SQL Injection - What is it?• Control code injected into the
data channel• Values are altered to create SQL
commands where only data is expected
Dangerous?Network enumerationAccount creating/crackingDatabase Copying over port 80Data TamperingCode DownloadBackdoors
Expected Input Unexpected Input
'
How Is It Exploited?URI tampering
Parameter Tampering
Cookie Tampering Set-Cookie: DefaultSearchLanguage=EN-US' union x,x,x--; path=/;
How Do You Prevent It?ALL calls are parameterized
No dynamic strings
Escape/Whitelist input.
Audit table permissions!
Use Entity Framework!!
DEMO - Permissions checker code
But I Need My Dynamic SQL!
1. Usually not – dynamic where clauses with static SQL:WHERE CustomerId = Coalesce(@customerId, CustomerId)
2. Dynamic Order By using RANK3. Regex/whitelist everything possible + parameterized queries4. Avoid exec instead of sp_executesql because of the lack of
parameter support.
SQL Injection Misconceptions
I am safe if always using stored procs: FALSE
If I replace only -- and ' you are safe: FALSE
If I have an error page I’m safe: FALSE
Proper permissions will always protect me: FALSE
Parameterized queries will protect me: Potentially
Together these help make the app safER
SQL InjectionCross Site ScriptingCross Site Request ForgeryParameter Tampering Encryption / Protecting Credentials Information LeakageWhen CSS isn’t cool
XSS – What is it?
Script injected into: Page Database CookiesTwo types – reflected and persistentAccess DOM, steal cookies, send form data, and more
Candidate Names Included:Unauthorized Site ScriptingUnofficial Site ScriptingURL Parameter Script InsertionCross Site ScriptingSynthesized ScriptingFraudulent Scripting
Script Injected to Web PageEvil Script User Visits Page
How Is XSS Exploited?Page processes malicious data as scriptURIs, Form Fields, Cookies, and Databases all sources of dataTricky to catch all combinations:<DIV STYLE="width: expression(alert('XSS'));“>"/<script((\s+\w+(\s*=\s*(?:"(.)*?"|'(.)*?'|[^'">\s]+))?)+\s*|\s*)src/i". UTF 7 Encoding (IE6 only) +ADw-SCRIPT+AD4-alert('XSS');+ADw-/SCRIPT+AD4-Without <script> tags<body onload=alert('test1')>
How Do You Prevent XSS?1. HtmlEncode or AttributeEncode all output: @, <%:, HtmlEncode(), HtmlAttributeEncode() Warning: <:#
No dynamic attributes - <div onclick={dynamic text} >2. Avoid ValidateRequest=false3. WYSIWYG Editing or HTML-
• Encode output before POST (Telerik, etc support this)• MVC3 - [AllowHtml] on Model Property – No [ValidateInput(false)]
4. ASP.Net 4 <httpRuntime encoderType> - Use Anti-Xss
Preventing XSS - AdditionalShould you store data encoded?Not encoded, but sanitized.
Encoding & storing can lead to double encoding:< < &lt; &amp;let
AntiXss Sanitizer’s GetSafeHtml/GetSafeHtmlFragmentTest controls - inject script, special characters.Audit all locations data is dynamically displayed ex: <%, <%#Goodbye IE6 – Prevent yee I shall!
SQL InjectionCross Site ScriptingCross Site Request ForgeryParameter Tampering Encryption / Protecting Credentials Information LeakageForgery makes developers unhappy : (
CSRF – What Is It?
Attacker uses the fact the victim is authenticated to a website
Attacker crafts a request the user executes
Can be very simple - image tag in an email, script on a blog
Identifying the attacker can be difficult
CSRF – How Is It Exploited?Requests are generally repeatableImage - can be embedded in an email <img src="http://host/CreateUser?JaneDoe">Attacked via XSS <script src="http://host/CreateUser?JaneDoe"> <iframe src="http://host/CreateUser?JaneDoe">Invisible actions via the 'Image' Objectvar foo = new Image(); foo.src = "http://host/CreateUser?JaneDoe";
CSRF – How Do You Prevent It? 1/2All ‘actions’ through POST onlyGET requests only return data
Use Hidden Form TokenToken required on POST
GET Request
Data Returned-No Action
POST Request with Token
Token Check->Action!
CSRF – How Do You Prevent It 2/2MVC
• [HttpPost]• Html.AntiForgeryToken() & [ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
Web Forms• ViewStateUserKey = SessionId• Do not turn off: EnableViewStateMac=true
Hi, I’m The One-Click Attack
Web Forms Assumptions:Button commands are only processed on post events? FALSE
ViewState only processed if posted? FALSE
Page.IsPostBack means there definitely been a post? FALSE

EncryptionEncrypt sensitive config settings
Hash or Encrypt ALL Passwords
Encrypt all sensitive private information
Additional Code Demos for download
aspnet_regiis.exe -pe "connectionStrings" -app "/security“
Encrypt AFTER deployment to avoid machine key issues
Protecting Credentials• ALL pages use SSL• Intranet applications too!• Credentials / token usually sent
on every request• httpOnly cookies prevent client
script access – use always• Forms authentication requireSSL• No session info in the URI• Session Hijacking only takes
one cookie value

SQL InjectionCross Site ScriptingCross Site Request ForgeryParameter TamperingEncryption / Protecting CredentialsInformation LeakageCaptain – She’s sprung a leak!!!!!
Information Leakage1. Implement <customErrors>
2. Test various types of errors (404, 500, etc)
3. Ensure ALL tracing is disabled• Disable all page level tracing • Search for tracing in web.config • Try accessing trace.axd
Simplest Implementation in web.config
