(Cont.) Sample client-side implementation (ASP.Net postback): [Figure transcription: form `form1` posts to `WelcomeMirror.aspx`. Hidden inputs are `__EVENTTARGET`, `__EVENTARGUMENT`, and `__VIEWSTATE`. A button named `Button1`, labeled “View Service Status”, invokes `javascript:__doPostBack('Button1','')`. The long ViewState value and right edge of the button HTML are cropped in the screenshot. A decorative sign reads “CALL LIFT”.] ```javascript var theForm = document.forms['form1']; if (!theForm) { theForm = document.form1; } function __doPostBack(eventTarget, eventArgument) { if (!theForm.onsubmit || (theForm.onsubmit() != false)) { theForm.__EVENTTARGET.value = eventTarget; theForm.__EVENTARGUMENT.value = eventArgument; theForm.submit(); } } ``` --- page 13 --- ## Event Validation Drill Down - Independent Events: buttons with usesubmitbehavior=false, checkboxes, etc - Sample Event Lifecycle - Programmatic vs. Declarative [Figure transcription: the ASPX page enables event validation and ViewState MAC. The rendered HTML contains `__VIEWSTATE`, `__EVENTVALIDATION`, and `Button6`, which invokes `javascript:__doPostBack('Button6','')`. Long state values are cropped in the original screenshot.] ```aspx <%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="WelcomeChanged.aspx.cs" EnableEventValidation="true" EnableViewStateMac="true" Inherits="ViewStateControls.WelcomeChanged" %> ``` --- page 14 --- ## Viewstate Structure - Viewstate Structure - Serialized into Base64* - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms972976.aspx - Signed (MAC), clear-text or encrypted [Figure: the decoder reports “ViewState v2.0 compatible [MAC is enabled]”. A nested Pair/List tree includes `string: 65025323`, integer indices `3`, and a property pair `string: Visible`, `boolean: false`.] --- page 15 --- ## Event Validation Mechanism - Name/Value HashCode Formula ```text if ([ControlValue] == null) return GetStringHashCode([ControlName]); else return GetStringHashCode([ControlName]) ^ GetStringHashCode([ControlValue]); ``` EventValidation (Viewed via Burp Viewstate Decoder): - Viewstate Hashcode - Control Hashcodes - MachineKey and MAC - Control Name/Value Verification, Prior to Event Execution - Include viewstate hashcode - Included in the HTML: [Figure: decoder reports “ViewState v2.0 compatible [MAC is not enabled]”. The first integer, `-1280308489`, is labeled Viewstate Hashcode. Subsequent control hashcodes are `-1314758625`, `-1314758624`, `-1314758619`, `2087245738`, `2087245739`, `2087245736`, `-1314758618`, `2087245737`, `2087245736`, `2087245739`, and `0`. The HTML screenshot contains a hidden `__EVENTVALIDATION` input; its long value is cropped in the source.] --- page 16 --- ## Evidence of Hidden Controls Visible / Enabled Controls: EventValidation (Viewstate Decoder): <-Viewstate <-Shutdown Invisible / Disabled Controls (Control Trace in Viewstate!): EventValidation (Viewstate Decoder): <-Viewstate <-Shotdown Missing [Figure: the upper control panel offers “View Service Status”, “Shutdown Service”, “Send Event Notification”, a text field, and “Logout”. Its event-validation decoder includes a shutdown-control hashcode `-2134092357`. The lower panel omits “Shutdown Service”, disables the notification controls, and displays “Server Is Up”. Its ViewState decoder includes `Visible: false`; the event-validation list lacks the shutdown hashcode. The original comparison label reads “Shotdown Missing”.] --- page 17 --- ## Invisible Web Controls: Archetypes --- page 18 --- ## Dormant Events of Web Controls, 1 of 3 - Commented Out Controls - The control is commented out using HTML comments - Rendered inside an HTML comment, but the server code is still active. [Code screenshots: the ASPX control is inside an HTML comment, but its server-side click handler remains. The handler screenshot is cropped after the Response.Write statement.] ```aspx ``` ```csharp protected void Button4_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { Response.Write("
Active Users
