description: "Three attack families against widely deployed web features: AppCache manifests abused by cookie bombing so a forced 500 makes the FALLBACK page serve a whole directory or origin, weak cloud upload policies that let business logic be bypassed, and postMessage handlers that leak data, can be raced, or execute attacker script through sandboxed domains."

![Original slide 8: AppCache – Not modern!](../../figures/2018/attacking-modern-web-technologies/slide-008.png)

## Slide 9 — Disclaimer

Found independently by

@filedescriptor

Announced last AppSecEU

https://speakerdeck.com/filedescriptor/exploiting-the-unexploitable-with-lesser-known-browser-tricks?slide=22

![Original slide 9: Disclaimer](../../figures/2018/attacking-modern-web-technologies/slide-009.png)

## Slide 10 — AppCache

```html
<html manifest="example.appcache">
  ...
</html>
```

![Original slide 10: AppCache](../../figures/2018/attacking-modern-web-technologies/slide-010.png)

## Slide 11 — AppCache

```html
<html manifest="example.appcache">
  ...
</html>
```

```text
CACHE MANIFEST
# v1 - 2011-08-13
# This is a comment.
http://www.example.com/index.html
http://www.example.com/header.png
```

![Original slide 11: AppCache](../../figures/2018/attacking-modern-web-technologies/slide-011.png)

## Slide 12 — AppCache

```html
<html manifest="example.appcache">

```

```text
CACHE MANIFEST
# v1 - 2011-08-13
# This is a comment.

```

![Original slide 12: AppCache](../../figures/2018/attacking-modern-web-technologies/slide-012.png)

## Slide 13 — Cookie Stuffing/Bombing

Will make EVERY page return 500 Error = Manifest FALLBACK will be used

```html
<script>
<![CDATA[
setTimeout(function(){
for(x=0;x<9999;x++){document.cookie=x+'='+Array(999).join('a')+';path=/'};
}, 1000);
]]></script>
```

![Original slide 13: Cookie Stuffing/Bombing](../../figures/2018/attacking-modern-web-technologies/slide-013.png)

## Slide 14 — Bug in every browser

Manifest placed in /u/2241902/manifest.txt

Would use the FALLBACK for EVERYTHING, even outside the dir

```text
CACHE MANIFEST

FALLBACK:
/ /u/2241902/manifest/report.xml

NETWORK:
http://*
https://*
*
```

![Original slide 14: Bug in every browser](../../figures/2018/attacking-modern-web-technologies/slide-014.png)

## Slide 15 — Surprise – Specification was vague

"To mitigate this, manifests can only specify

fallbacks that are in the same path as the

manifest itself."

https://www.w3.org/TR/2015/WD-html51-20150506/browsers.html#concept-appcache-manifest-fallback

![Original slide 15: Surprise – Specification was vague](../../figures/2018/attacking-modern-web-technologies/slide-015.png)

## Slide 16 — Surprise – Specification was vague

"To mitigate this, manifests can only specify

fallbacks that are in the same path as the

manifest itself."

This was confusing, could mean the path to the fallback-

URL and that was what browsers thought. They missed:

"Fallback namespaces must also be in the same path as the manifest's URL."

https://www.w3.org/TR/2015/WD-html51-20150506/browsers.html#concept-appcache-manifest-fallback

![Original slide 16: Surprise – Specification was vague](../../figures/2018/attacking-modern-web-technologies/slide-016.png)

## Slide 17 — AppCache demo

![Original slide 17: AppCache demo](../../figures/2018/attacking-modern-web-technologies/slide-017.png)

## Slide 18 — AppCache demo

![Original slide 18: AppCache demo](../../figures/2018/attacking-modern-web-technologies/slide-018.png)

## Slide 19 — AppCache on Dropbox

- Could run XML on dl.dropboxusercontent.com as HTML

- XML installs manifest in browser on root

- Any file downloaded from Dropbox would use the

fallback XML-HTML page, which would log the current

URL to an external logging site

- Every secret link would be leaked to the attacker

![Original slide 19: AppCache on Dropbox](../../figures/2018/attacking-modern-web-technologies/slide-019.png)

