# Description
|
|
|
|
In a situation where an **attacker** can **control** the **`href`** argument of an **`<a`** tag with the attribute **`target="_blank" rel="opener"`** that is going to be clicked by a victim, the **attacker** **point** this **link** to a web under his control (a **malicious** **website**). Then, once the **victim clicks** the link and access the attackers website, this **malicious** **website** will be able to **control** the **original** **page** via the javascript object **`window.opener`**.\
|
|
If the page doesn't have **`rel="opener"` but contains `target="_blank"` it also doesn't have `rel="noopener"`** it might be also vulnerable.
|
|
|
|
A regular way to abuse this behaviour would be to **change the location of the original web** via `window.opener.location = https://attacker.com/victim.html` to a web controlled by the attacker that **looks like the original one**, so it can **imitate** the **login** **form** of the original website and ask for credentials to the user.
|
|
|
|
However, note that as the **attacker now can control the window object of the original website** he can abuse it in other ways to perform **stealthier attacks** (maybe modifying javascript events to ex-filtrate info to a server controlled by him?)

|
|
## Without back link
|
|
|
|
Link between parent and child pages when prevention attribute is used:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Examples <a href="#examples" id="examples"></a>
|
|
|
|
Create the following pages in a folder and run a web server with `python3 -m http.server`\
|
|
Then, **access** `http://127.0.0.1:8000/`vulnerable.html, **click** on the link and note how the **original** **website** **URL** **changes**.
|
|
|
|
{% code title="vulnerable.html" %}
|
|
```markup
|
|
<!DOCTYPE html>
|
|
<html>
|
|
<body>
|
|
<h1>Victim Site</h1>
|
|
<a href="http://127.0.0.1:8000/malicious.html" target="_blank" rel="opener">Controlled by the attacker</a>
|
|
</body>
|
|
</html>
|

```
|
|
{% endcode %}
|
|
|

{% code title="malicious.html" %}

<h1>New Malicious Site</h1>
|

</body>

```
|

{% endcode %}
|
|
|
|
## Accessible properties <a href="#accessible-properties" id="accessible-properties"></a>
|
|
|
|
The malicious site can only access to the following properties from the **opener** javascript object reference (that is in fact a reference to a **window** javascript class instance) in case of **cross origin** (cross domains) access:
|
|
|
|
* `opener.closed`: Returns a boolean value indicating whether a window has been closed or not.
|
|
* `opener.frames`: Returns all iframe elements in the current window.
|
|
* `opener.length`: Returns the number of iframe elements in the current window.
|
|
* `opener.opener`: Returns a reference to the window that created the window.
|
|
* `opener.parent`: Returns the parent window of the current window.
|
|
* `opener.self`: Returns the current window.
|
|
* `opener.top`: Returns the topmost browser window.
|
|
|
|
If the domains are the same then the malicious site can access all the properties exposed by the [**window**](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window) javascript object reference.
