Basic Information

XSLT is a technology employed for transforming XML documents into different formats. It comes in three versions: 1, 2, and 3, with version 1 being the most commonly utilized. The transformation process can be executed either on the server or within the browser.

The frameworks that are most frequently used include:

Libxslt from Gnome,
Xalan from Apache,
Saxon from Saxonica.

For the exploitation of vulnerabilities associated with XSLT, it is necessary for xsl tags to be stored on the server side, followed by accessing that content. An illustration of such a vulnerability is documented in the following source: https://www.gosecure.net/blog/2019/05/02/esi-injection-part-2-abusing-specific-implementations/.

Example - Tutorial

sudo apt-get install default-jdk
sudo apt-get install libsaxonb-java libsaxon-java

<!--- More complex test to call php class function-->
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:php="http://php.net/xsl"

<!-- We use the php suffix to call the static class function stringToUrl() -->
<xsl:value-of select="php:function('XSL::stringToUrl','une_superstring-àÔ|modifier')" />
<!-- Output: 'une_superstring ao modifier' -->
</html>