"); ``` ```html ``` --- page 19 --- ## Dormant Events of Web Controls, 2 of 3 - Disabled Controls - The control enabled property is set to false - Rendered with the disabled="disabled" HTML property - Rendered without an input postback method [Code screenshots: `Button3.Enabled = false;`. The control panel displays a disabled “Send Event Notification” button and text field.] ```html ``` --- page 20 --- ## Dormant Events of Web Controls, 3 of 3 - Invisible Controls - The control visible property is set to false - Not Rendered in the presentation layer, but the code is still active [Code screenshot: `Button2.Visible = false;`. The “Welcome admin” control panel includes “Shutdown Service”; the “Welcome user1” panel omits it.] --- page 21 --- ## Dormant Events of Web Controls, Opt. - Dormant Events of Visible Controls - Optional event listeners registered in the code level, after the optional definition was added to a control with at least one active event. --- page 22 --- ## “Uncomment” Controls --- page 23 --- ## Activating Events of Commented Controls - Prerequisites (ASP.Net / Mono) - Commented Out Controls: - The developer should rely solely on the fact that the control is commented. - The attacker can simply “uncomment” the HTML control and execute the embedded event, or send the appropriate values directly. - Advantages - Exploit works even if the Viewstate MAC AND the EventValidation features are turned ON. --- page 24 --- ## Activating Events of Commented Controls (Cont.) [Figure: SCIP — RIA Event Enumerator is loaded with `http://localhost:7011/WelcomeMirror.aspx`. ViewState, ViewState Signed (MAC found), Event Validation, and Event Validation Signed (MAC found) are checked; ViewState Encrypted is unchecked. The visible controls are Button1 and Button5. The “Commented or Disabled” controls are Button4 (selected), Button3, and TextBox1. The Events pane lists `onclick`. The tool offers “Load Controls From History”, “Add Controls From URL”, “Add”, “Enumerate Controls”, “Blind Control Enumeration”, and “Run Event”.] --- page 25 --- ## Activating Events of Commented Controls (Cont.) [Request screenshot: a POST to `http://localhost:7011/WelcomeMirror.aspx`, with `Host: localhost:7011` and `Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded`. The body contains empty `__EVENTTARGET` and `__EVENTARGUMENT`, original `__EVENTVALIDATION` and `__VIEWSTATE` values, and `Button4=Button`. Opaque sample state values are retained in the source PDF rather than transcribed.] --- page 26 --- ## Disabled Purge --- page 27 --- ## Activating Events of Disabled Controls - Prerequisites (ASP.Net / Mono) - Disabled Controls: - The developer should rely solely on the control disability and the lack of JS postback/callback method for protecting the control events. - The attacker should forge a postback / callback method, or send the appropriate values directly. - Advantages - Exploit works even if the Viewstate MAC AND the EventValidation features are turned ON. --- page 28 --- ## Activating Events of Disabled Controls (Cont.) - The Process of Forging a PostBack / CallBack Method - Why does it work? - Using temporarily disabled controls in ASP.Net is a feature - Controls might be disabled without any relation to security, and thus, are currently not protected like invisible controls - How does it work? - The control name is exposed in the disabled control - The attacker can use an interception proxy to “inject” postback calls into HTML control events, or craft requests manually by reusing the existing viewstate/validation fields. --- page 29 --- ## Activating Events of Disabled Controls (Cont.) [Figure: SCIP displays `http://localhost:7011/WelcomeMirror.aspx`, with both MAC checks selected. Button3 is selected in “Commented or Disabled”; a red arrow points to its empty Events pane.] --- page 30 --- ## Invisibility Purge! --- page 31 --- ## Activating Events of Invisible Controls - Prerequisites (ASP.Net / Mono) - Invisible Controls: - (I) Either the Viewstate MAC OR the EventValidation features must be turned off. - (II) The developer should rely solely on the control invisibility for protecting the invisible control events. [Configuration screenshots, transcribed as cropped in the original; the two page directives are visibly incomplete.] ```text <%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" EnableEventValidation="false" <%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" EnableViewStateMac="false" ``` --- page 32 --- ## Activating Events of Invisible Controls (Cont.) - EventValidation is ON but the Viewstate MAC is OFF - In order for the attack to succeed, we need to forge a valid viewstate / eventvalidation structure (no MAC) - Craft a request using SCIP or other viewstate/eventtarget editors ```text <%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" EnableEventValidation="true" EnableViewStateMac=“false“ ...