platform API**, such as an API whose invocation can cause the user's computer to consume **excessive amounts of CPU or disk space**. This may result in side effects if the browser restricts the functionality of the website, for example, by rejecting attempts to store data in `localStorage` or killing busy scripts.
|
|
|
|
#### Sinks
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
requestFileSystem()
|
|
RegExp()
|
|
```
