# CBC - Cipher Block Chaining
|
|
|
|
In CBC mode the **previous encrypted block is used as IV** to XOR with the next block:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To decrypt CBC the **opposite** **operations** are done:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Notice how it's needed to use an **encryption** **key** and an **IV**.
|
|
|
|
# Message Padding
|
|
|
|
As the encryption is performed in **fixed** **size** **blocks**, **padding** is usually needed in the **last** **block** to complete its length.\
|
|
Usually **PKCS7** is used, which generates a padding **repeating** the **number** of **bytes** **needed** to **complete** the block. For example, if the last block is missing 3 bytes, the padding will be `\x03\x03\x03`.
|
|
|
|
Let's look at more examples with a **2 blocks of length 8bytes**:
|
|
|
|
| byte #0 | byte #1 | byte #2 | byte #3 | byte #4 | byte #5 | byte #6 | byte #7 | byte #0 | byte #1 | byte #2 | byte #3 | byte #4 | byte #5 | byte #6 | byte #7 |
|
|
| ------- | ------- | ------- | ------- | ------- | ------- | ------- | ------- | -------- | -------- | -------- | -------- | -------- | -------- | -------- | -------- |
|
|
| P | A | S | S | W | O | R | D | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | **0x02** | **0x02** |
|
|
| P | A | S | S | W | O | R | D | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | **0x03** | **0x03** | **0x03** |
|
|
| P | A | S | S | W | O | R | D | 1 | 2 | 3 | **0x05** | **0x05** | **0x05** | **0x05** | **0x05** |
|
|
| P | A | S | S | W | O | R | D | **0x08** | **0x08** | **0x08** | **0x08** | **0x08** | **0x08** | **0x08** | **0x08** |
|
|
|
|
Note how in the last example the **last block was full so another one was generated only with padding**.
|
|
|
|
# Padding Oracle
|
|
|
|
When an application decrypts encrypted data, it will first decrypt the data; then it will remove the padding. During the cleanup of the padding, if an **invalid padding triggers a detectable behaviour**, you have a **padding oracle vulnerability**. The detectable behaviour can be an **error**, a **lack of results**, or a **slower response**.
|
|
|
|
If you detect this behaviour, you can **decrypt the encrypted data** and even **encrypt any cleartext**.
|
|
|
|
## How to exploit
|
|
|
|
You could use [https://github.com/AonCyberLabs/PadBuster](https://github.com/AonCyberLabs/PadBuster) to exploit this kind of vulnerability or just do
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
sudo apt-get install padbuster
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
In order to test if the cookie of a site is vulnerable you could try:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
perl ./padBuster.pl http://10.10.10.10/index.php "RVJDQrwUdTRWJUVUeBKkEA==" 8 -encoding 0 -cookies "login=RVJDQrwUdTRWJUVUeBKkEA=="
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Encoding 0** means that **base64** is used (but others are available, check the help menu).
|
|
|
|
You could also **abuse this vulnerability to encrypt new data. For example, imagine that the content of the cookie is "**_**user=MyUsername**_**", then you may change it to "\_user=administrator\_" and escalate privileges inside the application. You could also do it using `paduster`specifying the -plaintext** parameter:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
perl ./padBuster.pl http://10.10.10.10/index.php "RVJDQrwUdTRWJUVUeBKkEA==" 8 -encoding 0 -cookies "login=RVJDQrwUdTRWJUVUeBKkEA==" -plaintext "user=administrator"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If the site is vulnerable `padbuster`will automatically try to find when the padding error occurs, but you can also indicating the error message it using the **-error** parameter.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
perl ./padBuster.pl http://10.10.10.10/index.php "" 8 -encoding 0 -cookies "hcon=RVJDQrwUdTRWJUVUeBKkEA==" -error "Invalid padding"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## The theory
|
|
|
|
In **summary**, you can start decrypting the encrypted data by guessing the correct values that can be used to create all the **different paddings**. Then, the padding oracle attack will start decrypting bytes from the end to the start by guessing which will be the correct value that **creates a padding of 1, 2, 3, etc**.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
Imagine you have some encrypted text that occupies **2 blocks** formed by the bytes from **E0 to E15**.\
|
|
In order to **decrypt** the **last** **block** (**E8** to **E15**), the whole block passes through the "block cipher decryption" generating the **intermediary bytes I0 to I15**.\
|
|
Finally, each intermediary byte is **XORed** with the previous encrypted bytes (E0 to E7). So:
|
|
|
|
* `C15 = D(E15) ^ E7 = I15 ^ E7`
|
|
* `C14 = I14 ^ E6`
|
|
* `C13 = I13 ^ E5`
|
|
* `C12 = I12 ^ E4`
|
|
* ...
|
|
|
|
Now, It's possible to **modify `E7` until `C15` is `0x01`**, which will also be a correct padding. So, in this case: `\x01 = I15 ^ E'7`
|
|
|
|
So, finding E'7, it's **possible to calculate I15**: `I15 = 0x01 ^ E'7`
|
|
|
|
Which allow us to **calculate C15**: `C15 = E7 ^ I15 = E7 ^ \x01 ^ E'7`
|
|
|
|
Knowing **C15**, now it's possible to **calculate C14**, but this time brute-forcing the padding `\x02\x02`.
|
|
|
|
This BF is as complex as the previous one as it's possible to calculate the the `E''15` whose value is 0x02: `E''7 = \x02 ^ I15` so it's just needed to find the **`E'14`** that generates a **`C14` equals to `0x02`**.\
|
|
Then, do the same steps to decrypt C14: **`C14 = E6 ^ I14 = E6 ^ \x02 ^ E''6`**
|
|
|
|
**Follow this chain until you decrypt the whole encrypted text.**
|
|
|
|
## Detection of the vulnerability
|
|
|
|
Register and account and log in with this account .\
|
|
If you **log in many times** and always get the **same cookie**, there is probably **something** **wrong** in the application. The **cookie sent back should be unique** each time you log in. If the cookie is **always** the **same**, it will probably always be valid and there **won't be anyway to invalidate i**t.
|
|
|
|
Now, if you try to **modify** the **cookie**, you can see that you get an **error** from the application.\
|
|
But if you BF the padding (using padbuster for example) you manage to get another cookie valid for a different user. This scenario is highly probably vulnerable to padbuster.
