CWE-113: HTTP Response Splitting – A Comprehensive Guide for Penetration Testers

by

HTTP Response Splitting is a web application vulnerability that occurs when an attacker is able to manipulate HTTP headers to split the response sent to the client. This manipulation exploits the way headers are processed by web servers and browsers, allowing attackers to inject malicious content into the response stream. The result can be a range of attacks, from cross-site scripting (XSS) to cache poisoning and web cache poisoning, all of which can disrupt business operations, damage brand reputation, and compromise sensitive data.

Comprehensive Guide to LDAP Injection: SANS Top 25 CWE-90

by

LDAP Injection attacks are a severe and growing threat, with the potential to compromise sensitive data, escalate privileges, and disrupt business operations. Real-world incidents have demonstrated the wide-ranging consequences of such vulnerabilities, including financial losses, reputational damage, and regulatory repercussions.

By understanding the risks associated with LDAP Injection and adopting best practices for mitigation, organisations can protect themselves from these types of attacks. Regular security assessments, input validation, and the use of secure coding practices are essential for preventing LDAP Injection vulnerabilities and safeguarding against the potentially devastating impacts of these attacks.

LDAP Injection is a critical vulnerability that can have devastating consequences for an organisation, ranging from unauthorised data access to privilege escalation. By understanding how LDAP Injection works, the risks it presents, and the steps that can be taken to identify and mitigate it, penetration testers can play a pivotal role in strengthening the security posture of an organisation.

In-Depth Analysis of SANS Top 25 CWE-94: JSON Injection and Its Implications for Penetration Testers

by

**JSON Injection** is a form of **injection vulnerability** that occurs when an application improperly handles user input within a JSON object. JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is widely used for data exchange between web clients and servers. When applications fail to validate or sanitize user input before incorporating it into a JSON object, attackers can inject malicious data, manipulating the application’s behaviour.

JSON Injection primarily targets the integrity of the data being exchanged, potentially altering application logic, bypassing authentication, or even leading to more severe attacks like remote code execution. It is particularly dangerous in systems that use JSON for configuration files, user inputs, or data transfer, which is the case in many modern web applications.

Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF): A Deep Dive into Risks and Mitigations for Software and Web Developers

by

SSRF occurs when an attacker exploits a server-side vulnerability to send crafted requests from a vulnerable web server to unintended locations. These requests can be directed to internal services, cloud metadata APIs, or other network resources that would otherwise be inaccessible to external users. Essentially, SSRF enables attackers to leverage the server’s trust in internal resources and APIs to bypass firewalls, access private services, and gather sensitive data.
