Active scripts with
ZAP OWASP are excellent extension for custom test depending on you application logic. You want to use solid test, it is better to use Java plugins. Still, if you want to make fast test without investing many efforts scripting is the best option.
Before you being you need to know some small tricks
- if the script fails, it will be disabled. Look at the icon after the run.
- scripts can be activated and deactivate in the policy menu. During the development it is good to disable all other rules and test only the active scripts.
- you need to import some Java classes in Java Script (ECMAScrip Rhino). Rhino gives you the possibility to use Java classes in you Java Script parts and this is very powerful.
- If you don't know which Java classes you need, have look at ZAP sources
- Like ever script most useful way is try and error. You do not have in ZAP big debugging possibilities besides println.
I used ECMAScript (JavaSript) - Rhino but in previous blogs I used python, so feel free.
Here the important part of the script
Adding a custom header
// set a additional Header
httpRequestHeader = msg.getRequestHeader();
httpRequestHeader.setHeader("additonalHeader","valueHeader");
msg.setRequestHeader(httpRequestHeader);
Adding a custom URL parameter
// add URL params
importClass(org.apache.commons.httpclient.URI);
uri=httpRequestHeader.getURI();
query=uri.getQuery();
// check if query string is empty
if (query!="") {
query=query+"&testParam=Values";
} else {
query=query+"testParam=Value";
}
newURI=org.apache.commons.httpclient.URI(uri.getScheme() , null , uri.getHost(),uri.getPort(), uri.getPath(), query, uri.getFragment());
httpRequestHeader.setURI(newURI);
adding a custom test (new line) to POST requests
// append a new line to the HttpBody
importClass(org.zaproxy.zap.network.HttpRequestBody);
if (msg.getRequestHeader().getMethod()=="POST") {
newBody=org.zaproxy.zap.network.HttpRequestBody(msg.getRequestBody().toString() + "\nMy Added HttpBody");
msg.setRequestBody(newBody);
}
After you send the packet
check if the response body contains some string
// get response Body
rsp=msg.getResponseBody().toString();
// see if conatins certain string
if (rsp.indexOf("Potental attack")>-1) {
println('The response body contains the dangerous sting ""');
you can clone the request again and send second packet if the attack you are testing consist of multiple packets
A small example with all part can be seen below:
Enjoy
importClass(org.zaproxy.zap.network.HttpRequestBody);
importClass(org.apache.commons.httpclient.URI);
function scanNode(as, msg) {
// Debugging can be done using println like this
// importPackage(org.apache.commons.httpclient.URI);
println('scan called for url=' + msg.getRequestHeader().getURI().toString());
// Copy requests before reusing them
msg = msg.cloneRequest();
// set a additional Header
httpRequestHeader = msg.getRequestHeader();
httpRequestHeader.setHeader("additonalHeader","valueHeader");
msg.setRequestHeader(httpRequestHeader);
uri=httpRequestHeader.getURI();
query=uri.getQuery();
// check if query string is empty
if (query!="") {
query=query+"&testParam=Values";
} else {
query=query+"testParam=Value";
}
newURI=org.apache.commons.httpclient.URI(uri.getScheme() , null , uri.getHost(),uri.getPort(), uri.getPath(), query, uri.getFragment());
httpRequestHeader.setURI(newURI);
// append a new line to the HttpBody
if (msg.getRequestHeader().getMethod()=="POST") {
newBody=org.zaproxy.zap.network.HttpRequestBody(msg.getRequestBody().toString() + "\nMy Added HttpBody");
msg.setRequestBody(newBody);
}
// sendAndReceive(msg, followRedirect, handleAntiCSRFtoken)
as.sendAndReceive(msg, false, false);
// get response Body
rsp=msg.getResponseBody().toString();
// see if conatins certain string
if (rsp.indexOf("opengraphprotoco")>-1) {
println('The response body contains the sting "opengraphprotoco"');
// sending a second messge
// Copy requests before reusing them
msgSecond = msg.cloneRequest();
// set a additional Header
httpRequestHeader = msgSecond.getRequestHeader();
httpRequestHeader.setHeader("additonalHeader-Second","valueHeader-Second");
msgSecond.setRequestHeader(httpRequestHeader);
as.sendAndReceive(msgSecond, false, false);
// get response Header
rspSecond=msgSecond.getResponseHeader().toString();
// see if conatins certain string
if (rspSecond.indexOf("Server: nginx")>-1) {
// raise an Alert
// raiseAlert(risk, int confidence, String name, String description, String uri,
// String param, String attack, String otherInfo, String solution, String evidence,
// int cweId, int wascId, HttpMessage msg)
// risk: 0: info, 1: low, 2: medium, 3: high
// confidence: 0: falsePositive, 1: low, 2: medium, 3: high, 4: confirmed
as.raiseAlert(1, 1, 'My Test Vulnarability ', 'My Test vulnarability', msg.getRequestHeader().getURI().toString(),
query, 'Your attack', 'Any other info', 'The solution ', '', 0, 0, msg);
}
}
// Test the responses and raise alerts as below
msg.add
// Check if the scan was stopped before performing lengthy tasks
if (as.isStop()) {
return
}
// Do lengthy task...
}