## Slide 20 — AppCache on Dropbox

- Could run XML on dl.dropboxusercontent.com as HTML

- XML installs manifest in browser on root

- Any file downloaded from Dropbox would use the

fallback XML-HTML page, which would log the current

URL to an external logging site

- Every secret link would be leaked to the attacker

Bounty: $12,845

![Original slide 20: AppCache on Dropbox](../../figures/2018/attacking-modern-web-technologies/slide-020.png)

![Original slide 23: Dropbox mitigations](../../figures/2018/attacking-modern-web-technologies/slide-023.png)

## Slide 24 — AppCache vulns still possible

Requirements:

- HTTPS only (was changed recently)

- Files uploaded can run HTML

- Files could be on a isolated sandboxed domain

- Files are uploaded to the same directory for all users

![Original slide 24: AppCache vulns still possible](../../figures/2018/attacking-modern-web-technologies/slide-024.png)

## Slide 25 — ServiceWorkers, big brother of AppCache

Requirements:

- HTTPS only

- Files uploaded can run HTML

- Files could be on a isolated sandboxed domain

- Files are uploaded to the root path

For example: bucket123.s3.amazonaws.com/test.html

![Original slide 25: ServiceWorkers, big brother of AppCache](../../figures/2018/attacking-modern-web-technologies/slide-025.png)

## Slide 26 — Upload Policies AWS and Google Cloud

![Original slide 26: Upload Policies AWS and Google Cloud](../../figures/2018/attacking-modern-web-technologies/slide-026.png)

## Slide 27 — Upload Policies

A way to upload files directly to a bucket, without

passing the company’s server first.

"Faster upload

"Secure (signed policy)

![Original slide 27: Upload Policies](../../figures/2018/attacking-modern-web-technologies/slide-027.png)

## Slide 28 — Upload Policies

A way to upload files directly to a bucket, without

passing the company’s server first.

"Faster upload

"Secure (signed policy)

"Easy to do wrong!

![Original slide 28: Upload Policies](../../figures/2018/attacking-modern-web-technologies/slide-028.png)

## Slide 29 — Upload Policies

Looks like this:

```http
POST /bucket-name HTTP/1.1
Host: s3.amazonaws.com
Connection: close
Content-Length: 341520
```

![Original slide 29: Upload Policies](../../figures/2018/attacking-modern-web-technologies/slide-029.png)

## Slide 30 — Upload Policies

Policy is a signed base64 encoded JSON

```json
{ "expiration": "2018-03-04T15:38:11Z",
  "conditions": [
    {"bucket": "example-uploads"},
    ["starts-with", "$key", "acct_1XAHBapeZ06R42bwNwUt"],
    {"acl": "public-read"},
    {"success_action_redirect": "https://dashboard.example.com/file_upload/complete"},
    ["starts-with", "$Content-Type", ""],
    ["content-length-range", 0, 524288]
  ]
```

![Original slide 30: Upload Policies](../../figures/2018/attacking-modern-web-technologies/slide-030.png)

## Slide 31 — Pitfalls AWS S3

![Original slide 31: Pitfalls AWS S3](../../figures/2018/attacking-modern-web-technologies/slide-031.png)

## Slide 32 — Pitfalls AWS S3

- does not contain anything

We can replace any file in the bucket!

- does not contain path-separator

Solution: Use either ._data, .expando or .events from jQuery object!

```javascript
function(b){return typeof
_!==za&&_.event.triggered!==b.type?
_.event.dispatch.apply(a,arguments):void 0}
```

```javascript
function(msg) {
    var msgData = msg.originalEvent.data;

    if (msgData.msgid != "docstrap.quicksearch.start") {
        return;
    }

    var results = Searcher.search(msgData.searchTerms);

    window.parent.postMessage({"results": results,