%> ``` --- page 33 --- ## Activating Events of Invisible Controls (Cont.) - EventValidation is OFF - Since there’s no event validation, any event can be executed, regardless of the viewstate value - Craft a request with valid EVENTTARGET value OR - Inject a custom Postback/Callback call to the response HTML, and target the event of the invisible control ```text <%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" EnableEventValidation=“false" EnableViewStateMac=“true“ ...%> ``` - In all cases, we still need to obtain the control / event name... --- page 34 --- ## Activating Events of Invisible Controls (Cont.) - The Process of Server Control Enumeration - In this scenario, the control leaves no client-side traces: - Control Name Fuzzing - Core Controls vs. Custom Controls - Control Event Enumeration - Core Events vs. Custom Events - Dormant Events vs. Active Events --- page 35 --- ## Common Control Naming Conventions - Default: [ControlType][Number] - Button1, Button2, TextBox1, TextBox2 ... - Default II (v1.1-v3.5/Master): ctl[ID]$[contentScope]$... - ctl00$MainContent$txtName, ctl00$Content$cmdSubmit - Legacy: [ControlTypeShortCut][Number] - txt1, txt2, btn1, btn2, cmd1, cmd2, lst1, lst2 ... - Custom Legacy: [ControlTypeShortCut][Logic] - txtUsername, txtPassword, btnSubmit, cmdAddUser ... - Plain: [Logic] - user, pass, submit, delete - Title Match: [Title] - Username, Password, Origin, Email, Update --- page 36 --- ## Error-Based Control Enumeration - Accessing invalid control names will NOT raise exceptions - Accessing protected will – only works if EventValidation is ON --- page 37 --- ## Blind Control Enumeration - Basic Blind Differentiation Formula: ```text ValidControlEvent = False; OriginalResponse = getResponse(“Page1.aspx?param=value”); VerificationResponse = getResponse(“Page1.aspx?param=value”); ConfirmationResponse = getResponse(“Page1.aspx?param=value”); InconsistentContent = VerificationResponse - ReflectedValues - TimestampTokens; ClearResponse = OriginalRespone - ReflectedValues - InconsistentContent - TimestampTokens; EventExecResponse = getResponse(“Page1.aspx?param=value&EVENTTARGET=...”); EventExecResponse = OriginalRespone - ReflectedValues - InconsistentContent - TimestampTokens; If (Diff (ClearResponse, EventExecResponse ) > 0) ValidControlEvent = True; ``` [Archive transcription note: `OriginalRespone` and the second assignment to `EventExecResponse` reproduce the original slide.] --- page 38 --- ## Activating Events of Invisible Controls (Cont.) [Figure: SCIP is loaded with `http://localhost:7011/WelcomeChanged.aspx`. ViewState and Event Validation are checked, but both MAC indicators are unchecked. The Control Enumeration dialog has an empty Prefix field, a “Run” button, attempts Text1 through Text10, and reports “Controls Found: 3”.] --- page 39 --- ## Activating Events of Invisible Controls (Cont.) [Figure: the same SCIP target now lists enumeration results `button1`, `button2`, and `textbox1`, each marked “Hidden: Yes”. A red arrow points to button2. Visible controls include Button5–Button8 and the newly added lower-case button names; the commented/disabled list contains Button4, Button3, and TextBox1.] --- page 40 --- ## Activating Events of Invisible Controls (Cont.) [Response screenshot transcription: `HTTP/1.1 200 OK`, server `ASP.NET Development Server/10.0.0.0`, date `Wed, 23 Jan 2013 23:31:13 GMT`, `X-AspNet-Version: 2.0.50727`, `Cache-Control: private`, `Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8`, `Content-Length: 2332`, `Connection: