Hi. I am not a flash expert but you can find many interesting things about flash and playing with http headers. For instance the case of Expect XSS Vulnerability. I don't know any way to exploit but If I don't know it doesn't mean there isn't one :) Regards Michal. On 4/24/07, InSiStKool <insistkool@gmail.com> wrote:
H Michael, This is interesting. I do able to see the output after injecting the xss statement, but I don't see how is possible to be used. Further, GET<script>alert(document.coookie);</script> /test.php HTTP/1.0 I only know we can use nc or telnet to execute the above statement, how can you execute it with a browser like ff or ie? You mentioned "some flash might help", can you give me an example? Thanks insistkool On 4/23/07, Michal Majchrowicz <m.majchrowicz@gmail.com> wrote:There exist a flaw in a way how Apache and php combination handle the $_SERVER array. If the programmer writes scrip like this: <?php echo $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD']; ?> He will assume that REQUEST_METHOD can only by: GET,POST,OPTIONS,TRACE and all that stuff. However this is not true, since Apache accepts requests that look like this: GET<script>alert(document.coookie);</script> /test.php HTTP/1.0 And the output for this would be: GET<script>alert(document.coookie);</script> Of course it is hard to exploit (I think some Flash might help ;)) and I don't know if it is exploitable at all. But programmers should be warned about this behaviour. You can't trust any variable in the $_SERVER table!
