moeinfatehi/file_upload_vulnerabilities repository overview

⁠File Upload Vulnerability Scenarios (Challenges)

This repository is a dockerized PHP application containing some file upload vulnerability challenges (scenarios).

OWASP References:

• Classification: Web Application Security Testing > 10-Business Logic Testing
• WSTG: WSTG-BUSL-09⁠
  

⁠Bypass Techniques

The ideas behind challenges are:

• Bypassing client-side file extension validations.
• Bypassing client-side file size validations.
• Injecting PHP code into a gif file
• Run any extensions with the PHP engine (using .htaccess file)
• Black-list extension validation bypass
• White-list extension validation bypass
• Double extension bypass
• Server-side file size validation bypass
• Server-side file extension validation bypass
• Content-type validation bypass of file upload
• Finding renamed file names and locations after upload process
• Removing force download (using "Content-Disposition" header) to run the php file by use of htaccess

⁠Quick Start Using Docker

Using docker hub (Quickest):

1. To access the challenges, you need docker⁠ installed.
   
2. Run this command to pull and run the image from docker hub:
   sudo docker run -d -p 9001:80 moeinfatehi/file_upload_vulnerabilities
3. Access the challenges with this URL: http://localhost:9001⁠

Using docker-compose:

1. To access the challenges, you need docker⁠ and docker-compose⁠ installed.
   
2. Clone the repository
   git clone https://github.com/moeinfatehi/file_upload_vulnerability_scenarios.git
3. Open the main directory of the project (where docker-compose.yml file exists) and run: docker-compose up
4. Access the challenges with this URL: http://localhost:9001⁠

⁠Attention

• Do not host these challenges without docker on your main operating system and web server, because any of these challenges are critically dangerous ones, if any hacker can access these challenges on your host webserver, your main OS can be attacked in different ways.
  
• Using docker-compose which is described above will not have these type of impacts.
