CSRF
Commands

In Burp Suite Pro, you can use the tool to demonstrate a CSRF vulnerability by creating a proof of concept (PoC) using a request that does not include a CSRF token. This request can be used to update client information, and will show how an attacker can exploit the lack of CSRF protection to make unauthorized changes.

Right Click --> Engagement Tools --> Generate CSRF PoC

  • POST REQUEST --> HTML (What the evil server would have)
<html>
  <body>
  <script>history.pushState('', '', '/')</script>
    <form action="https://domain.com/my-account/change-email" method="POST">
      <input type="hidden" name="email" value="example-change&#64;gmail&#46;com" />
      <input type="submit" value="Submit request" />
    </form>
    <script>
      document.forms[0].submit();
    </script>
  </body>
</html>
  • Go in options and use auto-submit to include this line ...>document.forms[0].submit();<...
  • Take note that in the following example we have added the following from the original PoC of BurpSuite Pro

GET REQUEST --> HTML (What the evil server would have)

<html>
  <body>
  <script>history.pushState('', '', '/')</script>
    <form action="https://domain.com/my-account/change-email" method="GET">
<!-- Place Options -->
      <input type="hidden" name="email" value="example-change&#64;gmail&#46;com" />
      <input type="submit" value="Submit request" />
      
    </form>
    <script>
      document.forms[0].submit();
    </script>
  </body>
</html>

No CSRF Protection

Another way to test for vulnerabilities related to CSRF is to observe if the application does not have any CSRF token implemented. This can be done by checking the requests made by the application and verifying if there are any tokens being used to protect against CSRF attacks. If there are no tokens present, it may indicate a vulnerability in the application's security.

Steps: - Generate a template - Append automation

Remove CSRF Token

Another way to test for vulnerabilities related to CSRF is to observe if the application's security can be bypassed by removing the CSRF token from a request. This can be done by intercepting a request that includes a CSRF token, removing the token, and forwarding the modified request to the server to see if it is still accepted. If the request is accepted without the token, it may indicate a vulnerability in the application's CSRF protection.

Steps: - Remove the token - Test if the request work - Generate a template - Append automation

Change Request Type

Another way to test for vulnerabilities related to CSRF is to observe if the application's security can be bypassed by changing the request type from POST to GET. This can be done by intercepting a POST request that includes a CSRF token, changing the request method from POST to GET, and forwarding the modified request to the server to see if it is still accepted. If the request is accepted without the token, it may indicate a vulnerability in the application's CSRF protection.

Steps: - Select in Burp Suite (repeater) the "Change request method" --> Change POST to GET - Generate a template - Append automation

Client-Side Redirect

The process of changing a user's email address may be hindered by security measures such as the refer header, which requires the user to first visit a page on the website before making changes. However, if a client-side redirect vulnerability is discovered, an attacker may be able to exploit it for a CSRF attack. This is done by crafting a GET request in the redirect, which can then be used to perform malicious actions, such as changing various informations.

Steps:

  • Find a redirection vulnerability (Example redirect to post ID, but input ".."" take off the id and perform redirection)
  • Create a request for changing variable (Ex: email)
  • Change the request for a GET request ---> Dont forget, you might need to URL encode elements
  • Try appending the request (redirection) with the GET request
  • Generate a template from the redirection and change the value of the variable for the GET request
  • Append Automation

Change Request Type (Overwrite)

It may not be possible to change a POST request to a GET request, but it is sometimes possible to override this by modifying the PoC provided by BurpSuite and forcing the request to be made via a GET request.

Steps:

  • Select in Burp Suite (reapeater) the "Change request method" --> Change POST to GET
  • Generate a template
  • Append automation
  • Hide the POST request with following input <form action="... ---> <input type="hidden" name="_method" value="POST">

CSRF token from another user

Another way to test for vulnerabilities related to CSRF is to observe if the application's security can be bypassed by using a CSRF token from another user. This can be done by intercepting a request that includes a CSRF token, extracting the token from the request and using it in another user request, and forwarding the modified request to the server to see if it is still accepted. If the request is accepted using a token of another user, it may indicate that the tokens are not properly linked to the user session and the application may be vulnerable to CSRF attacks.

Steps:

  • Connect to your account (Will generate a CSRF that will be transmited to another user)
  • Intercept the request or copy the CSRF token in the source code of the form (Your account)
  • Use the CSRF token in the generated template
  • Append this after the input Email (to include a CSRF token in the request) or change the token
    • <input type="hidden" name="csrf" value="vre8wybewuo_CSRF_TOKEN_uybfweruuef" />
  • Append automation

CSRF token & key from another user (Work/Dont Work)

Another way to test for vulnerabilities related to CSRF is to observe if the application's security can be bypassed by using a CSRF token and key (cookie) from another user. This can be done by intercepting a request that includes a CSRF token and key, extracting the token and key from the request and using them in another user request, and forwarding the modified request to the server to see if it is still accepted. If the request is accepted using a token and key of another user, it may indicate that the tokens and keys are not properly linked to the user session and the application may be vulnerable to CSRF attacks.

It is also possible that the application is using a anti-CSRF token and a anti-CSRF cookie. It is important in this case to check if both are being checked on the server, if one of them is missing the request should be rejected.

==Did not work when i try it==

Steps:

  • Connect to your account (Will generate CSRF (Token + Key) that will be transmited to another user)
  • Intercept the request or copy the CSRF token & key (cookie) (Your account)
  • Try injecting cookie and token in an other user account
  • Craft a payload (template) + ---> (Allow injection of the CSRF key cookie in the header)
    • Find a place in the website were you can make a request with parameters and include cookie
    • Change the request for ?search=XYZ%0d%0aSet-Cookie:%20csrfKey=CSRF_KEY and check if you can inject a cookie via the request (only working if search does not has CSRF...)
    • If you can, use the default template (remove the automation)
    • Insert the following line
      • <input type="hidden" name="csrf" value="vre8wybewuo_CSRF_TOKEN_uybfweruuef" />
    • Insert the CSRF cookie with img source and redirect on error (will provoque error)
        1. <img src="https://DOMAIN/?search=test%0d%0aSet-Cookie:%20csrfKey=YOUR-KEY" onerror="document.forms[0].submit()">

CSRF where token is duplicated in cookie

An attacker can exploit a CSRF vulnerability by utilizing cookies and tokens obtained from another account to perform unauthorized actions on the targeted website. This can be done by providing a set of cookies and tokens to the website, which will allow the attacker to act as the legitimate user. The actions that can be performed are diverse, it can include unauthorized purchases, modification of account information and even deletion of data.
