#Learn365 Day-6: Cross-Site Leaks Goldmine to Learn: http…

(2/n)
This basically utilizes the web's core principle of composability in order to determine & extract useful information.

XS-Leaks take advantage of small pieces of information that are exposed during interactions between websites.

(3/n)
Cross-Site Oracle.

This can be considered as a querying mechanism. The information used for this attack is of binary form and called Oracles. It usually has an answer of "Yes" or "No". You can say True or False.

(4/n)
For Example: Does User Harsh Exists in the Application. Yes, means that the user is there in the application.
- An attacker requires to smartly form queries in order to successfully execute this attack and gain hold of sensitive information.

(5/n)
Some of the Attacks using Cross-Site leaks are:

1. XS-Search: An attacker try to abuse the query mechanism such as search functionality to leak and get hold of the user's information.

Remediation
- Same Site Lax Cookies

(6/n)
Usual Exploitation Workflow:

1. Define a timeline when there is a Hit vs Miss
2. Start attacking the Querying Endpoint.
3. For Example: ?search=h (Throws a Hit)
search for the next word appended to `h` i.e. ?search=ha otherwise change the word i.e. ?search=b

2. Error Events

Based on the Error Message returned by the application, it may be possible to enumerate sensitive information. This is similar to user enumeration techniques.

6. Post Message Broadcasts
a. Sharing Sensitive message with untrusted origins
b. Leaking information based on varying content or on the presence of a broadcast

7. Abusing Browser Features
- CORB (Cross-Origin Read Blocking)
- CORP (Cross-Origin Resource Policy)