Close`. The HTML displays “System Control Monitor”, “Welcome user1”, and highlighted “Shutting Down Server”. The form posts to `WelcomeChanged.aspx`. The remainder of the HTML is cropped in the screenshot.] --- page 41 --- ## Locating Hidden Optional Events --- page 42 --- ## Activating Hidden Optional Events - Prerequisites – Multiple Dormant Events of a Single Control: - By default, only a limited amount of basic controls support multiple events (not including custom controls). - The hidden control must be assigned with multiple valid events (example: Calendar control). - In addition to fuzzing a valid eventtarget, the tester can execute the “optional” events by locating/fuzzing a valid eventargument - Different eventargument formats can execute different server events (for example V[value] vs. [value]) - Advanced: Core Events and Custom Events - Click, Command, onSelectionChanged, OnVisibleMonthChanged, Etc --- page 43 --- ## Activating Hidden Optional Events [Calendar code screenshot transcription. The normal selection event and hidden optional month-change event are highlighted separately.] ```aspx ``` ```csharp protected void Secret_Click(object sender, MonthChangedEventArgs e) { Label1.Text = "Secret!!!"; Label1.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red; Label1.BorderColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red; } protected void Calendar1_SelectionChanged(object sender, EventArgs e) { Label1.Text = "Normal"; Label1.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Black; Label1.BorderColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red; } ``` [Figure: a February 2013 calendar highlights month-navigation arrows and day 28. Cropped rendered HTML highlights `__doPostBack('Calendar1','V4749')` and `__doPostBack('Calendar1','V4808')` for month changes, compared with numeric arguments `4775`, `4776`, `4777`, and `4778` for date selection.] --- page 44 --- ## Advanced SCIP Methods Executing Events of Invisible Controls DESPITE Active Event Validation & Viewstate MAC --- page 45 --- ## Advanced SCIP Methods - Prerequisites - Execute Events In Spite of Security Features: - Obtain the names of server controls from cached / indexed content: (search engines, browser cache of another high privileged user, etc) - Reuse the cached VIEWSTATE, EVENTTARGET, EVENTARGUMENT and EVENTVALIDATION to executing dormant events (will work regardless of visibility or security features!) --- page 46 --- ## Advanced SCIP Methods (Cont.) [Figure: a browser address bar reads `about:cache`. The cached HTML includes empty hidden `__EVENTTARGET` and `__EVENTARGUMENT`, a populated `__VIEWSTATE`, and a populated `__EVENTVALIDATION`. Both stored state fields are outlined in red. Between them, the same `__doPostBack(eventTarget, eventArgument)` function shown on page 12 assigns the hidden values and submits `form1`. Opaque sample state values remain in the original PDF.] --- page 47 --- ## Advanced SCIP Methods (Cont.) - Reusing Obsolete Cached / Indexed State Flags - Reusing the state and validation of indexed/cached versions page might work even if the control structure changed (!) - Controls, State and validation flag must origin from the same page (so the signature will be effective) - Controls must be included/include the controls of the page - Signed Content Scraping Using Web Attacks - XSS, Clickjacking, Etc --- page 48 --- ## Advanced SCIP Methods (Cont.) - Shared Hosting Attack Model - Can bypass Viewstate MAC and EventValidation - Scenarios for Shared Application Pool - Scenarios for Isolated Application Pool --- page 49 --- ## Risk Mitigation --- page 50 --- ## SCIP Mitigation - Secure Coding Practices - Do NOT use the Disabled property for security purposes - Do NOT rely on HTML comments to hide controls - Remove unnecessary dormant events from all layers: HTML, Design (e.g. aspx), CodeBehind (e.g. aspx.cs) - Implement code-level privilege validation in each event - Enforce digital signatures (Viewstate MAC) - Activate event validation mechanisms (EventValidation) - Disable cache / Prevent indexing in pages with sensitive controls! - Customize the platform error messages --- page 51 --- ## Event / Privilege Validation - Explicit Privilege Validation in Event Code ```text protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { if (((String)Session["user"]).Equals("admin")) { ... } } ``` - Enable Event Validation / MAC ```text <%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" EnableEventValidation="true" EnableViewStateMac="true“ ...