## Winning RCs with Iframes
|
|
|
|
According to this [**Terjanq writeup**](https://gist.github.com/terjanq/7c1a71b83db5e02253c218765f96a710) blob documents created from null origins are isolated for security benefits, which means that if you maintain busy the main page, the iframe page is going to be executed.
|
|
|
|
Basically in that challenge an **isolated iframe is executed** and right **after** it's **loaded** the **parent** page is going to **send a post** message with the **flag**.\
|
|
However, that postmessage communication is **vulnerable to XSS** (the **iframe** can execute JS code).
|
|
|
|
Therefore, the goal of the attacker is to **let the parent create the iframe**, but **before** let the **parent** page **send** the sensitive data (**flag**) **keep it busy** and send the **payload to the iframe**. While the **parent is busy** the **iframe executes the payload** which will be some JS that will listen for the **parent postmessage message and leak the flag**.\
|
|
Finally, the iframe has executed the payload and the parent page stops being busy, so it sends the flag and the payload leaks it.
|
|
|
|
But how could you make the parent be **busy right after it generated the iframe and just while it's waiting for the iframe to be ready to send the sensitive data?** Basically, you need to find **async** **action** you could make the parent **execute**. For example, in that challenge the parent was **listening** to **postmessages** like this:
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
window.addEventListener('message', (e) => {
|
|
if (e.data == 'blob loaded') {
|
|
$("#previewModal").modal();
|
|
}
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
so it was possible to send a **big integer in a postmessage** that will be **converted to string** in that comparison, which will take some time:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
const buffer = new Uint8Array(1e7);
|
|
win?.postMessage(buffer, '*', [buffer.buffer]);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
And in order to be precise and **send** that **postmessage** just **after** the **iframe** is created but **before** it's **ready** to receive the data from the parent, you will need to **play with the miliseconds of a `setTimeout`**.
