4.2.5 Identifying & Exploiting XSS with XSSer

Previous4.2.4 DOM-Based XSSNext4.3 ​SQL Injection (SQLi)

Cross Site "Scripter" (aka XSSer) is an automatic -framework- to detect, exploit and report XSS vulnerabilities in web-based applications.

It provides several options to try to bypass certain filters and various special techniques for code injection.

XSSer has pre-installed [ > 1300 XSS ] attacking vectors and can bypass-exploit code on several browsers/WAFs:

Lab

Trying to insert and execute a standard payload: <script>alert("XSS")</script> I can't write all text for shorter input lenght, in addition i receive this error only writing <script> tag:

Then, capturing the request using Burp Suite we can prepare a payload to give to xsser

The type of command that we need is this: xsser --url "<http://website.com" -p "payload (request that we want to test, changing the target_host value with XSS instead of example)"

xsser --url "https://localhost/mutillidae/index.php?page=dns-lookup.php" -p "target_host=XSS&dns-lookup-php-submit-button=Lookup+DNS"

Active GUI mode

There's a XSSer GUI mode that facilitate the utilize, activable with flag --gtk

xsser --gtk

: Very popular but unfortunately not very well maintained

: Extensive functionality and extremely fast thanks to the implementation in Go

: Similar to Dalfox but based on Ruby