%> ``` --- page 52 --- ## Disable Cache in ASP.net - Disable Browser/Proxy Cache (Sample Code) ```csharp HttpContext.Current.Response.Cache.SetExpires(DateTime.UtcNow.AddDays(-1)); HttpContext.Current.Response.Cache.SetValidUntilExpires(false); HttpContext.Current.Response.Cache.SetRevalidation(HttpCacheRevalidation.AllCaches); HttpContext.Current.Response.Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability.NoCache); HttpContext.Current.Response.Cache.SetNoStore(); ``` - Restrict SE access in robots.txt (Sample Config) - http://www.robotstxt.org/robotstxt.html ```text User-agent: * Disallow: / ``` - Restrict SE caching/crawling via meta tags - http://www.robotstxt.org/meta.html --- page 53 --- ## The Original Theory --- page 54 --- ## The Original Research - Reuse the viewstate / eventvalidation fields of other pages - Pages with similar controls - Pages with identical controls - EventValidation responding differently to manipulations on various control types - Reuse a partial or included cached viewstate / eventvalidation fields - Different behaviors for different ASP.Net versions (v1.1, v2.0,v3.5, v4.0...) and Mono versions --- page 55 --- ## Summary --- page 56 --- ## The SCIP Project - SCIP - Homepage: http://code.google.com/p/ria-scip/ - OWASP ZAP extension (v2.0+), currently focused at ASP.net - Current Features: - disabled/commented control event execution - error-based detection of invisible controls - manual execution of target events - Manual parameter tampering even when event validation is ON (while viewstate MAC is off) - Upcoming features: cache scraping / reuse, blind event enumeration - Relies on Diviner diff methods for Blind Control Enumeration --- page 57 --- ## The Diviner Project - Diviner - Homepage: http://code.google.com/p/diviner/ - OWASP ZAP extension (v1.4+/v2.0+) - Requires ZAP to run with Java 1.7+ --- page 58 --- ## Activating SCIP in ZAP [Figure: OWASP ZAP’s Sites tree contains `http://localhost:7011`, a POST to Login.aspx, and GET requests for WelcomePage.aspx, WelcomeMirror.aspx, and WelcomeChanged.aspx. The selected page’s context menu has a highlighted “SCIP” option.] --- page 59 --- ## Summary & Conclusions - Potential Dormant Events: - Events of Disabled Controls (ASP.Net: .enabled=false) - Events of Invisible Controls (ASP.Net: .visible=false) - Events of HTML Commented Controls (aspx: ``) - Hidden Alternate Events of Core/Custom Controls --- page 60 --- ## Summary & Conclusions (Cont.) - Prerequisites for Event Execution Methods: - Events of Disabled /Commented Controls - None! - Events of Invisible Controls - the EventValidation OR Viewstate MAC must be turned off; can occur per machine, application, page or control - Hidden Alternate Events of Core/Custom Controls - Advanced Event Execution Methods: - Execute any control event, regardless of viewstate MAC or event validation, by reusing cached values of viewstate, eventtarget, eventargument and eventvalidation fields - State fields must include the control’s digitally signed content --- page 61 --- ## And Finally... --- page 62 --- ## Additional Resources - Diviner Homepage (ZAP 1.4+/2.0+ Extension) - http://code.google.com/p/diviner/ - SCIP Homepage (ZAP 2.0+ Extension) - http://code.google.com/p/ria-scip/ - OWASP ZAP Proxy - http://code.google.com/p/zaproxy/ - Great posts on the subject by James Jardine - http://www.jardinesoftware.net/ --- page 63 --- ## Ernst & Young Advanced Security Centers - Americas - Hacktics IL - Houston - New York - Buenos Aires - EMEIA - Dublin - Barcelona - Asia Pacific - Singapore - Melbourne --- page 64 --- ## Ernst & Young Assurance | Tax | Transactions | Advisory About Ernst & Young Ernst & Young is a global leader in assurance, tax, transaction and advisory services.
